Toy Theater – Educational Games for Kids
I stumbled across this surprisingly delightful source of games and educational tools while trying to explain analog clocks to my son. I'm impressed by the simplicity of the design and lack of login or advertising.

so if I kept redrawing neighbors I'd find that one woman, that could engineer my dream child (after we made sweet sweet love)?

that is, if another neighbor didn't chose to redraw that exact time when I didn't ...

wait. are you saying I need to get rid of that one neighbor? wait.

It's "free" QA. And presumably you'll do it again later until it's better.
The verification service doesn't see the token from the porn site. The user takes the token from the porn site and from that generates a blinded token. The blinded token is what is sent to verification service. They sign it and return it.

It is the user that then generates the signed porn token, by applying the unblinding function to the signed blinded token.

If the blinded tokens leak the porn sites cannot match them up with the tokens they issued because they don't have the parameters to unblind them.

Big Microsoft critic here but that tweet made me chuckle. Gotta give this one to the Microsoft social team
A rule of thumb is if the speaker talks in the signature TED(tm) tone of voice, it's probably just entertainment.
Cool! I’ll have a lookseee. I’ve my own experiments in this space.
Microsoft has historically been the ugly one out of the ones that made it.

Always they had a reputation of being slimy with low quality code, bugs.

Of course the whole Casey Muratori incident also made it clear how terrible Microsoft programmers are.

I worked with 2 Microsoft principal engineers in my life and I swore I would never work with another Microsoft dev since then.
Also all reimplementations of proprietary technology.

The S3 API is a really good example of the “OSS only becomes dominant when development slows down” principle. As a friend of mine who has had to support a lot of local blob storage says, “On the gates of hell are emblazoned — S3 compatible.”
even arcteryx is only now just starting to experiment with eliminating pfas use with some specific products
I thought Firefox on Android already did something similar to embedding, via GeckoView? The issue with embedding seemed to be that Mozilla really hated having complaints that their APIs were very unstable and kept breaking. In contrast, the IE embedding solid APIs were more stable (because they were also more limited, as I understand it).
Best guess: You get particles orbiting the sun, until you pass a point where the sun's gravity is too weak to hold them, and from that point you basically only see things who's escape trajectory intersects with yours
Yes, and there were still connections to telegraphs, which used all upper-case.
Sholes was much inspired by Hughes' telegraphs that used a piano-like keyboard with keys in alphabetic order.
The first early adopters/beta testers of Sholes' Type-Writer were telegraphists who transcribed Morse code. First after that did Remington get involved.

If one develops apps for Apple ecosystem then it is must have. If not - I'd say it is a darling of some specific categories of users. Not your general developer.

Personally except couple of encounters I do not need to develop for Mac, hence I do not have it and could not care less if the brand disappears tomorrow. You can't really generalize here
It's a tax, it's certainly fine to disagree with it but it's simply a tax. And you're surely aware that signals don't work like that.
the best part is that Helm does some sort of preprocessing to strip out comments (i think) when templating and validating, so it will report a failure at a line number that doesn't actually correspond to the problem in the original source. tracking down template failures is infuriating because of this
You know all the drm-y attestation b.s., yeah, don't be surprised when stuff like this accelerates apple and co.'s adaption of it. They can require the cpu to cryptographically verify imessage for it to talk to other clients. I hope the reverse engineers have a lot of fun though.

I don't oppose it but I do wonder why people can't just use a different client? Same with the usb-c nonsense, walled garden lawsuits,etc... when alternatives are viable, is it right to be intolerant of what you don't like? If I want to start a closed source proprietary crappy messaging app and I don't want other clients to talk to it, why would someone have a problem with that? But again, I think beeper's work is cool, I just have a hard time understanding the whole anti-apple sentiment. I mean, why support apple at all on your messaging app if you don't like them? Does apple or do apple users owe everyone else participation in their ecosystem?

I just can't reconcile the attitude with the attitude of liberty for all.
Photos only show what camera/film of the time could capture (in some lighting condition), not everything that every possible test could. Just how certain are you that there will never be a technique or technology discovered that would reveal information prior studies didn't?
I use iMessage regularly, and have done so since it was first released.

I have never, to my knowledge, had a message sent to me lost (which I would have found out because my family members, who would have been the ones to try and fail to send it to me, would have mentioned it), nor lost a message I sent (except for obvious cases where I had insufficient signal, and the app clearly notified me of it).

I have never received a misdirected message, had mine misdirected, nor heard of anyone else doing either.

In all the criticisms of iMessage I've seen recently—in this Beeper situation, and a little longer ago when Apple decided to support RCS—I have seen no one else say that they've had issues like you describe.

Obviously, this doesn't mean that these things can't happen. But it does suggest that Your Experiences Are Not Universal.

Instinctual drift is somewhat counterintuitive. In particular, it's controversial how much it affects human behavior in modern society. But it replicates!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instinctive_drift

More generally, psychological concepts that can be tested in animals, particularly those found repeatedly in many different animals, can be pretty robust. It's experiments on humans that are hard, both for ethical reasons and because it's hard to "experiment" on something that's as smart as you are. But it's also specifically human cognitive psychology that makes the headlines.

