It is a simple concept, but I'm calling it "advanced" in the sense that people don't really do stuff like that except in the higher ranks of ranked play, because its effectiveness depends on your opponent actually being aware that they "should" be pushing a button in a certain situation.

In lower ranks, people are more concerned with the other strategic aspects of the game; there is a lot of stuff going on all at the same time.

> It still baffles me that traditional 2D fighting games and Tekken in particular are so complex and that it is so hard to even pull off a specific move due to control schemes that are maximally unergonomic.

The mechanical difficulty of certain actions is a deliberate design choice. The game tests not only your strategic decision making, but also your ability to execute difficult inputs, both under pressure, all at once.
Just yesterday I watched a talk [0] at WarsawJS about LavaMoat [1], a set of tools to protect against malicious behaviour from npm dependencies. Guess it’s time to look into it deeper.

Because it is a recall, and your suggested headline would be misleading.

Tesla routinely pushes software updates. This one, however, is different. It’s the result of a multi-year NHTSA investigation, and it’s legally a recall.

The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act gives NHTSA the authority to require manufacturers to recall vehicles that have safety-related defects. Just because this recall is being addressed through an OTA software update doesn’t make it not a recall.
No, I have not considered ILGPU, it’s the first time I see that thing. Very interesting, but I’m not sure I would have used it for that project.

In my experience, using any non-native GPU API is asking for troubles. On Windows, the native ones are D3D 11 and 12, on Linux and Android it’s often Vulkan, and on MacOS it’s either Metal or that newer thing they have built specifically for AI. It seems ILGPU only has backends for CUDA, OpenCL, and CPU SIMD.

I have general suspicion towards custom compilers. Writing a good compiler is hard, for GPUs even harder due to the weird execution model and insufficient documentation from GPU vendors. HLSL compiler is supported by Microsoft, and compute shaders are used by many millions of gamers every day. Similarly, CUDA is supported by nVidia, usually pretty stable, my only issue with CUDA is vendor lock-in. I have an impression people are often unhappy with the quality and hardware compatibility of less popular GPU APIs like ROCm and OpenCL.

BTW, I asked a friend to test my program on their low-and laptop. The laptop has some Intel core i3 with integrated GPU. The performance wasn’t great at about 1 token/second (single-channel memory), but at least my code worked. I’m not sure it would have worked on that computer if the backend was based on OpenCL.

Doesn't it require $100 a year to compile an app and install it on your own phone (because even hobby apps require signing)? I can't fathom why so-called "hackers" put up with this. I suspect because $
The question isn't whether this is possible in practice or not. It's that the laws of physics are defined as differential equations of a state (think e.g. Newton's laws) so they should be "the same" forwards and backwards in time.
I mean we haven’t reconciled quantum & GR yet but we still use quantum for quantum scale things and GR for larger scale distances just fine. It’s not impossible to have a separate model for within the singularity that only applies within the singularity without having to unify it with GR. As long as there are falsifiable claims being made within the context of the new theory that can be tested somehow, that’s all that matters.
By the way, is the FCC's decision likely to improve rural access in the future or not (without Starlink)? Perhaps not, as the past has demonstrated. But with Starlink they will have better access anyway. So Starlink is a victim of its own success? And the FCC has acted in the best interests of the nation by saving 900 million taxpayer dollars, while rural access will still improve? What an irony!
To add to it - the frame meter in SF6 training mode is an equivalent of the cards presented in the article, but built into the game.
Not surprisingly, popular ideas about life in North Korea are simplistic and exaggerated. I'll just make a few comments based on casual study while living in South Korea.

First, popular support for the regime is much greater than Westerners typically realize. My wild guess is that at least a third are true believers and much less than that would consider lifting a finger toward regime change. When characterizing North Korea, it is more accurate to call it a brutal society rather than a brutal regime.

