Every time I launch Firefox (rare) it gives me a popup telling me it needs to install an update and to please relaunch. Come on man. It's not 2006 anymore, that kind of update prompt doesn't fly anymore.
Not even that, I'm surprised they don't just encode it into the actual uri and dynamically generate those on share and decode when someone clicks it. I'm not seeing why they need this as a parameter in the query string to begin with.

The thing that stands out to me is the described proof of BQP-completeness where they say they prove any quantum system can be similarities as balls and springs, but later they say you may need an exponential number of springs for a classical simulation. That sounds like the BQP reduction would be exponential, guess I'll have to read the paper to see what I'm missing.

You’d have to be a bit naive to think we’re going to allocate more funds to medical research because we took in more taxes.

The government is run like a Ponzi scheme. We’re $33 trillion in debt paying a trillion in interest this year.

Of course the entitlements time bomb is an even bigger problem:

You’re describing central planning, not PDO (which is labeling requirement).
I'm sure the service is still liable for traffic generated so if you are P2P and don't pay up to mandated monopolies you'll be blocked. Per the article, Twitch tried being P2P but it's still expensive.
Fail fast is good advice but not if you don't understand why you failed. Try to get information from your current users on why they aren't willing to pay for your service. Cycle on that and update your product to get a better understanding of what you need to produce as a product that people are willing to pay for. If you can learn from every effort then you can eventually get a winning product.

Also, understand that a product is not a business. A business is the supporting organization that produces the product. Get that going before you move on to something else.
Reminds me of zipdiscs, I think they made those too.
Frankly this does seem like a massive barrier to me.

It's certainly causing me to lose interest, and I suspect it's driving away a lot of people, not least because it was not at all obvious to me there was some way of speeding up getting a language in the first place.

It was already off-putting not to be given a way to write sentences or record right away.

But now that I know, I have no interest in wasting time contributing to a UI translation I actively don't want to be subjected to, but would happily contribute recordings and sentences on occasion if the language was enabled because the potential for speech recognition and tts utility is entirely separate in value from UI.

This whole approach feels really backwards to me, and the really short list of languages no longer surprise me.

EDIT: I see I actually have had it bookmarked a long time, and presumably lost interest once before due to the lack of my language.

EDIT2: As much as the Norwegian UI is already annoying me and I've already spotted at least one spelling mistake in it, and one translation that is "correct" that thoroughly annoys me, I'll see if I can submit some sentences at least.
A handful of Google services are buggy and slow in FireFox. Stackdriver in particular is an absolute shambles. Thankfully I'm an embedded guy so most of the stuff in Stackdriver is hieroglyphics to me anyway.

I can't prove that Google is doing that intentionally, but I wouldn't put it past them.
Twitch shutting down in Korea will most likely not stop Riot Games to keep hosting the World Championship in Korea.

Also, from what I understand, Twitch is marginal in Korea, since they have their own alternative streaming platforms.
There's a fixed, rapidly vanishing probability distribution on bin occupancies, which evaluates to a constant per bin when one applies a sorting algorithm. One gets linear algorithms with different constants, depending on the sorting algorithm. You're thinking "deep end of the pool" worrying about b log b versus b^2. I was in the "shallow end of the pool" where the constants in front of fancy sorts took them out of the running.

Like I said about Strassen and matrix multiplication. Great algorithm, but it takes a while to kick in for the lead.
Loco. The one-person framework for Rust for side-projects and startups
chezmoi (<https://chezmoi.io> or <https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi>) has a couple dozen txtar tests. They are both amazing and completely frustrating to use, but I don't think that there would be a better way to test most of what chezmoi does without them.

Tom Payne (the creator and primary developer of chezmoi) has added some extra commands to the txtar context which makes things easier for certain classes of testing.

All the comments are suggesting, roughly, that 3M is somehow "evil" for getting out of the floppy disk business.

But nobody uses floppy disks anymore! (This is a good thing.)

Why shouldn't they have gotten out before the complete collapse of the floppy-drive market?

Imation made the superdisk, competed with zipdisc and the drive could also read 3.5" "floppy" disks with the same formfactor.

BigTech's Efforts to Derail the AI Act
I agree with many of his points but not this one:

"Foundation AI models are high-risk models and need to be regulated before they enter society."

