I can't rotate web pages in Safari, there's plenty of situations in Apple's first party apps in iOS where pinch to zoom is purely a zoom thing.

In any case, the rotation thing is also just pretty rudimentary trigonometry/linear algebra.
That is not the conclusion they drew in their paper.

They were more modest in their conclusions, and plan to do additional work to continue to investigate it.
That's literally just "writing basic HTML and not using Javascript."

You can still totally just do that, no one is stopping you.

But even if you went the whole Gemini route and published a custom protocol to be explicitly incompatable with HTTP and a spec supporting only early HTML, you still wouldn't be able to capture the early web, because it isn't the 1990s anymore.

You depend on it but so much as clicking in a star button is burdensome? Come on!

Then the author's don't want you to use their project, so fork it or move on.

This isn't about you, it's a button the author cares about, so support them with it for their sake, if they want money they will ask for it.

You are not part of any of thay, you are just supporting someone making their hard work free and open source in the way they want to be supported. This boils down to how you wish to support them and how you wish the system worked without a single consideration into their right to not support you for any reason at all. The software is already FOSS, you downvote their post and anything defending them because what? Being free and open isn't enough, you also deserve free labour and in your own terms?
Completely agree.

I sew clothes. The vast majority of projects I start get finished. Sometimes I'm happy with the result, sometimes I'm not. I wear them regardless. My kids wear them. After a while they grow out of them.

Does anyone remember Google Video? It was a horrible experience. The upload process was a pain, and I think some approval was needed at some point, or you had to be sponsored by someone already on the service.

Then Google bought Youtube.

In the AI space it's unclear what/who they could buy -- OpenAI being obviously out of reach -- but it's possible they could find a good match.

> Photoshop is one of the best pieces of software, period.

FWIW, painting is one of the easiest pieces of software to get right. As much as I couldn't replicate the volume of stuff Adobe has done in 30+ years, I could build the bones of Photoshop in a few months, with modular extensibility frameworks to slot everything else in.

Indeed, GIMP did much the same thing. They messed up a few things (like color models), which continue to haunt it (even the ones which were retroactively fit back in), but it's not any more work to do it right. If they had, it'd be very competitive with Photoshop today.

The basic data model is a grid of pixels, organized with layers, and having masks, and an extensible set of tools to operate on them. You also need a little bit of "other" for things like editable text, before it is flattened into the above. Add modular tools and filters, and you're 90% of the way there.

Most of the value-add of Photoshop is simply developer time to add a comprehensive set of tools. Adobe can hire a researcher to tweak some algorithm for years, and at this point they've got a lot.

Basic video editing is similar. Linear streams, in layers, with modular filters and effects.

I'm much more impressed with Adobe drawing tools, page layout, and animation. That's HARD because there aren't the same kinds of clean data models and abstractions. These are harder to use, and don't feel as polished, but that's not because they're less well-written, but because they solve a harder problem. I could NOT build the core of that myself in a reasonable amount of time.
I am not sure if that is generally true. It’s true for lichess and chess.com (compared to ELO) It really has only to do with the formula they use. They have different formulas. I think e.g. lichess has a formula so that the median is centered around 1500. This is different from how ELO is calculated. I would assume if they all had the same way to calculate the rating, it should be somewhat close.
The person in the linked GitHub repo is not asking the maintainers to develop the feature. They are asking if the maintainers would like the issue author to develop the feature. That's what is particularly disgusting to me about this star-begging-bot.
Great use case and a possible killer app for Zig.

However, for the complete newcomer to Zig, this post seems a bit convoluted in this presentation.

What about the Zig authors do a step by step tutorial on how to leverage Zig to implement tests in a C codebase?

I live in Reykjavik, west side and close to the ocean. From the coast line there it is about 35km or 22 miles direct line of sight to the eruption site. I went out about 1 hour and 15 minutes after the eruption started and saw the lava flow about 100-150m in the air with my bare eyes. I've seen a few eruptions but they are always mesmerizing!

You don't mention whether PyTorch runs with ROCm though, and it does. RX 6xxx and 7xxx series GPUs do pretty well with it.
If one requires interrupting 6 other people to maintain flow, it's probably a good idea to start phrasing (hyperbole intentional) it like:

'To keep my own flow, I need to destroy the flow of all my colleagues'

And not:

'My colleagues destroy my flow when they can't babysit me and respond to my questions asap, how dare they'

It's like driving and then going like: 'Gee, all these other drivers are sure in my way, I need them out of the road so I can get places'. Guess what buddy, they also gotta get places, so damn right follow the laws, wait for your turn patiently and you will get there when you get there. Your colleagues also have stuff to do, and the world doesn't revolve only around YOUR flow.

