In that case, its not UK, its United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

NK or North Korea is a common name used by many to refer to that country, DPRK is the official name. Anyone is free to use whichever one they want.
Indeed. A group of people went through 15 years of financial hardship and horrific war and it made them so strong willed and determined to do something with surviving that. I’m grateful to not have to have gone through all that but also accept that they formed a certain wisdom we can’t appreciate fully.

That era should be looked on like we do the renaissance, etc. Just a remarkable era that we still are building on today. The springboard.

Untrue. Many cultures don't much speak to their children and they turn out just fine. It's fairly evident Language learning is primarily unsupervised.

Amusingly I returned to this comments section and was scrolling down looking at the time stamps for new comments and this was the first new comment I hit. Thanks. It's clearly going to come in handy.
Have you consider perhaps that you aren't the center of the universe, and that there are millions of other people who are worse off than you? That if those people were better off, even at your personal expense, then that would be a better society to live in? Your comments are all "me me me," and I don't see any reason why "we we we" should assign any weight to them.

My hardest photo shoot ever – Cool baby portrait
A friend of mine had a black/white deck that could loop you to death, it was no fun to play against, soon as he got the cards out he needed, he could (IIRC) banish a creature to the graveyard, then bring it back, repeatedly, and one of those actions inflicted damage on the opponent.

It was clever, but also beardy AF, to use a phrase from my days of WH40K
“Many of Milgram’s participants believed it to be impossible that the prestigious Yale University experimenter would allow real harm to be inflicted on an experimental subject. Although Milgram claimed that 75% of his participants thought they were administering painful shocks, Perry’s re-analysis of the data showed that “It’s more truthful to say that only half of the people who undertook the experiment fully believed it was real, and of those, two-thirds disobeyed the experimenter” (p. 163). Furthermore, she argues that many of those who did administer the maximum amount of shock did so because they were confident the shock wasn’t real or that the experiment was an elaborate ruse.”

I like the simple, humble message.

My own take is similar. Truth is, we are young, we shit where we eat, we spend considerable resources killing one another, we do not take good care of our own, and we reproduce like rabbits.

For all we know there is a signpost some parsecs out there that reads: Do not yet approach. These things have not yet become ready for what contact could likely mean. We must pass tests to come. Tests that arise as an artifact of our current human condition.

Trying to survive our time is so damn spot on too! Real as it gets, and for that record, real as it needs to be.

Once we do get to really living, thriving on a scale we imagine others farther along in their journey as beings could maybe be, we might look back in awe that we managed it! Others may look toward us with some hope and anticipation of a meeting being worth it one day, should we succeed.

Maybe, just maybe that scrappy little world and it's people some how grow enlightened enough to endure through and become peers of a sort, likely young, but maybe ready sort.

A whole lot went into those short phrases. Damn good stuff.
It's extremely familiar. No need to apologize.
It's more because code coverage isn't measured correctly. What you want is branch coverage.

If you have something like this:

if condition1:
do_something1()
if condition2:
do_something2()
if condition3:
do_something3()

There are 8 possible paths for the code to follow here, but you can cover 100% of lines of code in one test. If your code coverage measure tells you that testing the case where conditions 1, 2, and 3 are all true achieves 100% coverage, your measure is worthless. Covering this code cannot be done in less than eight tests.

> What? I pay for iMessage.

I doubt that. iMessage is a free service if you have almost any Apple OS product (iOS, iPadOS, macOS). You aren't making ongoing payments for the iMessage service.

You could say you paid for iMessage in that you bought a device that worked with it. But you do not pay for iMessage.
Leadership being unable to avoid attaching MBA measurements to unicorn points was really the fundamental flaw of agile. It's what bankrupts the estimation and execution and cooperation in a team, because it becomes a game of grabbing high value low effort tickets and inflating them so "velocity" increases.

There are many other issues with Agile. I certainly don't want to defend it. The dogmatic release cycle, the no-tickets-crossing-sprints. Standup where everyone talks.

