I think the issue with ReactOS is that it has to compete with similar (but possibly lesser or greater depending on use-case) solutions on 2 fronts:

1) Plain old virtual machines

2) Linux/Mac running Wine/Proton

3) Linux running equivalent software but skinned with a Windows-like UI
Even if wages did catch up, retired folks are permanently disadvantaged. There’s a reason why the Fed targets a low inflation rate by default than letting it float freely.

The MOE models are essentially trained as a single model. Its not 7 independent models, individually (AFAIK) they are all totally useless without each other.

Its just that each bit picks up different "parts" of the training more strongly, which can be selectively picked at runtime. This is actually kinda analogous to animals, which dont fire every single neuron so frequently like monolithic models do.

The tradeoff, at equivalent quality, is essentially increased VRAM usage for faster, more splittable inference and training, though the exact balance of this tradeoff is an excellent question.

Beeper would have interested me, maybe in 6 months if it had seemed like Apple was willing to live with it. I don't want to use iMessage though, I just want to use it more than SMS or RCS. I have gotten a few of my close contacts on Signal. The whole landscape is completely chaotic. All I really want is to be able to send and receive e2ee messages with everyone else who has an extremely capable computer in their pocket.
The AI was taught to identify trauma by repeated exposure to and digestion of digital video images of helmets from all angles

Agree with the other comments saying that no experience is ever a waste. Even if you never work another day as a software engineer, that skill set and way of tackling problems will remain useful in anything you do.

One thing I'd say about finding a side project is: think about what motivates you about the work. The most fun I've had on a side-project recently was just coding a google spreadsheet macro for something that my friends and I have to do semi-regularly. Knowing who the audience for the thing was and how they would benefit from it greatly helped my motivation.

But maybe you get more motivated by solving truly difficult challenges. In that case I'm sure there are some OSS projects out there eager for contributors. It's really down to what gets you fired up.
You're worried mold is going to grow in the 5 minutes between grinding and brewing?

Which imo is true
> You say groupthink bubble, I say place where I don't have to brace as much for racist or sexist views being expressed.

Creating a space where you don't have to face the fact that your fellow humans are sexist or racist is the very definition of a bubble.
> Anyway the comment I was replying to was implying that Beeper is the adversary which is not a correct use of the term.

You can't have a single-party adversarial system. Each party is an adversary of the other: party A wants to interop against the wishes of party B, and party B wants to lock party A out. OP wasn't implying that Beeper is "the" adversary and Apple is in the clear, OP was just saying that trying to build a business around adversarial interoperability is extremely difficult and the outcome is unsurprising.

Noting that the results are unsurprising does not imply that we condone the system that makes such results nearly inevitable.
IMO this is the defining characteristic of software development. It's why I love it, and why the processes that support doing it well are different from other types of projects.

I also think other disciplines will inevitably move more in this direction. Once things can be accurately modeled and tested with computers, the iteration cycle becomes similar. You do have to eventually build the "machine", but I think that will become more and more automated, sortof like a compiler.
There are arguments like this everywhere on the web, you can find them anywhere, and it's not really what I was asking about.

Culture 2.0 invokes meaningful change and collaboration on a scale never seen before. Protocols are faster, more robust, efficient by up to 35% versus previous generations. It’s the fastest we’ve ever produced and we didn’t stop there. We went deep to heart of the product to enhance even the most subtle of inefficiencies, rearchitecting the core from the ground up…

Reducing cars in large cities would be a good idea but a more basic thing is just to enforce pedestrian safety standards on vehicles. Eg. If you hit someone with a car they need to go over the hood instead of just being smashed by the front and drivers need to have sufficient visibility of pedestrians.

The fibonacci hashing mentioned here looks to be just Kronecker low-discrepancy sequences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-discrepancy_sequence#Addit... which is used for dithering too (see eg https://extremelearning.com.au/unreasonable-effectiveness-of...). It's quite likely already what Spotify were obliquely referring to. But I think the author missed a trick: tracks by an artist occur close together if your collection is already arranged by artist/album. Picking tracks far apart from the globally sorted list is what this sequence will do, and do you don't need to do anything at all to split by artist/album/category etc:

1. for the Kth track in a sorted collection of N with seed S in [0,1), pick track number floor(N((K(phi-1)+S)%1)).