So write down your questions and observations in a coherent list, stop pinging people one question at a time, or search harder in the docs provided that they exist, sometimes that's even better as a learning experience.
You could, but then that would be bad analysis.

A more reasonable approach is a linear model.
I suppose it does to a certain extent but most of my experiences were with Chess, Football and Boxing. People say Chess is a sport but it's not really physically-exerting like some other sports or even healthy at all.

In terms of other sports, I think football (soccer) is a sport you don't really have to be 100% at, since that sport is somehow globally recognized and profitable so even subpar players can live well off it and it also seems much healthier than Chess and then there's the whole team aspect of it.
There is no "he" who will reap the reward. The reward all goes to the share holders and executives of the company which ends up owning the patent, not the individual or individuals who comes up with the thing which can be patented.
It's possible, if unlikely - wayward queen is not as bad as it looks (black has maybe a tiny bit more than equality), most players don't face it often (so probably don't have a lot of prep memorized) and in blitz time controls it's hard to find optimal punishment for subpar opening play. And 2000 is not that high again - top 0.3% on chess com is maybe top 50% of tournament players.

Online chess has a lot of begineers, since its more approachable.
It amazes me that this amazing new technology comes out and there is a group of people who are like "NO, NOT IF IT CAN'T TELL RACIST JOKES!"

I agree that like "tone" alignment is silly and pointless for models in the public domain, but if I were a big company who wanted to keep customers I'd align my models this way. It isn't censorship, its marketing.
Or, maybe, they’re good at it and capitalists.

Did they get paid for the survey? If so, finishing it rapidly increases $/hour, unless they got paid more for answers that are closer to reality (in which case only spending time thinking about answers you think you have a good grasp of, and giving up on others, may be the best strategy)

The entry method also may affect results (but not by these margins). If you’re being interviewed, saying “3%” or “20%” are about equal effort and it’s easy to do so with one percent increments, but if you have to drag a scroll bar, “somewhere around 1 in 30 but not zero”, if answered a bit sloppily/hastily (say because that “five minutes of your time” was a bit more, or turned out to be duller than you thought), may easily end up at 10%.
A scheduled list of questions at a preset time is often pretty bad too. Scheduling a 30 min VC for 1 simple little question sucks and conversely sometimes you have no idea how big of a can of worms you're about to open or who even has an opinion on it.
Chat messages are best IMO but the team needs to make an effort to respond when they aren't in the zone.

I’m 95% sure you’re very wrong on this. Anecdotally it seems to me that phone theft is massively down from where it was 10-20 years ago.

> This line of argument just _irks_ me

That’s fine you just have different preferences and/or priorities than other people. Nothing unique about that.

Certainly true. IMHO forcing Apple to sell parts for a reasonable prices would be a massively better solution

> I can damned well decide that on my own.

Isn’t it optional? On Macs anyway? (I’m not really sure)
I thought it was obvious. Not all projects get stars, the ones people use and like the most get more support in form of contribution which could be issues and pr's or other types of support. For people who don't care abour stars it means nothing, for those who do it means everything.

This is a less interactive site than those mentioned in the article, but i found www.chesstactics.org incredibly helpful when i was starting out.

I eventually realized that i enjoy chess puzzles much more than playing actual games of chess due to the lower time commitment and lower stress. I do puzzles every day but almost never play a full game.
It's absurd to me America needs some stupid third party app to send money to other bank accounts. In the UK, we can simply login to our bank accounts or the bank phone app, type their sort code and account number, or IBAN for international, and it arrives within minutes but usually seconds.

I kinda misspoke, it's not just laundering per se, more like crypto being a workaround for sanctions generally. If you have crypto in some countries there are ways to withdraw it into cash and buy your kids iphones for days without much kyc. Remember Binance's ties to Russia. Or you can buy guns for your war from North Korea and pay them crypto. But yeah, for laundering there are mixers and friendly banks. NK uses Macao I heard. Russia probably HK.

Depends on which part of the UK. In Northern Ireland you can still get delivery and installation of a Respa bed and mattress-for-life, plus collection and recycling of old mattress all for easily under £1000. I think they're sold under the Silentnight brand in GB[0].