Waterfall is broken, but the ONE THING it had was the ability to cook on things over long hauls, and actually research/prototype/experiment. Something that iterative Agile should in theory make achievable, but you cannot when management is scrutinizing every ticket for "productivity". Prototypes and research are waste to almost all middle management, they want features and bling to get them promoted.

The Wire had it: "juking the stats". Or alternatively a quantum-esque principle that any efficiency metric becomes useless once management observes it/uses it to judge workers.

I would routinely have 8 point tickets that simply overflowed across 3-5 sprints. I didn't bother breaking them down, because it was a waste of time. The ticket described the unit of work from the proper level of detail.

Retrospectives were crap because everyone had to say ... SOMETHING. It couldn't simply be a meeting where we said "eh, good enough for now". Retrospectives generally danced around the real problems that we had no real control over: dumb dictated schedules, management intrusion, lack of resources to handle support tickets and other unplanned stuff that would distract you.

Agile also typically came with some fantasy of "everyone works on everything", complete and utter baloney.

Finally, Agile really really incentivizes getting the least good solution to a problem. There was no incentive to clean things up, write a medium-term rather than a hack (YAGNI is not always true, people).

But what Agile had correct in the abstract was the notion of iterating to a solution, rather than a waterfall. Did it have to be in two week (or shudder, one week) cycles? No, unless you are doing CSS/UI button placement/font selection bikeshedding. But maybe working towards 2-5 week milestones and check-ins with stakeholders? Oh yeah, that would be about right.
> The operators also take on attributes of the machines they manage and in the process inflict willful cruelty on others through their control of the machinery. The most obvious example of this is, of course, war and the technology associated with its execution. So this essay is right, machines/algorithms are ruthless but it is the people that use them to inflict pain and suffering on others that makes the whole thing into a grand tragedy.

This mirrors my experience. About six months ago, I had an accident on the metro in my city, where my leg slipped between the train and platform while deboarding. Not only did passers by not help, the "operators" stood idly by. While I am lucky to have escaped with "just" an ACL tear, I would have lost my leg that day if my friend hadn't been there to pull me out.
That's why the term "spam" was invented to describe USENET spam.

USENET comes from a more innocent time, when few institutions had firewalls, open (SMTP) mail relays were pretty common, and people logged into their systems over telnet.

Well so would be picking up radio signals like the ones we emit.

And while the probability that someone will be able to pick these signals up is low, it is still almost infinitely greater than that of someone finding one of the Voyagers out there.

How does the idle power consumption compare with AMD/Apple. While peak power draw is interesting, most gains will be if LPE core bring down consumption while in a meeting or browsing Internet, reading docs etc.
> Apple blew a hole in the side of the age old x86 armour by proving the arch isn’t untouchable.

the fact that they had to create an emulation/virtualization layer (rosetta) says other wise. The x86 instruction set is such an entrenched one that i dont think intel has any fear of it being rooted any time in this half-century.

If hardware next year is X times better (e.g. even 1.01 or 1% better) than this year, and you have a computation that takes T time today, then next year, it'll take T/X time. So waiting will take 1 + T/X years if time unit is years. So the condition you want is 1+T/X < T. This equation has solutions for given X where X is an improvement, so as long as there is any improvement, it's always true waiting to start large enough computations will be faster.

Though even faster will be doing part of the computation now and then switching to new hardware later, so it's a false dichotomy.
I agree. It’s easy to see how a user hostile setting would go unchecked by a large corporate company that doesn’t benefit from protecting the privacy of its users.

Open port 34567 for video streaming is indicative of a very common firmware package on the cheapest Chinese IP cameras, often called the Cantonk firmware although I'm not confident that Cantonk was the original developer. It's not as common as it used to be, thankfully, but AliExpress still carries plenty of devices running it.