While Kahneman and Tversky's mistakes have been widely touted by people who don't like them, many parts of prospect theory also replicate:

The first time I came to understand this was in Isaac Asimov's The Collapsing Universe, which described how stars form, function, and die, with the ultimate fate of the very largest being black holes.

<https://archive.org/details/collapsinguniver0000asim>

Stars are a contest between gravity and the nuclear strong force, with stellar fusion creating the heat and pressure required to resist, at least for a time, the pull of gravity. The larger a star, the faster it burns through its hydrogen fuel. While brown dwarf stars may have liftimes in the trillions of years, our Sun will expend all its fuel in about 11-12 billion years (it's about half-way through that process now), and will gradually grow hotter and brighter as it does so (it's already about 25% brighter than it was when the Earth was formed). The largest stars have lifespans of only a few million years, roughly dating to when the proto-hominids diverged from their last common ancestor with chimpanzees, and far more recently than the dinosaurs died out.

It's a useful lesson to recall that bigger and more energy-hungry does not necessarily mean longer-lived, and quite often means precisely the opposite.

I don't like any form of censorship / filtering but this is by far the most reasonable way to do it if it must be done.
A proper thing is for the EU to require apple to implement an interoperabile message api and force that to be used as the default, rather than being able to use a non-interoperable messaging protocol as the default

Is there anything similar on Milgram's experiment? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
I guess your right, it is censorship.

And so are laws against tobacco advertising.

As are laws in Canada against hate speech, harrasment missgendering and Holocaust denial.

I guess censorship gets a bad wrap.

Yes we all remember the Bill Gates hovering over Jobs event and the investment announcement and confirmation of Office for OS X. I think what the parent was referring to though is performance of macOS Office was trash until like Office 2016 or maybe Office 2019 (with multiple earlier hiccups along the way e.g. the delay on the x86 port etc.).
I have a husband and family. Same-sex marriage and adoption is illegal in China, but not anywhere in the US. I can’t speak to public attitudes, but I would assume that they are correspondingly worse in China.
What does it even mean to align an intelligence? does it mean we want it to behave in a way that doesn't break moral/ethical rules, that aligns with our society rules ? Meaning do no crime, do no harm, etc...

Well, maybe we should acknowledge that we've never even been able to do that with humans. There's crime, there's war, etc...

We can see crime in our societies as a human alignment problem. If humans were "properly aligned", there wouldn't be any crime or misbehavior.

So yeah i'm rather skeptical about aligning a superhuman intelligence that would dwarf us by its capabilities.

I would suggest that is exactly what Beeper is doing. Not the end users ISP / WAN connection obviously, but certainly Apple's iMessage infrastructure (servers, switches, bandwidth, etc).

The more relevant question is AMD vs. Apple. Intel is pretty much out of the equation now. Anybody have insights into the advantages and disadvantages from both sides from that perspective?
How so? You can easily automate sending messages on a Mac, and you can easily change the IDs on Intel based Macs. Ultimately, the only solid line of defence is banning your phone number and Apple ID.
I completely agree, Mozilla has made a ton of mistakes with Firefox for Android in the last few years. That's why I'm happy to see Mozilla finally follow through with their promise to expand add-ons for Android and pleasantly surprised that sideloading is about to be enabled in the stable channel of Firefox for Android.
but it's all inference, and most of Nvidias moat is in training afaik.
What computer resources are being used without authorization?
Milgram's results are also not as cut and dry as they are usually presented. Obedience rates varied wildly in subsequent variations he ran of the experiment and his initial experiment that got all the attention was a pretty low sample size.

I guess what I'm really trying to get at is this seems like a huge missed opportunity to show their LLM is actually doing something cool. Like if it somehow significantly outperforms established genetic programming update strategies that should be pretty easy to demonstrate given their experimental setup, but no attempt was made. That's kinda bizarre... like, in what sense is this an advancement of the field?
It’s not being appropriated. It’s E2EE. It’s a bug, but nothing more.
I started Crossies to solve this problem. My plan was to store physical media for people, and give them remote access. When I heard about Murfie shutting down 4 years ago, I couldn't let it happen and had to get involved.

I'm passionate about media ownership. When people question what I'm doing, wonder why anybody would want CDs, or tell me I should just give up, I think about all the transient services and missing media. I'm in this for the long haul, and I'm not going to give up. Media ownership means something, and I'm fighting to make it a reality.

Other cryptos tend to track bitcoin because of increased demand from people who dont understand the qualitative difference between a quality product and scams. Bitcoin holds the majority of market share, and over time basically all of these loose 100% of their value. You should ask yourself what causes bitcoin to have a floor when its had 4 80+% drops in its lifetime.
Let me explirant/elucidate those who may not understand why TIOBE is a dumb signal:

The primary "problem" programming language ranking lists solves are: 0. the amelioration of trepidation of the novice as to which tool in the toolbox to "select" without first building something by trial-and-error. 1. The businesses who don't want to know anything but wish to surf fashionable trends in business and technology.

