Then you just have Beeper. It costs a lot of money to maintain bridges to these messaging apps. It's not sustainable to have all of them in a single app.

This beautiful, it has a hook in both directions. Like a little piece of art sitting here on the site.
I don’t think we really know the truth. It’s a sin to say anything that goes against the consensus. If you say “I disagree with this study and here’s proof of why the numbers don’t add up” you’re instantly flagged as a denier. There’s no more real science being done. The “97% of scientists agree” turned out to be plain old BS. Majority of the scientists were not climate scientists, or said i dont know it makes sense. After publishing a lot of those scientists said their statements were skewed or interpreted wrong.
What you say is true. However, the dangers are at least as large as the benefits. There are two kinds of danger that we need to keep in mind.

First, and most obvious, is hacking. Government services are hacked as least as often as private services. If all of your information is centrally accessible under a single ID, that is a single point of serious danger.

Second, we tend to think of government as a monolithic organization. It is not - government is made up of people. Some good, some evil, most just trying to get through the day. There have been plenty of cases of individuals, with government access, avenging themselves on their ex-spouses, on their rivals, or on people they just don't like. Centralized access to all your government services makes you much more vulnerable to such attacks.

That's not so say a centralized ID is a bad idea. However, we need to be aware of the associated problems, and ensure that there is security, and that mitigations are already planned in advance for when (not if) a security breech occurs.
I think misleading advertising is always dangerous but there isn't anything particularly wrong about targeting.

It seems to me this is similar to the way poker players observe 'tells' in the other players - cataloging innocuous observations to make highly specific inferences. I know people who are naturally observant and quite good at this. As I think about it this is really what makes Sherlock Holmes so interesting too.

What's changing is the scope, scale and access. It's no longer necessary to be a savant or have a special talent - all you need are hundreds of banal data points easily scooped from the meta data wake we all leave. Not to mention it can be programmed and commoditized instead of being a special attribute of another human. The realization feels a bit like climate change in that some folks saw it coming, pointed it out, articulated the issues, underestimated how fast it would actually arrive and how profound the impact would be.

But back to the point at hand you can't legislate people not see what is publicly before them. You might criminalize recording that data for a while but that doesn't seem to work long term thought it's brutal in the short term. If you can record that data you can analyze that data. From analysis comes inferences and decisions and actions.

I think the more salient question is about equality. I have some ability to obfuscate my meta data wake but as an individual it's pretty limited. Apple, google, Amazon have much more ability to do so despite leaving a gazillion more bits of data laying around. Tools individuals can use to obscure our meta data trail will do more to maintain privacy than trying to tell someone observing me what they can and can't do with their observations.
Not updating cars OTA (yes, even "just" the infotainment) can potentially cost lives as well, as security holes would not get patched until the next service appointment.

For those wondering why some cybersecurity experts are concerned, from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIDAS#Man-in-the-middle_attack...):

> In 2023, a change was proposed to eIDAS that would allow any EU government to surveil all internet communication, even when encrypted.[..]

> The proposal would force internet companies to place a backdoor in web browsers to let them perform a man-in-the-middle attack, deceiving users into thinking that they were communicating with a server they requested, when, in fact, they would be communicating directly with the EU government. The EU government would then read and change their messages before passing the possibly modified message on to the intended recipient.

I learned how expensive hashmaps and hashsets are through Wikipedia dumps. I did some analysis of the most linked-to pages. Countries were among the highest. Hash sets for holding outgoing edges in the link graph ended up causing my program to exceed my laptop’s memory. Plain old lists (Python) were fine, though. And given there aren’t a crazy number of links per page using lists is fine performance wise.
I suppose things like succumbing to the sunken cost fallacy would count?

We don't have a way of telling if we genuinely experience passage of time at all. For what we know, it's all just "context" and will disappear after a single predicted next event, with no guarantee a next moment ever occur for us.