2. There is no step 2.

Since Spotify suggest their algorithm is only a couple of lines, I'd guess this is what they did.

edited to add: the above would get pretty boring because songs would always follow one another in sequence, no matter what the seed was. But since the chance of picking an irrational number at random in a real interval is a near certainty (because rationals are countable and reals are uncountable) you can just pick any new random number as the stepsize in the sequence when you start to shuffle play and it should be good enough; picking in [.25, .75) avoids steps that take you back too close to the same artist.
If everyone pirated music, musicians would make all their income from merch and touring and it's not clear that they'd be worse off.
At least regarding homebrew PlayStation games, for me that was a very valuable grey area space on the PSP and then PSVita, since back then there weren't many other kid-friendly options for similar portable computers (this being relevant because as an adult I am not dependent on convincing someone else to buy me things).

Nowadays smartphones are so much more capable and so much more accessible to kids, plus you can even get literal handheld PCs like the Steam Deck, so homebrew is a lot less worthwhile in my opinion (except for just the sake of hacking, since consoles at least tended to have very interesting security/DRM arrangements).
It's also relatively easy to write this legislation. If you:

- sold licenses that are no longer usable to access the work (i.e. if you invalidate by any means already sold licenses)

- don't put work in the public domain/don't make it freely usable without a license when the copyright expires

then you lose the protection of copyright & associated (DRM/reverse engineering) laws for said works. Multiple violations can extend that to "all your works".
I've managed quite a few, but typically you would want your "trusted" hosts on a separate VLAN or subnet from untrusted ones. It's probably fine to leave DHCP DNS Dynamic Updates turned on as long as it's not updating a DNS server with control over any trusted domains.

As you say, a host could spoof a MAC and get a reserved assignment, but only if the real host with that MAC is down. Again, isolating the security perimeters is the answer.
Note that there is no support for Windows (only WSL).
Not natively. WSL only.

Does it matter whether you finish it?

The last 20% of the project is usually spent towards refining, cleaning up and addressing edge cases whereas the initial 80% is the actual fun problem solving/creativity part. So it’s natural not to finish
Very interesting theory about GDB being CEO. I thought it was more of a gratitude tour
This sounds pretty amazing.

For CPNG-aware libraries, the performance improvements sound impressive.

For old (CPNG-unaware) libraries: should I expect any performance drop reading a CPNG image compared to if the image had remained PNG? Similarly, how much larger will a CPNG be than a PNG?

Sewage Garlic Grown in Communist China Has No Place in American Grocery Stores
That's a feature, not a bug. When things get bad; the "elite arsewholes" run away and hide; and real people then have the freedom of action necessary to correct the situation.

Then the elites come back and fork things over again.

The current list of "If the next election goes wrong, I'm leaving the country" announcements stretches how long? Bonus points for those who've made similar promises in the past.

No, it absolutely is not. It seems like you don't have a good understanding of how actual E2EE systems work.
Paying does not equal buying. If I lease a car, you can still steal it. If I rent a car, you can steal it.

If I subscribe to a daily newspaper, you can steal it off my driveway in which case you steal from me and not the publisher because I never owned the content. If you sell my newspaper then you've stolen from the publisher even though I paid the publisher for that printed copy.

It's really not that hard. Original pirates could steal from dozens of merchants, share holders, and sailors in various ways and degrees, monies paid to monies earned, to monies owed, to monies potentially gained, by seizing the cargo of one vessel.
Who specifically has a market on which industry?
TikTok is a Chinese product, and therefore inseparable from the Communist Party. This may also be a factor. It's the safest (read: more moderated and controlled) large social media platform. Why? It may seem valuable to cause havoc in the US electorate at a critical time, splitting the age groups and driving a wedge hard.

For the terminally-online students this issue has almost become a litmus test - "If you are pro-Israel, you are not one of us. They say so on TikTok."

This is a very good example of how social media completely takes over and leads the herd blindly in one direction, either through manipulation, or through just natural hype and bandwagon effect.

In the past we had a few friends who would subject us to peer pressure and convince us to do stupid shit.

Now these kids are in global peer pressure groups of millions.
This is really cool, Good luck!
Well, rubberhose cryptanalysis isn't cryptanalysis. Once you start discussing it, you're not discussing cryptography anymore. There's no cryptosystem that can protect you from it.

You don't mention which country and thus which government. Some US government sites do accept WebAuthn, and for at least some UK sites it's possible via a third party.

Banks though, yeah they aren't good at this stuff. My safe† bank decided one day to completely up-end how logins work and almost locked me out. My good bank provide a very stupid, proprietary solution but at least it's an actual secure solution.

† Safe in that they're owned by the government, so, if they go bankrupt I have worse problems because now I live in a failed state. Big piles money of money sit in this bank because it's safe, but it's run by clowns who don't understand customer service.

