"PC" architectures stretched to include the territory.

I dunno what for example, you could configure as the maximum RAM x86 system you could put beside someone's desk; but I'll bet that (1) its substantial now, and (b) no other arch exits that can markedly outdo that number for less than 10x? 50x? the cost. it any exist at all.

I guess "minicomputer" would've meant "constant reliable I/O" to some users, and that's evolved into more special purpose and redundant systems too, but again all pretty much the same bases. I think.
and? minimum rent becomes the government stipend so you now live rent-free.

the cash you make at your otherwise crappy, barely-keep-the-lights-on minimum-wage job is now going to pay for other things.
Coffee machines usually don't boil the water. They heat it enough that there is some evaporation and the vapor pressure pushes the hot water through the drip mechanism. It is well below boiling, like maybe 170 or 180 F, and one of the complaints about cheap machines is that they don't get the water hot enough.

The issue of coffee tasting bad if kept hot too long is independent of the brewing method though. I generally make coffee manually (pour hot water over a drip cone) and it is an issue then too. I stopped using a thermal carafe because of it.
Error bars in forecasts can only mean uncertainty your model has. Without error bars over models, you can say nothing about how good your model is. Even with them, your hypermodel may be inadequate.
This gave me nostalgia for 2004.
I mean, I expect someone to make this a module for something than can be ran on your own computer with LLAMA (or whatever) in pretty short order.

The attention market cycle is wrapping up and at this rate AI/LLMs will further kill the market for grabbing your attention by filtering that crap out. Grab the signal, filter the noise.

Yuval Noah Harari is likely correct, the future isn't about attention, it's about intimacy.
For me it’s the absolute most important setting to enable on any TV. Without it I really notice the tearing / juddering effect that footage <40fps has.

Accept, don't expect. It is different to trust someone and to predict someone. You can for example "trust" a corporation to hunt for profit, or a criminal to be antisocial.

When you really trust someone rather than simply predict someone there is a special characteristic to what you are doing. Trust is both stricter and looser than prediction. You can trust someone to eventually learn from their mistakes but you can also trust that although they will make mistakes they won't drag you down with them.

Most of the people you consider friends are predictable and therefore safe. A friend who goes off script is quickly no longer safe and therefore no longer a friend. Family is not inherently safe but your trust model evolves as you share your trials.

Don't expect things from people you want to get closer to, but accept them when they defy your expectations.
DoorDash raises minimum pay to $29.93 per hour in NYC
Exactly. It's easy to presume one interpretation, but it's far from clear.
Claiming the ASCII ribbon campaign was racist is neither technically correct nor practically correct.

There weren't any machines that supported ASCII directly that late in the game. Instead, everything supported DOS code pages. Those are supersets of ASCII, and those supported localization. This was often called "ASCII", since that's pronounced with fewer syllables.

On top of that, by 1998, mainstream systems were starting to support UTF-8, and, as a superset of ASCII, it was treated like "just another" plain-text format / extended ASCII code page by software user interfaces of the time.

Practically speaking, the campaign was against sending HTML (or, god forbid, RTF) emails. That doesn't preclude localization at all.
So you are saying that not only these investors are buying property but they are spending even MORE to turn them into still more profitable property after several months or years of no income from these properties. If that's not a sign of demand far above offer, I don't know what is.
I use a password manager that supports passkeys so overall I don’t care.

However, I have two gripes with passkeys:
(1) the workflow for getting a passkey is all over the place; I wish it was more uniform, and
(2) diagnosability is crap. The QR-code-approve-on-your-phone workflow has never once worked for me (Brave on MacOS + iPhone)
You misconstrue Schneier's point, which is sadly, correct.

The issue is not "all AI will be controlled by...," it is "meaningfully scaled and applied AI will be deployed by..."

You can today use Blender and other OSS to render exquisite 4K or higher projection-ready animation, etc etc.; but that does not give you access to distribution or marketing or any of the other consolidated multi-modal resources of Disney.