I'm unhappy with calling out plaintext storage of the WiFi password as a vulnerability. The device is a WiFi client. It ultimately needs to store either the password or the hash for a specific protocol, which is as good as a password (can be used to authenticate) with the downside that the device will need to be reconfigured if the network security protocol changes. WiFi passwords are shared keys, they must be shared. Absent some type of hardware secure enclave, any means of encrypting the shared key for storage would be mere obfuscation to an attacker with access to the device. This kind of knee-jerk "the password should not be stored in plaintext" seems to come from people who are rotely applying advice for services, not clients, without actually thinking out the threat model.

Overall this analysis is very shallow and I think fails to get at by far the largest and most concerning attack surface on these devices, the cloud and NAT negotiation services used by the first party mobile apps.
ah, I didn't remember the reference. I did think that was a weird place to create an abbreviation.

Well, we don’t have great figures on this but there are some estimates that only 20% of the human population has ever flown on an airplane.

That seems like it’s a pretty heavily “gilded only” type of thing especially if you look at percentage distributions of flight frequency and by class.
Encoding the same information in both indentation and braces is redundant, and so is a violation of DRY, and so is bad.

(Of course the reality is that braces are how you write scoping information and indentation is how you read it, and CQRS is actually a good thing.)
I tend to generally ignore Russia in the context of development nowadays in spaceflight because I don't see them having the spare resources or talent to do any meaningful new development. They're good at reusing and iterating what they inherited from the USSR, but they've promised so much new stuff over the years and have delivered on basically nothing. The countries I mentioned have all at least managed to bring online modern "from scratch" designs in reasonable timeframes.
Kudos to the retool design team and Glenn on a really nice execution of this story. The Pipes inspired illustrations are gold.
That's an interesting hypothesis, but the work under discussion here didn't make an attempt to test it. You make two claims:

(1) That using an LLM (Palm2) somehow "saved time" by avoiding "nonsensical programs"

(2) That there exists a "cold start problem" (which, presumably, the LLM somehow solves).

Yet not the paper, nor the blog post, nor the code on github support these.

You didn't have a choice when it came to protocols for the Internet; it's TCP/IP and DNS or you don't get to play. Everyone was running dual stack to support their LAN and Internet and you had no choice with one of them. So, everything went TCP/IP and reduced overall complexity.
I think this is how it is largely across the US as well (not the valley or NYC) Support at the corporate level for apple products isn’t a serious thing for large corps. They expect to operate at the same margins as consumer companies.

Apple is tolerated because some users demand them, but for the vast majority of mid and lower level employees? You’re getting a dell.

I will update this to say I think I underestimate the share Apple has in the enterprise - they are, according to one source at 25% of enterprise share across the world.
> To have an over-reliance on metrics and refusing to acknowledge that metrics are proxies and considering the nuances that they were explicitly trained to look for and is what meaningfully distinguishes them from less experienced people.

Again, the "mistake" they repeated was the year that the inspectors were expelled, which they erroneously stated as 1998 instead of 1997.

Clearly they’re a cartel because they colluded to form their own sports league that doesn’t give athletic scholarships (that’s all the Ivy League is after all).

Jokes aside of lot of the complaints are kind of nonsense. For example, the article laments that their admitted class size doesn’t track the population. Setting aside the fact that they’re private institutions and can target whatever size they want, there’s a lot of bottlenecks to growing class sizes. Besides having to build new facilities (not just dorms but new lecture halls, especially larger lecture halls for big intro classes), these schools like to tout a student to instructor ratio. That means hiring new faculty, and these schools don’t just take anyone as faculty. A department trying to hire new professors will just wait a year if they weren’t satisfied with the crop of applications they got the previous year. They’re willing to wait to get a quality person because that person is potentially a member of the department for the rest of their career.

This argument doesn't make any sense from a user standpoint though. It would only make sense if users insisted on only using iMessage exclusively and didn't accept non-iMessage SMS messages at all. Getting an iphone and using iMessage doesn't make you less susceptible to spam text messages than Android users or people using other texting platforms, *because everyone uses SMS*. It's impossible not to.

