The only way I could see this happening is if they have all of the public keys of the secure cryptographic elements in a database of all Apple devices ever created. Because otherwise, it would just be trivial to emulate a "secure cryptographic element" if it's just a public/private key.

They aren't running a client by Apple. A glance at other posts seems they are using Apple code, but that would just be a matter of reverse engineering if the code required the secure enclave.

I can't think of a way that a server would be able to prove a device is Apple or not if you were to replicate the protocol completely. Only if there was some established public/private key would this be possible. And then the private key on the device would be in a secure enclave that you could feed it data to sign to prove the device is an authorized device.
I don't think that term has been appropriate for a long time... Wikipedia seems to indicate similarly.

I saw someone on Rocket League use that term as an insult. When I said it was a slur, they said it just meant "stupid", heh. No, buddy... there's a lot more to it than that.
Yes, it does. The word "theory" has a specific meaning. What this article is about is really a hypothesis, not a theory. I saw no evidence or data to back up what they think might be happening, thus not a theory.

"In scientific reasoning, a hypothesis is constructed before any applicable research has been done. A theory, on the other hand, is supported by evidence: it's a principle formed as an attempt to explain things that have already been substantiated by data."

Most people in this thread, as well as the writers of the article seem to be confused about the meaning of the word theory.

Have you considered RGB modding some of those coax only tvs? If they have RGB mods available you can get the best picture quality possible out of them. Also where you located? My marketplace in NY has loads of people trying to give their tvs away for free or super cheap. These things are heavy. I guess the smaller sets tend to command some cash (and some famous tiny models go for a lot). Possibly try expanding your search radius if you are willing to drive.

>> because it was so difficult everyone, vendor and customer alike, moved towards SaaS hosted offerings

I actually remember why one company I worked for moved from on-premise to SaaS. They told us that the market valued recurring software revenue at a higher multiple than it did one-time software revenue.

On-prem was a large one-time sale and a small recurring support contract. SaaS was almost all recurring revenue.

On the customer side, it is capital expenses vs. operating expenses.

I never get this retro gaming stuff. If I really want to play an old game from my childhood I use an emulator that probably has some neat features that make the experience better then it was back in the day and I do not need to buy any overpriced hardware. All the "modular" shit sounds like just a artificial sales tactic. Why not just build it with all the 90% of the possible ports needed or something that makes sense and sell some adapter for the rest rare 10% like 3 different slots for shit seems just overkill and just an excuse to sell more expensive stuff for "enthusiasts" who want to get everything possible.

> With that data, you can extract “ground truth” by looking at the draft picks made by the best players on the service (sorted by win rate).

Do you mean that you are looking at the draft picks from https://www.17lands.com/leaderboard and then sorting by Win Rate? Didn't you mean to choose Match Wins or Trophies? Otherwise, you're not measuring the best players on the service. You're training on draft choices where most choices were very good - i.e., win rate sort will show you the luckiest players, not the best ones. That will naturally show up in any validation or testing you do too.

Shouldn't this be compared not to an LLM baseline, but to a baseline where an "Elo" style score is computed for each card compared to others from the 17lands data; then, until you have two colors, suggest the best scoring card, or when you do have color(s), suggest the best scoring card within that color or a land?

I think it is possible for the LLM to have some semblance of rules knowledge, but it is more likely that it is picking up on card rarity, costs and "Big" more than anything else for unseen cards.

Your "accuracy" on the draft seems poor. I'm not sure it means what you think it means. Are you saying that when looking at the high win rate choices, where all the choices were mostly good, you happened to pick the choice that isn't the same as the player who originated the data? It actually seems harder to make a choice among all good choices.

Anyway, there is quite a bit going on here.

That's not the default behavior. Mastodon has 3 built-in timelines:

- Your "home" TL with people you follow, and the stuff they post/repost/etc.

- The "local" TL with the users on your server.

- The "federated" TL that's the union of all the people that users on your server follow. Like if you and I are the only 2 people on that instance, and you follow {A, B, C}, and I follow {B, C, D}, then the federated TL will have posts from {A, B, C, D}.

That's it. There's no proactive reaching out and pulling in content from the rest of the fediverse. The one other possibility would be if you configured your instance to use a "relay" of content from other instances you wouldn't normally connect to, which is something optional you have to add.

Recharge speed is there already. 20 mins is enough to get 2 - 3 hours worth of driving. We just need more of these fast chargers rather than lots of slow ones.

Considering I charge at home I actually save time overall vs filling up my old diesel in daily driving so stopping every 2 - 3 hours is fine for occasional long trips. Also I spend about 1/5th per mile too.

Most people coming from an ICE get hung up on the range however. They think they need something that does what they have already.
I guarantee that you will. That is a nightmare that you can not choose to avoid unless you are willing to sacrifice your social life.

Remember how raising awareness about smartphones, always on microphones, closed source communication services/apps worked? I do not.

I run an Android (Google free) smartphone with a custom ROM, only use free software apps on it.

How does it help when I am surrounded by people using these kind of technologies (privacy violating ones)? I does not. How will it help when everyone will have his/her personal assistant (robot, drone, smart wearable, smart-thing, whatever) and you (and I) won't? It will not.

None of my friends, family, colleagues (even the security/privacy aware engineers) bother. Some of them because they do not have the technical knowledge to do so, most of them because they do not want to sacrifice any bit of convenience/comfort (and maybe rightfully so, I am not judging them - life is short, I do get that people do not want to waste precious time maintaining arcane infra, devices, config,... themselves).