Your calculation tells that you are safer as a migrant worker in Qatar than as a young person in US. What is your learnings from this? Pick one.

> Funny, considering people said the same thing about OpenAI and look who is eating FAANGs lunch now when it comes to AI?

Precisely how is OpenAI eating anyone's lunch? This is a serious question. Is OpenAI fantastically profitable? Does it have a proprietary moat that changes its margins in a way that no other competitor can overcome? Does it benefit from network effects that lead to a natural monopoly?

From my mole's eye view I see a raft of "use AI on task X" applications that are incremental improvements on the underlying products, not game-changing products themselves. I also see insane equity valuations, which look more like Gilded Age railroad speculation than actual proof it's different this time. [0]

Oh cool, something that wasn't a problem in the past now has a solution that can be bought through a variety of products and services.

I don't know what's going to stop this machine. The machine craves GDP and profits. The machine needs problems like "boys struggling" in order to create products and services to reap those profits. The machine owns megaphones that broadcast its solutions: buy this product, buy that service.

We need to stop this machine.

Can you guys maybe turn down the volume on those megaphones and look inward? Instead of looking outward - coaches, counseling, this, that, maybe you need to seriously recalibrate your culture, because we're increasingly productizing solutions to problems that weren't problems in the past, and we're going broke, and our kids are suffering.

What are some familial-cultural things you think we could do differently that would help us help boys while not having to spend thousands per month just to give our sons the privilege of a normal life?

Remember, these issues simply were not issues in the past. Is there something from the past that we lost along the way that causes these issues? Can we bring that thing back? Similarly, what modern things did we introduce that could be causing these issues? If so, let's focus on removing that, the via negativa.

Perhaps what these people call disorganization and distraction is in fact a good thing, and boys are not meant to fit into the square pegs you're carved out? Let them go out into the desert and explore. They can't find and bring back treasure to enrich the tribe if they're stuck in a chair listening to you ramble for 8 hours straight. The problem could be you, not the boys.
As many are now informing you, yes, it is normal, as is PNG-ing spies whose diplomatic cover is blown.

It's so normal that the term "diplomatic cover" exists to describe non-clandestine spies who are given a position in their country's embassy.

More commonly, local intelligence agencies try to identify and follow the spying activity of spies with diplomatic cover, rather than PNG-ing them (or more rarely, as in this case, outing them) because that's easier than the unknown quantity that would replace them.

Well, the Japanese military was so evil, that the nazis literally had to tell them to chill out. Every civilian death is a tragedy, but as with most wars, the longer it goes on, the more casualties it will take. Sometimes people simply have to make the least evil decision, as the alternative is just worse.
The surprising thing, tho, is that even if you win the lottery, so that you end up not really having to do anything, you'll still find out that "work" is a requirement for a fulfilling life.

This quote seems like it can't possibly be true—is it? One would imagine that even if you avoided kissing anyone your entire life, you'd still get cavities.

> Babies have no existing mouth bacteria, and get theirs from their parents’ kisses. Not necessarily their first kiss as a newborn (newborns have no teeth, and BCS3-L1 needs teeth to live), but their first kiss after teeth grow in. If you get this, you’re probably getting it for your whole future family line.

I'm probably misreading your argument, because it seems inconsistent to me. You are saying that piracy is immoral because it causes harm; and that it causes harm because in some cases the downloaded would have purchased the downloaded media if not for piracy.

I'm very confident that in the majority of cases, people who download stuff would not have bought it at any price that the publisher would accept, if piracy wasn't an option. Which means that by the definition of harm I think you are using, the majority of cases would not be immoral. It seems to me the immoral cases would be the exception.

I guess it makes more sense if you also say that consuming something without paying for it is immoral even if you would never have paid to consume it. I find it hard to agree with that though, as I don't see who's harmed.
I think that a world where that comment holds up to scrutiny would be very different to the one we've got.

I agree with your sentiment, but I would add two caveats:
1) Its not obvious, and hard to predict, when something one enjoys would actually make an satisfying career. Many find that turning passions into means-to-put-food-on-the-table kills the passion, or warps it.
2) Its not obvious, and hard to predict, how the mental and physical health hit will be from a "financially challenging life". Some are fine scraping by, but on average, being financially insecure is highly correlated with depression, suicide, anxiety, substance abuse issues, divorce, etc etc.

All that to say, its good to be as realistic as possible with children, and as another suggested not only focus on high time frame decisions, and as you suggested avoid casting things as merely financial decisions.