The analogy is weak however in as much as the "synergies" in Schneier's assertion are much, much stronger. We already have ubiquitous surveillance. We already have stochastic mind control (sentiment steering, if you prefer) coupled to it.

What ML/AI and LLM do for an existing oligopoly is render its advantages largely unassailable. Whatever advances come in automated reasoning—at large scale-will naturally, inevitably, indeed necessarily (per fiduciary requirements wrt shareholder interest), be exerted to secure and grow monopoly powers.

In the model of contemporary American capitalism, that translates directly into "enhancing and consolidating regulatory capture," i.e. de facto "control" of governance via determination of public discourse and electability.

None of this is conspiracy theory, it's not just open-book but crowed and championed, not least in insider circles discussing AI and its applications, such as gather here. It's just not the public face of AI.

There is however indeed going to be a period of potential for black swan disequilibrium, however; private application of AI may give early movers advantage in domains that may destabilize the existing power landscape. Which isn't so much an argument against Schneier, as an extension of the risk surface.
New theory claims to unite Einstein's gravity with quantum mechanics
Good for you but they're niche features that most developers will never use. I certainly won't.

That's why I switched to NextJS anyway. Django's implementing features voted by the board and companies who fund the project the most. They don't care about end users anymore.
> Motion interpolation or motion smoothing increases the frames per second from 24fps to 60fps

It's pretty common for TVs to have even higher refresh rates these days - my 4 year old mid-range LG OLED is 120hz, for example. Conveniently, 24 evenly divides 120, so when you turn off the interpolation you get perfectly consistent frame times.

As a more general note, don't be afraid to experiment with the settings. If you're watching low-bitrate netflix streams, some of the artifact-reduction filters can be worthwhile, especially on the lower intensity settings.

For watching bluray remuxes however, "filmmaker mode" or equivalent settings is generally the way to go.

"This is not a significant factor that someone should be basing a diet on."

Yeah it is, if you aren't eating meat and aren't getting the required nutrients, despite eating foods rich in them, but aren't bioavailable leading to deficiency.

Claiming the efficiency of a fuel (food) isn't important is pretty silly.
All the implementations i've seen do both, you "HAVE" your phone, and you "ARE" yourself because touchid, faceid, passkey was used to unlock the key on the phone/bitwarden/whatever your using the passkey on, you still have to unlock the vault on the device you have to use the passkey

You have clearly gleaned some of the critique that I was trying to go for. So you can spare me the “actually”.

I am not terribly impressed by left-liberal technocrats. That’s the pet-peeve seedling whence my whole screed.
From what i've seen every passkey implementation requires the device + a password or touchid or faceid to actually unlock the passkey authenticator... thats 2 things... the device key vault + your face
Business decisions are difficult. If the result of everyone that didn't pan out was "you are fired", no one would take any risk, decisions would take forever.

It's so hard to fire people in France, that some large companies simply have a policy of "no france office".
Bitwarden won't let you back up your passkeys though.

That's a second, equally fundamental, problem with passkeys (and it is their entire reason for existing; the whole concept of passkeys is flawed).

I wonder if the open source re-implementation of the vault protocol can export / import passkeys.
A lot of this is actually caused by Google in benefiting observability of videos that are longer so they (google) can show more ads. You either get a 60 second short, or 10ish minutes. This leads content creators to stretch out their videos longer than they really should be.
I've been thinking about some kind of a model of the real estate market that would be able to explain past prices and estimate future prices based on several factors that change in time: current interest rates, expected future interest rates, disposable income, demographics, urbanization (people moving to cities), cost of building new houses, regulation, taxes.

Maybe something like this already exists...
Right now it uses GPT-4 API, ollama integration is in the roadmap and would then allow for a fully local and controlled deployment
The general hypothesis is that increases in the count of modalities used and intensity of use within each modality for a task is, by definition, an increased engagement, more completely triggering the adaptive mechanisms such as memory and providing a more pervasive context into which the learning can be woven.