(Of course, since we inherently can't know, it's also meaningless other than as fun thought experiment)
I have been involved in such processes (Trilogue), so here my take:

* We are talking about trilogues, meaning the commission has made a proposal, parliament and council has adopted their positions, and then parliament and council negotiated with the commission as broker to reach a final text. This takes place over many hours of meetings in different format and is a very complex process as each institution needs to make sure the document fits the legal and policy limitations set by the institution's position

* they only recently reached an agreement, which is done on the basis of very messy documents often thousand of pages in table format

* These documents are transformed into a legal text, which is done by parliament's lawyers

* Then all three institutions have to review the file with policy and legal experts to ensure it fits the agreed text

* Lawyer linguists check the text to assure references are correct and translations (23 language versions are all equally valid!) are fully aligned

* A few other steps, like formatting checks, etc

* Only then can the text be published as draft documents for the vote

All that, just to make clear that it's unfortunate it is not public yet, but it is not someone being malicious or intransparent, it's just a complex process. There is likely pressure to have the votes soon as it needs to be in force by early 2024. But before the vote takes place the files must and will be published, else the vote is moved.
I wonder if it’s just not getting the use Apple had hoped. If so, people won’t be inclined to pay for this.

An interesting move by Apple, and it’ll be interesting to see what they do this time next year too.

To be fair, the show over dramatized the KGB angle. But yes, the Soviets knew RBMKs were not the safest design, reactor 4 was built violating safety standards, operators for the test were not properly trained and then safety procedures were ignored during the test. The official incident report is a fascinating read, and should be mandatory reading for everyone studying with goal of having the word engineer in his future job title.

Edit: That should be the one https://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub913e_web.p...

You also have this one: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML0716/ML071690245.pdf

Edit 2:

What with regards to the effect of graphite tipped control rods was, IMHO, as bad as having a dramatic KGB effort to keep it secret: it was forgotten. In 1983, there was an incident in an other RBMK reactor, the HBO series claims the KGB kept it secret, in reality this happened (from the INSAG-7 report and the cited USSR investigative reports):

>> The SCSSINP Commission (Annex I, Section 1-3.8) reports that, after discov-
ery of the positive scram effect at Ignalina in 1983, the chief engineering organiza-
tion informed other organizations and all nuclear power plants with RBMK reactors
that it intended to impose restrictions on the complete withdrawal of control and
safety rods from the core. Such restrictions were never imposed and apparently the
matter was forgotten.

That means in the fact it coupd explode was known, but ignored. Ignored by everyone in the Soviet scientific establishment and nuclear authorities. I don't what's worse, a secret police intervention or a whole science and industry community ignoring safety concerns until it is too late.
All of those choices were bought in and had to pay the most amount for that region to win.

Google later even refused to say what the competitors were paying for that rank, so they probably just overbid themselves for a while now.

Note that they do this for Android, too.
AFAIU not every app can be a driver and most probably no app you installed without administrator rights. There could also be an easy restriction that there can be only one lid open driver or limited to the manufacturer. There are lots of things that could be tried and I will not excuse a billion dollar company that mandates S0ix in the first place.

I guess also that most things that do wake the computer up aren't really doing anything fancy, but Windows just is too nice for them.
A lot of silliness has been tossed around about Teslas in this thread so let's be clear about how they work. A Tesla vehicle have two main independent systems:

- The "car" that operates the motors, blinkers, shifting, Autopilot, etc. It also supplies standard readouts via OBD that you can monitor independently e.g. with a phone app. As far as I'm aware, it is impossible to turn this machine off except when the car is stationary, in park, and the brake is fully pressed (or by disconnecting the 400V battery leads under the rear seat).

- The infotainment computer is a small Linux machine that displays the map, speedometer, music, plays the sound of the blinkers through the speakers, and random other stuff. This system can be reset at any time by holding the two scroll wheels.

There are valid things to criticize about this setup e.g. by not having a standard fallback display of speedo, but you can still read speed from OBD at all times. And Tesla has broken things in OTA updates before, but their rollouts are heavily staged. The last major revert I can remember was FSD beta 10.3 in 2021 back when it had reached a few 10s of testers.
This is quite an absurd summary, both legally and technically simply nonsense.

And eidas is about digital identity management, this critiqued part is just s tiny part of it, not a main feature, so this is not "what eidas is about".

MLOps vs. DevOps: Best Practices, Challenges and Differences
Creating demand/hype
Traditional database systems struggle to handle gridded data efficiently. Using PG with time-based indices is memory and storage extensive. It works well for a limited number of locations, but global weather models at 9-12 km resolution have 4 to 6 million grid-cells.