Second, a large contributor to this situation is the demographic outcome of the civil war and population management afterwards. During the war, massive numbers of anti-communists were killed or migrated south, and massive numbers of pro-communists were killed or went north. On top of this segregation, the Northern regime established residence zones such that populations were relocated according to their perceived loyalty.

Third, due partly to the relocations, the northern part of the country has the population with the least love for the regime. They also have the greatest opportunity to escape, being close the China. It is often noted that North Korean refugees in China and South Korea have accents from this region. When these refugees tell interviewers that they would like to return home but can't, my interpretation is that they miss their hometowns, but fear punishment by the regime.
The value of a dollar is arbitrary so having it slightly change over time works just fine, I don't really understand what you think would be the issue there.

Also, to be clear, the inflation target is not 2% because the Fed just like prices going up, I've always been told they target 2% because it gives them a bit more wiggle room with interest rates (higher inflation means higher interest rates) in case of a recession.

Indeed, although I would add to clarify that it's not about "digital detoxing" or something for increased productivity, but rather more philosophical, more of a discourse.

In that vein, I'd also recommend another of hers, "Saving Time," which is (quietly?) incredibly radical. Personally, I found it the better of the two, with more of a focused narrative.

That looks like you have to load up a local file with an exploit, use a png library not being used by major software that also doesn't check for issues with the png file (because they already need to deal with malicious files) and the end result is that it will run javascript if javascript is able to be run from webasm in that context.

It is still worth looking at and is actual information, so I appreciate that.

Your argument is based on an incorrect understanding of liability, and is also nullified by the fact that these measures, allegedly justified on safety grounds, were not just undocumented (see other sources) but clearly deliberately hidden, to the point where the manufacturer pretended not to know why the trains would not start.

Update: here's a quote from the Ars Tech. article itself, showing a) no tampering with the trains' software or hardware was necessary to get them running, and b) there's no even slightly plausible case for believing the manufacturer was unaware of this. Furthermore, if it really was somehow unaware of what was going on, then these 'features' cannot be justified as a safety measure.

Dragon Sector got the trains running after discovering "an undocumented ‘unlock code’ which you could enter from the train driver’s panel which magically fixed the issue."

Update 2: It is barely plausible that the ability to track the trains' presence in other maintenance shops was initially added to gather evidence for liability and warranty purposes, and then someone had the dumb idea of using this to covertly disable trains when this happened.

Note that the use of a third-party maintenance operation was not a secret: the train operator solicited bids for the work, and the manufacturer tendered one. Clearly, third-party maintenance was not in violation of any contract (and if somehow it was, the manufacturer did not need to gather any covertly-acquired evidence for a breach-of-contract suit.)

Something like this needs traction. The concept is essentially a "policy DSL," where we need a domain specific language for describing authorization across the internet. The other feature a DSL should have is a 5W's approach, of who, what, when, where, why, and how - as this will make it consistent with most business logic and also any logging and audit requirements, as this is how humans describe things. I can see why they are using a concrete language based on security concepts to describe the authorizations, but the next level would be a more general subject-predicate graph form. The risk there is losing consistency when users and developers don't abstract it well, so maybe biscuitsec has got it right. All authN systems die of overspecification, and so the best solution will be the one people actually use.

Several years ago I was looking at doing a "blockchain policy DSL," where users could federate applications by subscribing to and caching parts of the chain, but there wasn't enough product juice in it to pursue (I've done a lot of IAM and digital identity work over the years). This biscuitsec authZ token has a lot of the right ideas. It's a hard problem that needs fewer solutions and just one viable product.
Given how subversive Mellville was trying to be with other parts of the story, what he chooses to write and present is part of his license as an author and will show his biases and prejudices.

I am not the first person to note the prejudices and racist undertones of the book.

I don't think it's worth of praise for being a "classic, must read," book on this basis. I think it's worth reading for many reasons but it's a heavy work and folks should know, going in, that it has many challenging and problematic aspects among the good parts.
Maybe this will turn out to be a very good thing, but with the degraded quality of their mobile app and the languishing state of the web app, I can't help but feel like a desktop app for Proton Mail is a distraction at this point. Granted, there is a rewrite of their mobile app in progress to fix serious performance issues, but that should be finished first before even thinking about a brand new desktop app.