No, the UK was in NATO, and if it didn't develop its own nuclear weapons in could have easily convinced the Americans to give them nukes for deterrence purposes, as the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy etc. did.

The real reason is that the UK (and France) wanted and still want a seat an the big boy's table. I.e. the UN security council etc.

There is plenty of debate and compromise about climate change in China, it just happens behind closed doors. This includes basically all the same questions in the US: Is it real, how bad will it be, what is the acceptable cost for mitigation, how much mitigation is worth it. Stance and strategy on all of these things can and do change in China.

Furthermore, this is a public discussion about climate change in China. The Chinese public ranks climate change as higher priority than in the US. There are several reasons for this, not all of which are top down propaganda. For example, the Chinese population has more recent, immediate, and extreme experience with the negative impacts of environmental disruption.

2 years is still not very long for large enterprises, they'll be conservative on the uptake - 3-6 months after it gets released, so they only have maybe 12-18 months before they're planning the next upgrade. It's better than vanilla kube, but compare that to RHEL where you get 10 years of maintenance, and can often extend that even further.
> I disagree that "show" being too broad is relevant.

I believe it’s relevant if you want to convince others of your point. I have the feeling people will generally prefer a more precise and clear term (even if it is slightly wrong in the grand scheme of objectivity) than an overly broad one.

And if enough people use a “wrong” term for long enough, then it becomes correct by being added to the language (see “literally”).

> I can say, "it's not a podcast" the same as I can say, "it's not a goose".

Correct. But you also said (twice) “call it what it is”, so I think it was a reasonable expectation that you’d have an idea of what to call it. At the very least, by providing a fitting name you could get more people to agree to your point.
They are related in that it is combining solar power + water storage.

I believe the canal structure is elevated. Which might be initially more expensive for the scaffolding, but it strikes me as fewer long term complications vs direct water contact. Fewer worries about algae growth on the panels, shorts developing at the connection points, etc.
Netanyahhu is student or professor at elite US university? There are jewish students marching with Israeli flags chanting "from the river to the sea Isreal will be free" on campuses? Would equivalent behavior be allowed toward any other group on campus?
This article states clearly the case for Passkeys: passwords are vulnerable to phishing attacks. Phishing attacks are effective, anti-phishing training doesn't work (even for technically savvy users), and hardware tokens are too cumbersome; meanwhile, people already have a capable second factor device they carry around, and it's silly not to use it.

I don't know how much HTML email really has to do with phishing (successful phishing attacks are multimodal and tend to exploit browser chrome as much as anything else), but regardless: it isn't going anywhere, and even if it were the primary cause of phishing, the engineering failure would still be in the authentication system, not in the email presentation system; being able to control a layout on a screen simply shouldn't result in account takeover.

Passwords are obsolete.

A few of those in series, with a regenerator stage after each one, would work.

It's hard to find non-IC delay lines today. "Analog" delay lines in guitar pedals now use a charge-coupled bucket brigade IC. They're analog in amplitude, but discrete in time. I was expecting that someone would still be manufacturing some kind of acoustic delay line product, but there's not much out there.

The EDSAC rebuild people built a delay line memory.[1] Not too complicated, but a pain to get it to work.

You need a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive transducer driving a metal rod, with a receiving sensor at the other end.
Liquid level sensors which work that way are common. A metal rod dips into the liquid, and a transducer at the top sends a ping down the rod. The impedance change where the rod enters the liquid causes a reflection, which is sensed by the transducer that sent the pulse. Converting one of those into a delay line might be possible.

You need some length. The speed of sound in steel is around 5,000 meters per second, so you'll need 5 meters for a millisecond delay. This can be a coil; it doesn't have to be straight. A longer delay line can store more bits, but the cycle time is slower.

These things are temperature sensitive, so they either have to be self-clocking or temperature controlled.

Not saying that companies shouldn't pay for extended support, but many other open source software have LTS releases with multi-year support (e.g. Ubuntu/Debian 5 years for LTS releases, and Node.js for 2.5 years.)