I am a privacy and free software advocate and an engineer; whenever I can (and when there is a tiny bit of will on their side or when I have lever), I try to get people off surveillance/ad-backed companies services.

It rarely works or lasts. Sometimes it does though so it is worth (to me) keep on trying.

It generally works or lasts when I have lever: I manage various sports team, only share schedules etc via Signal ; family wants to get pictures from me, I will only share the link (to my Nextcloud instance) or photos themselves via Signal, etc.

Sometimes it sticks with people because it's close enough to whatsapp/messenger/whatever if most (all) of their contacts are their. But as soon as you have that one person that will not or can not install Signal, alternatives groups get created on whatsapp/messenger/whatever.

Overcoming the network effect is tremendously hard to borderline impossible.

Believing that you can escape it is a fallacy. It does not mean that is not worth fight for our rights, but believing that you can escape it altogether (without becoming and hermit) would be setting, I believe, an unachievable goal (with all the psychological impact that it can/will have).

IMO this is wrong, but it's hard to know precisely how wrong, just that people shouldn't be setting their expectations this low. There are tons of college kids entering in from the front of the pipeline who don't have connections or experience. Also I've just known a good number of non-traditional candidates who both have and haven't broken into the industry.

>who's even more under the gun for the same stuff themselves

Are they, though? Google allows alternative app stores on Android, they already implement an interoperable, open standard in their primary texting app (RCS), they allow alternative browsers on the Play store itself, and they don't block interoperability with other platforms the way Apple does.

That's not to say they're not under the gun, but what they're under the gun for is different, like bribing Epic and others to not move to their own app store or make a self-updating app downloadable from their website.

They're both monopolistic asshole companies, don't get me wrong, but they're using fairly different strategies.
The answer I am going to give you starts with the idea that we live in a patriarchy, where men are programmed with a subconscious bias about women. If you can't entertain that idea then you will disagree with everything I say afterwards, but just hear me out for the sake of argument.

This unconscious bias is mostly invisible to men, but very visible to women. Women realize acutely that they are being treated differently in social interactions or in portrayals in fiction. They have to experience it every single day so it becomes really obvious.

Now some examples of "Bad Writing" could be creating a Mary Sue, or having too much exposition. Neither of these have anything to do with gender.

"Bad Male Writing" would be a phenomenon that comes about as a result of subconscious bias that a man learns from growing up in a patriarchical society. Some examples of "Bad Male Writing" would be not characterizing women enough, spending a lot of time on their appearances, etc.

It sounds like what tipped OP off to the author being male was the irrationality of one of the female characters. To steal from another comment in this thread:

> I am blaming the author for producing a work that is just shallow in a gendered feeling way. Were the author a woman, they might have realized that women don't just do things randomly but instead, drawing on her past experience being a woman, that they usually have a backstory where these things originate from.

> How does gender add anything here?

It adds something to the analysis because men and women have different experiences and that informs their worldview.

The whole internet meme of men thinking about the roman empire is relevant here.

When men think about the Roman empire they think about the conquest, the logistics, the infrastructure, the engineering, the military tactics, etc.

When women think about the Roman empire they usually think about how horrible it must have been to live under it as a woman. Men (mostly) don't consider the difficulty of menstruation in a city without a sewer system. Or the danger of childbirth in a world without germ theory and basic hygiene.

There is an entire dimension to the roman empire that the male fantasy overlooks.

These aren't insane or radical concepts, most of this is "pop culture" feminism I have learned literally just by talking to women.
I don't support this idea, but a percentage-based tax may actually cause the opposite effect (from what you describe as your goal). A flat tax (fixed number of dollars) is more likely to achieve your aims, and has actually been implemented with that result in the past. The example that comes to mind for me is the United Kingdom's flat tax on French wine (a long time ago).
Looks like it's this?

I agree it probably won't happen (it's after all not the first time the UK government has tried similar nonsense).

But e.g. the EU settlement scheme offered two options for me to scan my passport: Use a phone with NFC, or go to a government center to have it scanned there.

There's nothing fundamentally preventing them from offering a similar set of options for this nonsense where the fallback for anyone who hasn't got a smartphone would be to go to a government center and tell some government official that they want to be authorized to watch porn (though given the current government, more likely it'd be outsourced without proper tender to a company run by the friends of a government minister).

I'm going to predict that 1) a contract will be negotiated with someone with political connections, 2) the scheme will be silently scrapped after significant cost overruns and failing to produce a viable solution.
I mean sure, if that's your style. Personally I carry a universal remote for when I'm doing this.

Ahh no just unclear in the post, I'm filtering to players in 17lands with a > 62% match win rate who are drafting at a high ranking (>=diamond rank). I look at all of those players' drafts though, even the ones where they do poorly.

> Your "accuracy" on the draft seems poor. I'm not sure it means what you think it means. Are you saying that when looking at the high win rate choices, where all the choices were mostly good, you happened to pick the choice that isn't the same as the player who originated the data?

Accuracy here is making the same choice from a given pack as one of the good players. Obviously subjective so not a perfect metric, but a decent check on ability to emulate a high-quality drafter.

Without Mistral, how would you get it to generalize to cards it hasn't seen before? I assume by "training a NN to draft without Mistral" you mean where the input layer is just a bitmapped vector of the cards in the pack, right? The killer feature of this experiment is that it works on sets the model has never seen before and has 0 training data on, using just the text of the card. I don't think you can do that without an LLM.

Very charitable. The "expiry date" was set to the next servicing date and there was no way for competition to fix this hardcoded date and this was not documented in the official documents. Clearly a way to force buyers to use the "official" service.