At the same time, the idea that we need vendor-specific email applications really sucks. In decades past, we had email applications that could support multiple email accounts from multiple vendors. Proton Mail is a bit of a special case in that regard, which results in it needing to provide a bridge application and now apparently a desktop app, but it really shouldn't be. If independent email applications aren't adequate for peoples' basic needs in 2023 and can't provide straight forward support for things like Proton Mail, then those applications should be fixed.

But that's just crazy talk, I know. Nothing can be interoperable.
So have them escalate the problem?
I really don’t think that’s true. Apple sells music, movies and subscriptions on platforms other than their own (iTunes for Windows, Apple TV and Music for Android etc.), and these require Apple IDs as well.

I dislike many aspects of Apple’s service offerings, but not being able to log in on non-Apple devices was never one of them.

Over-the-Air Updates Are Changing the Auto Recall Game
I had some conversations with some folks who worked in asbestos removal. In the US, everyone who touches the stuff owns it forever. The bags used to pack it have the name, license #s and contact info for the company removing it. If the landfill decides 20 years from now that they no longer want it in their landfill, your company gets to pay to remove it and then dispose of it in a new landfill.

The general feeling was that every asbestos removal company goes out of business (dissolve, chapter 7) in order to escape the permanent liability of the stuff. At which point it now becomes a SuperFund issue.

Farmer here.

Enormous US government ag regulations severely harm both farmers and innovation in farming.

For example, did you know that there are only four meat processors in the United States due to USDA regulations (full regulatory capture) and they have monopolized meat processing so much that farmers get the same prices for their cattle they received twenty years ago while meat prices have gone up multiple times?

Or that food handling regulations are so archaic and overdone that it is nearly impossible to bring healthier options to market?

Dramatically shrink or eliminate the USDA and regulations and you will see an exponential increase in new ideas and better products at lower prices.

(I'm the post author). I agree with this. Perhaps I'd emphasize larger in terms of people working on it rather than codebase size. Once you have competing "mental models" about how the code works, the problem of silent bugs can escalate quickly.

So I do think the "always test" mentality is a reasonable default for the non-prototype type of work. There's a tipping point where going on without testing can get the project out of control and it's hard to tell when that is, so in contexts where you care to avoid that risk it makes sense to be strict about it. I didn't care for that risk in this case, so it made sense not to bother and focus on building momentum. I'd probably add some integration tests now if I wanted to try a significant new feature or refactor, or if I had to consider contributions from other developers.

I would argue there's a definite creative process here.
> we do not have domain knowledge

So you have no leads on people who want your product. And no domain knowledge. It sounds like you skipped step one in creating a product - make sure you know of someone who wants it and will pay for it.

And that leads to the 2nd problem I see: "It is hard to explain benefits of new tech."

If that is true, you aren't solving a big enough problem. Regardless of your solution, there isn't a market if you don't at least pique some interest when you say, "We have a solution to {problem}."

So I'd take a big step back, and ask yourself some basic PMF questions:

1) What problem are you solving?

2) Who has that problem?

3) Is that problem a large enough pain that they would be willing to pay for a solution?

4) Does your solution meet the need well enough that they would be willing to pay for your specific specific solution?

False. You could move very quickly out of poverty by (probably) stumbling into success in an industry with very low levels of regulation. Not everyone can do that. You have to realize that half of everybody has a below average IQ, and that pretty much puts the kibosh on the whole "starting a company in an industry with low levels of government regulation."

How about this? Suppose we abolished all regulation tomorrow. How would that help people get out of poverty? Well, it wouldn't. How do I know that? Just look back to the 19th century, when we more or less didn't have regulation in the US. It was a terrible time to be a worker, but a great time to be a robber baron.