Additionally, I think one of the major reason for LTS is that K8s (and related software) regularly introduces breaking changes. Out of all the software that we use at work, K8s probably takes the most development time to upgrade.

Air-gapping the machine running a web browser from the machine that stores your passwords seems completely reasonable to me.

So to be fair in some areas, the majority of voters are renters. BUT most of these don't vote (they do whine). The rest vote. Of those who vote, plenty are NIMBY - they have theirs and they don't want any change to their neighborhood. So that yeah, we are screwed (except that the voters actually ARE getting what they want. Just that what they want is messed up.)

That's an unfair assessment.

Harvard et al also launder reputations, incubate reactionary movements, serve as a finishing school for the rich and powerful, stoke credentialing (eg grade inflation), and accelerate social inequity. For starters.
One suggestion - it would be really cool to allow FFI. Something like

That way you could really leverage the full power of HTML, the programming language!

I meant your comments opening statement. That reply did not clarify at all. At a minimum there is a major disconnect in what the comment tried to convey vs how people perceive it. Now that’s two comments like that.
From the linked report:

> The size of the nuclear decommissioning liability reflects the expected future costs in relation to decommissioning activity, spanning over 100 years. This means actual annual expenditure is much lower than the total liability as noted earlier in this chapter.

So it's a cost over 100 years.
The easiest way is to load the whole OS into RAM and run it from there, while having no SWAP at all. Which is absolutely possible with unbloated distros, especially with current hardware, but even 8GB are sufficient, only 4GB begins to feel uncomfortable if there are more than a few applications open. OTOH 'the browser' is the application, and 4GB are still sufficient for about 40 tabs, so...

shrug?
If they keep running losses, every employee loses their jobs. The company is losing money.
I think you could send all of that to GPT4 and ask it to read it and provide you with a step by step instruction : recipie and it would do so easily.

I didn’t see how that print out would be super useful, it’s not the complete step by step is it?
It’s interesting to think how different our visual systems must be right? I’m always saying to friends “how can you watch this? It’s so choppy!” And some of them agree and others don’t see it at all.

OpenSSL isn't necessarily the best at LTS, but 1.0.1 released a series of changes to how they handled ephemeral diffie hellman generation, which could be hooked in earlier releases, but not in later releases.

For the things I was doing on the hooks, it became clear that I needed to make changes and get them added upstream, rather than doing it in hooks, but that meant we were running OpenSSL with local patches in the interim of upstream accepting and releasing my changes. If you're not willing to run a locally patched security critical dependency, it puts you between a rock and a hard place.
Well, if recursion is a species of iteration;
then recursion and iteration are not the same thing.

An iterative process can be recursive or not.
> People (in any relevant number) don't run their own e-mail servers

I have to strongly disagree -- most people get emails from others running their own email services. This doesn't mean the average consumer is running an email server. However, if email was just served by mega-corporations, well, it really wouldn't be email anymore.

And I'm not talking about spam. Legitimate email people want to get, is being constantly sent by small, independent organizations with their own email servers.

One can hope for a similar possible future with LLMs. Consumers won't necessarily be the ones in charge of operating them -- but it would be very, very good if LLMs were able to be easily operated by small, independent organizations, hobbyists, etc.
One thing that concerns me so far is that nothing put out by Mojo or said by any of the Modular leaders indicates that the language itself will ever be open sourced. The Mojo FAQ says:

"Over time we expect to open-source core parts of Mojo, such as the standard library."

In the most recent keynote, Chris Latner said the standard library will be open-sourced starting next year. I have never seen anything about the actual rest of the language. I worry that they don't actually plan to open-source all the core parts of Mojo and they're just letting others put words in their mouth to hype up the language.

Sports are already shot at 60 fps. Same for any live TV events. It makes movies look terrible, like it was shot on video, to me and many others. Soap Opera effect. But for things that were shot live on video, it looks like what it is.

For the high frame rate version of The Hobbit that I saw, in my opinion it looked bad for character shots but cool for overhead action views.