The onus should be on the ones who deploy the models, including, of course, Big Tech and governments themselves for that matter.
Its "not even wrong", if you had a million monkeys on a million typewriters with a million trillion millenia, still, none would come up with a paper long enough to explain how that'd help anything (ex. trivially, microphone)
I don’t think this actually physically deletes the app, given that it’s back once you reset the phone. It’s most likely just hidden/deactivated until you “reinstall it from the app store”.

Actual updates require the app binary/bundle to be mutable.
You can inspect their hypervisor code and verify the host kernel can not access the VM after creation but if you are running as root then you can obviously inspect whatever process is under host/hypervisor control.

Note that if you have added more than one Google account to your phone, this setting must be enabled for ALL accounts (not just the one you intend to use to activate Beeper Mini) or the "null" error will appear.

However, me not buying something is quite obviously not equivalent to theft.

Besides, I only watch youtube ad-free. If this becomes impossible I will simply stop watching youtube, so, I don't think this strategy will have much effect on me either, at least within the context of youtube.
I don’t know what percentage it is, but people in my age range (40-50) that I know who pirate tend to do so for fear of losing the media they love. I don’t even have time to watch 1% of what I have downloaded on my storage drives, but when I want to watch Mrs. Doubtfire in 25 years I want to make damn sure I can watch the original. I have little faith that whatever conglomerate owns that IP in a quarter century is going to make it easy for me to do so. Or make it even possible.
Finally some sanity in this genre of research:

"To address these limitations, we perform a megastudy—a survey-based study that reports the predictability of numerous personal attributes (349 binary variables) from 2646 distinct facial images of 969 individuals. Using deep learning, we find 82/349 personal attributes (23%) are predictable better than random from facial image pixels."

If you look at the findings neatly summarized in Fig. 2, the predictable ones are as one might expect (race, gender, age, etc.), and the rest is just plain pseudo-science, even though the authors seem to interpret AUC ~= 0.6 as "predicatable" instead of plain noise. Nature's reviewers should take a hint.
Perth, Australia

Pros: beautiful beaches, great weather. Good public transport. Strong mining sector. Mostly good economy.

Cons: expensive CoL. Isolated from the rest of the world and even the rest of Australia. Difficult to find tech investment, most investment funds are focused on real estate with a bit of mining. Housing is expensive (rent and purchase). No real tech scene or community.
I will pirate things I pay for, since there's simply no other way to actually own a copy. One prime example is the latest Star Trek show. The ads on Paramount are absolutely intolerable, despite paying for the service. So we continue to pay and watch ad-free pirated copies.

The exception for me is old stuff. I have exactly zero qualms about not paying for a forty year old movie. Half the actors are dead anyway. The film studio doesn't need or deserve my money for something nobody alive had anything to do with.

I do blanket pirate music, though. There doesn't seem to be a way for me to buy music without 99.999% of the money going to a label or a studio. Apart from bandcamp and other indie stores, but those typically aren't my jam in the first place. If I could support artists directly, I would. But I can't, and I refuse to support predatory labels, so I don't. I do feel a little bad about it, but options are limited.

Oh, and I will gleefully pirate textbooks, of course. Also research papers and most nonfiction in general. Audiobooks and fiction are a hard no unless unavailable or older than I am. Everyone should pirate textbooks always, it's only just.

So yeah, mostly for ideological reasons and the incomparable convenience.

Wait.

And as the interviews went on, they decided to not hire her and she's suing?

It must be amazing to realize oneself as so fabulous a colleague and fit and perfect at all skills that a company is obliged to hire someone.
That’s literally impossible.

You’re consciousness trapped in meat, everything you experience is an interpretation of your environment and entirely subject to that meat.

“The Republican Party exists” is an interpretation of each word, and is controversial on some axis. “2” is a concept, it literally does not exist outside of the mind.

This is to say: your desire for objectivity has failed, the best we can ever get are “well defined and explained rationalizations that many people agree with”.
"appears to have 2%" is doing a lot of work he. If the earlier comments are accurate, the government stats are based on Google Analytics data that is specifically blocked or obscured by Firefox.

That 2% kind be breached, but the data doesn't accurately represent usage if Firefix is blocking GA in any meaningful numbers.

Does google really have the right to block my control over what is shown or not shown on my computer? They may have the ability to do so, but that is not necessarily equivalent to a right.

For example, what if I had a robot that detected when an ad was being played on youtube, and automatically turned off my monitor and headphones momentarily, turning them back on once the ad was over. Would that violate google's "rights"?