A half century is a pretty long time. I wouldn't be surprised if even Intel has moved on in 30 years.

Wow yes, that was also my main question and it looks like the answer everyone is agreeing on is "interstellar wind pushing back against the solar wind"

BUT-
The graph says 2-3 particles/sec hitting the detector, which in sub-atomic terms is like 2 drops of water in an ocean's worth of volume. How much meaningful particle interaction is happening when everything is so close to a true vaccuum? Is this another one of those weird quantum-field-theory things?

I can agree that an immersive photo or video in 3D presented back to you with your perspective vision could be a really powerful thing.

However...the conclusion is where things fall apart for me a little bit.

> Frankly, I think everyone is so focused on comparing Vision Pro to the Quest 3 that they’re missing the point of what the Vision Pro really is: it’s going to disrupt the TV and projection screens industry. Why would anyone spend $3,000 on a cutting-edge TV when the Vision Pro will give you a resizable screen that's also portable and can easily display all of your content?

I think this is quite far off. For one thing, the average person is absolutely not spending $3,000 on a TV. People look at my $1,500 TV like I'm crazy. A 65" TV is like $350 at Costco.

And, what, I need one Vision Pro per person in my house? So if I have 10 people over to watch football they need a $35,000 set of screens instead of one $1,500 screen.

Then I've got these spatial videos that I can't even take advantage of unless I have a Vision Pro. There's no other device where I can view them in their full glory. You don't even have that problem with other proprietary formats like Live Photos.

And, here's the other thing: prospective customers can't see the benefit of the Vision Pro without using one and giving it a chance. It's kind of a black box device that can't win over a buyer without something of a longer test drive. It's not like the original iPhone where one two-finger pinch resize of a photo can cause an audience to gasp and cheer.

That's going to be where the price is a huge issue. It was easy to just go and impulsively buy Quests because they are at a "toy" price point.

You know why people are comparing the Quest 3 to the Vision Pro? Because the Quest 3 is attainable at $500, and it gives you some of the more useful and impactful AR upgrades that someone would want. It's got working pass-through, you can watch videos on a virtual screen while you fold laundry.

Can't I play back 3D video just as well on a Quest 3? Presumably, if someone makes a simple camera app, you can take a similar "spatial video" and watch it with any VR device, since all VR devices have stereoscopic vision.

I'm sure Apple will eventually bring the price down for the Vision Pro, but it's going to be a long journey. I'm not betting against it, but at the same time, I'm not betting that it's the next evolution of computing.
In a business-class network, even one running Windows, if DNS breaks "everything" is going to break.
> Voyager 1 is so far away that it takes 22.5 hours for commands sent from Earth to reach the spacecraft. Additionally, the team must wait 45 hours to receive a response.

It's like when you write a program and you have to wait for almost two days to compile the code, run the program, and see its output. Meanwhile programmers these days complain when the build time is more than a few minutes.
That’s a weird conspiracy theory. How does anyone figure Apple benefits from this. How is the setting even ‘user hostile’?

Very cool project, i was just thinking about rss readers and the like the other day.

I enjoyed your take on using the app how you imagine it and developing around it (frequency buckets, etc). Those problems sometimes go unnoticed during the design stage but are crucial to really getting the benefit of the app - the REAL reason why you're building it and and eventually excited to use it. I have gone through similar career burnouts and it's projects like these that can re light the flame... Until the next burnout lol
So are TensorFlow and PyTorch. All AI/ML frameworks have to translate high-level tensor programs into executable artifacts for the given hardware and they're all given away for free because there is no way to make money with them. It's all open source and free. So the big tech companies subsidize the compilers because they want hardware to be the moat. It's why the running joke is that I need $80B to build AGI. The software is cheap/free, the hardware costs money.