I am exploiting on the homogeneity of gridded data. In a 2D field, calculating the data position for a graphical coordinate is straightforward. Once you add time as a third dimension, you can pick any timestamp at any point on earth. To optimize read speed, all time steps are stored sequentially on disk in a rotated/transposed OLAP cube.

Although the data now consists of millions of floating-point values without accompanying attributes like timestamps or geographical coordinates, the storage requirements are still high. Open-Meteo chunks data into small portions, each covering 10 locations and 2 weeks of data. Each block is individually compressed using an optimized compression scheme.

While this process isn't groundbreaking and is supported by file systems like NetCDF, Zarr, or HDF5, the challenge lies in efficiently working with multiple weather models and updating data with each new weather model run every few hours.

A few of my friends at uni were into poker. I started to get into it myself. But what really put me off was the game does not work without money. People can't seem to play poker just for fun and that makes it a thoroughly inferior game in my opinion. Also, I couldn't get people interested in anything except Texas Hold'em despite the fact 7 Card Stud is clearly a much better game.
Assuming Rivian does know embedded 101, my guess is that the infotainment system is running Android and the watchdog reported all green once the system services all came online and that it doesn't actually check whether the application layer is really working because, as you know, that would require the watchdog to run a full regression suite before giving the okay, which isn’t practical. Since the update swapped the system to an internal dev cert, they cant push an immediate update to change the boot args because the management plane daemon won’t connect to the C&C server, or it can but the blob they push wouldn’t pass signature validation, or the TEE won’t unlock the device keys because the roots changed. Whatever the case, someone has to go blow a fuse and re-flash the thing, or at least rewrite the boot args via serial. Just a guess.

If it is the most likely “management plane TLS certs” issue, I bet the watchdog won’t confirm the new boot args until the command dispatch daemon gets a pong from the C&C server moving forward (:

Annoying thing is that since PHEVs have a smaller battery they don't have fast charging. So you have to have a place to charge them overnight or at work. If you don't can't do that HEVs give you 30% reduction in gas usage vs ICE and save 3-4k over PHEVs

Agreed. Apple has the resources to go into a lot of businesses they don’t necessarily want to be in and they seem happy enough with the Google arrangement. They like to own and control the technologies core to their products, but even they have to draw a line otherwise they’d be building and running their own fabs.

Plus Microsoft also has a lot of money and talent and have been in the search business a very long time. Bing still sucks. Windows Live Search sucked before it, and MSN search before that. There’s no guarantee Apple could meet or beat the threshold of being at least as good as Google, only that they could, technically, if they wanted to, develop their own, and then they would be the ones the DOJ is going after over the default search engine in Safari (not to mention the punks on the EC would probably find some new law to craft targeting Apple, so it had really better be worth the investment if they were ever going to build a search engine because the price for doing so is going up).
Any idea why there was no announcement of the RC1 (eg "Ready for Testing!") on the Blog when it was apparently actually ready for people to test?

I'll learn anything that makes my life easier.
Hurts my head reading the title
Been away from .NET for many years. In those days, business logic was largely represented as procedural code using classes for organization, manipulating recordsets or datasets.

Is that still the case?
Maybe, but at the same time there were major changes for the platform, so who knows.
Not to define how LLMs can be used but for me the best case for History is different. Basically the idea is that since we're training LLMs on available data from a time period, historians from the future will be able to understand nuances about culture in a way better way if they boot up an LLM trained in 2023 than any other way of querying records.

Things like "what did people in 2023 think about X", "what were some 2023 fads", etc. Some of this can be deduced nowadays from historical records but I think this has the potential of allowing way deeper understanding. Also better than asking that from the 2623 LLM which will be polluted by whatever is the current culture then.

Unfortunately it doesn't help us, only the future historians.

I don’t really know what to make of this article. On one hand, it’s an interesting study of a theoretical IPC limit on some real codes. On the other hand, I don’t believe authors manage to show what they claim to show:

- it doesn’t seem like they take instruction fusion into account (a common technique used to break frequently occurring serial dependencies)

- the ideal CPU model does not estimate the boundary conditions needed to achieve the same performance with either ISA; the relevant question question is whether simpler RISC-V instructions mean that more decoders/EUs are needed or whether fusion can equalize the difference