> Mercury switch thermostats were infinitely more reliable than their successors and many are still working today 50 years later in older homes.

Oh come on dude. Those things are crap and if you somehow break it, you end up with mercury on the floor. I watched a mover do just this when I was a kid. They were too careless with the sofa and knocked the thermostat off the wall, breaking the mercury vial inside it. It was a stupid piece of crap that had an electromechanical timer that made a ton of noise anyway.

The electronic ones are incredibly simple. The one in my house is probably 30 years old and still works fine.
Quite likely true, which means we now have an excellent argument against the libertarian ideal of private property.

In practice, we can put constraints on, for example, the kind of business one can do with one's private property, and the constraints one is under while doing that business (equal service laws, ADA compliance, and you can even cap rents to leave room open for low-revenue business to keep operating).
It was really hard to do the first time. :) I'm honored to have been part of the first team to do any viable acoustic music recognition, in 2001 (much earlier than Shazam, a point of pride of course[0]).

You're dead on that it's pretty difficult if you don't benefit from others, we did a ton of work that in retrospect wasn't necessary. I liked the advanced psychoacoustic model, faithfully implemented in high performant C direct from Zwicker. (Psychoacoustics). To a first approximation, about 10/s model -> pca -> top 16 dim -> VQ and the resulting bytes contain more than 50% of the entropy (!!) Shove all of those in a home grown what-you-now-call-a vector DB, do dozens of range queries, and search for any song common to multiple results. Boom, music recognition. Understandable in retrospect but things like that aren't Everest they're like... multiple unclimbed mountains.

0. And far too early to have any applications. Company existed 2000-2001 \o/

Traffic to vs through a router; both UDP and ICMP probes to a given hop will both go to the control plane which can be rate limited or handled by a general purpose CPU.

Probes to hops beyond will virtually always go through the fast data plane.
Residential pellet stoves sound great but in practice they are not reliable (moving mechanical parts that operate at high temps, electronics poorly shielded from said temps—the manufacturers are pretty shady in my experience), and the cost of fuel varies quite a bit and can be very high. Compare to a wood stove that needs no electricity and can burn just about any combustible solid. Modern wood stoves are pretty efficient, too.
Another example for firmware manipulation: the Volkswagen emissions scandal (Dieselgate). Some firmware was changed, so that emissions were lower during emission tests.

That was a big scandal some eight years ago, who remembers?

Maybe firmware fudging is more frequent than one would assume...
>If you're crippling infrastructure then you are inherently then you're most certainly aiding adversaries. You cannot fight an adversary if you cannot get goods moved.

>If you're scamming the government out of money then you are inherently aiding adversaries. You cannot fight an adversary if you are penniless.

But if you apply this argument it quickly becomes a slippery slope. Running a fraud ring? You're depriving the security services of resources that could have been spent catching spies. Treason. Tax evasion? You're depriving the state of resources. Treason. Jaywalking? Believe it or not, treason. M̶a̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ profiteering as a government contractor?

3M always has the goal of 25% of revenue being from things they invented/started making in the last 5 years. They probably saw no future in making legacy items and sold it off...
Pretty sure it's way older than that. My YouTube ReVanced version is installed early March and it has this behaviour. I'm quite sure I've seen it also last year too.
It doesn’t run a background process on your computer 24/7 to ensure you’re up to date like Chrome. Weird objection; I prefer it this way.
Lowering revenue of things created more than 5 years ago helps with this goal.
In my very limited understanding, distribution is the key.

It’s legal for Apple to distribute Apple binaries. It is not legal for someone else to distribute Apple binaries.

Copying a binary from installer to app folder: not distribution

Putting the binary on a USB and giving it to your buddy: gray area, not worth prosecuting, but maybe technically distribution

Uploading the binary to a GitHub repo titled “Apple binaries here”: obviously distribution
Even if true, economics is only one part of the equation.

When society discusses sex work, there is more support for penalizing the traffickers than the workers. This is because morals are an important dimension besides just economics. Similarly, when talking about waste, there is more depth than just thinking about the economic impact.

Twitch's market share in Korea is very small. Domestic streaming services like Afreeca are the dominant player. If I had to guess, Twitch doesn't have enough users in Korea for a paywalled system to turn things profitable.
Its illegal to discriminate on terms like this though. Replace the word gene with demography and you can see why.
This could happen with certain body piercings. Those are not often anonymized, compared to DICOM tags and burned-in fields.
Afreeca is not associated with telcos.