Why do you want all(?) natural materials, that doesn't sound hygienic for something you want to have for more than 10 years?

At its heart, Ruby just doesn’t do static analysis. Program behaviour is defined at runtime and at runtime only. This ethos is why method calls in the language are implemented with message passing and also why everything is a mutable instance of Object.

The behaviour of a Ruby program, right down to the types and methods available, is only defined by running the program itself. It allows for all the glorious freedom of meta programming for which the language became famous as well as the often times inscrutability of the source code.

With a language like Python, the source code at the start bears a good resemblance to the structure of the program when any particular function executes.

With Ruby, the source code at the start of a program is merely a hint as to what the ObjectSpace will contain when your particular function ends up being called!

Is time invariance necessary to mitigate the attack, or would inserting pseudorandom delay from a source the attacker can't observe be sufficient?
The way I've heard it described for go is that beginners improve fastest by focusing on problems that require them to calculate 1–3 plies out of their comfort zone. These build strongly on pattern recognition (those are the comfortable bits) but also include some game tree walking (at least in go, 1–3 plies make up a pretty heavy game tree for a beginner.)

The idea is that calculation practise is great, but it also takes a lot of time. In the time it takes a beginner to solve one very deep calculation problem, they could have finished 40 pattern recognition problems and that would probably be more beneficial. So calculation and pattern recognition has to be balanced, and a few plies out of the comfort zone strikes that balance.
I could look harder, but I think my local parks only have basketball courts and a large field. The biggest park in my town has a baseball field. Never had a public access tennis court.

There are tennis courts in town, but they tend to be part of clubs or whatnot, similar to golf courses. Not public parks.
That just seems like petty behaviour.
I disagree with a few things youre saying, though I think your heart is in the right place, allow me a moment. People who own property pay property taxes, the truth is that almost no one owns property in america, even the rich, we only lease it from the government. Further, a rich persons contribution to society is that cellphones are cheap and powerful, that you can have anything from a couch to a christmas dinner delivered to your door, that any of us have free time enough to talk on the internet rather than sustenance farming.

There is a big trick, they are robbing you, but knowing how is half the battle. As you say regulations push out competition, that is one factor; along with government spending which will always flow to connected interests; lastly a monetary system where the money can only exist when its loaned into existence by a private corporation, the Fed.

Each of these have their respective mythos of justification, and an underlying purpose. Regulation is to protect the public despite the fact that the regulations only come after working conditions have already improved, and are passed after the well connected corporate interests have gained some advantage that would be difficult for smaller businesses to replicate. Government spending is sold as defending citizens from ner-do-wells foreign and domestic, or more modernly for providing for the downtrodden, whereas the vast majority of money flows into the military industrial complex, the pharmaceutical industry, the banks and other well connected interests. The existence of a private organization responsible for the creation of our money is sold as a way to keep prices stable, when the reality is it gives them dominion over the wealth of the population, by manipulating interest rates and banking regulations they can chronically steal the wealth out of the paper you work for.
In the summary you skipped few points:

1) First article mentions: "I have a couple of theories though. I set up Find My with an Apple ID that I don’t remember"

2) Second article mentions, that he attempted to report this as a vulnerability bug bounty program and disappointed that it wasn't considered a vulnerability.

3) The whole premise of "an email to Tim Cook" looks like a clickbait. By the point when he sent this email, his previous blog post already reached the top of Hacker News. There is no indication that Tim Cook was involved. The email was processed by staff in Japan.

The combination of these 3 facts make the whole story look very fishy. Given that author does not remember if he configured "Find My" at all, consequent "we don't own our devices anymore" sounds like populism and appeal to sentiment rather than a logically valid inference.

You still have to care whether your representatives are actually doing the job you voted them in for and are paying your taxes for. You can't just say "I voted for someone who promised to build shelters for homeless people, so homeless people now have shelter".

Ideally, the press would actually report on what is happening, but the incentives just aren't there for thorough and accurate reporting. You either get highly partisan press that lies or just omits important parts of what is happening because the ones paying the bills want them to, or you get an anemic press that can't do more than trawl FB or, worse, official declarations for info.
> Thus my point is if AMD ported PyTorch to their hardware (and PT is not cuda-only) it would create a more level playing field on which they could compete

It is ported (I think by AMD). I use it daily. Biggest problem is that the people maintaining PyTorch aren't very interested as they don't use it themselves. Hence there are silly bugs in it. Users contribute fixes and they get closed down as "unsupported" or get plain misunderstood.