TS is a strict superset of JS. It probably doesn't get as much credit for being safer and superior to JS because it's routinely transpiled out of existence and doesn't offer language features on its own besides gradual, static typing. And there aren't many questions about it because its fairly self-explanatory. The biggest problem with TS is the Cambrian explosion of confusion of procedural configuration files (.ts and .js).

Prolog is used in programming language courses to solve logic brain teasers, formal verification every now and then (although Coq, Isabelle, RedPRL, and Idris exist now) and some niches like TerminusDB and Watson. It was probably used once to solve a formal proof and then modeled by Erlang. It's one of those influential languages amongst language designers like ALGOL 68, Haskell, and LISP that weren't themselves popular. (You can thank ALGOL 68 for the Bourne shell family.)

The other thing is programming language popularity peeing contests are rarely useful because what is practical is productivity and correctness at scale under the financial and effort constraints in reality for a given problem, team, and codebase. Plus, thundering herds of people just in it for the money tend to have resumes that all look the same and completely lack curiosity. Also, recruiters who follow popularity are the ones I can righteously tell to go hell for insulting me by saying things like "X isn't going anywhere" (In one case: X was Go, and t was 2011). While there is "safety in numbers", there are N ways to trim hairy cattle. Sometimes, easier and better ways come along that need to be tried. Curiosity and learning never go out of style except at shops that are dinosaurs marching to the tar pits. Shops that discourage learning in favor of ship-ship-ship yesterday, avoid bettering their employees, and are full of people who have no technical side-hobbies lack engineering craftspeople.
> iMessage isn't a monopoly on messaging nor SMS

People tend to misinterpret what it means to be a monopoly for antitrust law. The obvious example here is United States v. Microsoft Corp., where the inability to remove Internet Explorer was at issue. Being unable to set an alternative messaging app with equivalent functionality (such as Signal) on a mobile phone is at least as cumbersome to the user as being unable to uninstall Internet Explorer, despite the ability to install competing browsers. The iMessage case is arguably worse because the competing browsers had the same features as IE. Apple uses its control of the handset to disable other messengers from supporting SMS on iOS.

Also relevant in that case is that Microsoft was argued to be a monopoly not over all computers or even all desktop computers, but over intel-based personal computers. This illustrates that the scope of the market in these cases is often smaller than one might initially think.

The FTC has a page here that goes into it [0].

> Then courts ask if that leading position was gained or maintained through improper conduct—that is, something other than merely having a better product, superior management or historic accident....Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors.

In this case, forcing users to use iMessage for SMS decreases the likelihood that users will install an alternative messenger with a smaller feature set due to Apple's control over the OS.

That reduced likelihood compounds quickly because the popularity of a messenger tends to scale with the square of the install base.

There are other mobile browsers which incorporate adblocking directly (though not extensions generally).

The Einkbro browser, optimised for e-ink devices (as the name suggests) is one. I believe Brave does as well.

As much as I'm a fan of Firefox (using it now on desktop), on my mobile e-ink device, Einkbro's optimisations make for a vastly superior browsing experience.
The initial version wasn't based on Chromium.
Interesting contrast. No question that Windows wastes a lot of one's time. Probably most people guess that Linux will waste more of their time, because they may not be able to learn easily enough what you've learned about how to configure it and keep it running smoothly. They may suspect that even if they put in a little time, they will nonetheless make fatal mistakes or be left with a system they must replace with Windows after all. So their perception or misperception of the time cost they will pay causes them to choose Windows, and maybe a lot of them are wrong in the long term.

I informed the TVLA that my mum's flat had been empty since her death and they can stop sending monthly harassing letters.

Meanwhile, I'm 90% certain I'll be cancelling my own Licence soon and deleting iPlayer off my AppleTV, mostly because the BBC can't figure out how to make subtitles work on it, so if I'm going to have to pirate Doctor Who so my wife can watch with subtitles anyway, why bother paying in the first place?

The BBC is definitely an institution whose best days are long past. It's not really their fault - successive generations of political ruling classes have really hated them and wanted to see the end of public service broadcasting in the UK, but when presented with opportunities to showcase their value the BBC are definitely experts at stuffing it up.
I wish they would just lock it away behind a licensed paywall.

>Trying to correct mistaken or intentionally false claims in the media is a never-ending game of whack-a-mole.

Wrong. Merely trying is in-fact incredibly easy to do, but there is no record of Zimbardo taking a single step in that direction. You don't have a case.
It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how that's the least bit surprising.
Seems a bit disingenuous to say movies are dead when comparing a series that encapsulate many more multiple hours of viewing than a movie would. Might be wiser to divide the viewers by total episodes to at least get half a fair argument, but someone actually versed in big data would have wiser words to say.
Are you concerned what the media landscape could turn into without the BBC, though?
