Obligatory IANAL.

Copying as a matter of using the software or making archives of the software is legal.[1] There is also no practical way to police what happens and never leaves the inside of your home.

Distribution of copied software on the other hand is very illegal, and is what most so-called "archivists" (including the Internet "Archive") run afoul.

Internet Archive would be having no legal issues if they simply copied software they have a right to possess and then stored the copies in their own servers inaccessible to anyone but themselves, also known as archiving.

And no, archives do not need to be publically accessible.

I could really write a 10 page rant about how much I love this damn magazine and how I went and found gynvael on irc a year or two ago to ask if there was any hope #3 would ever see the light of day. I checked back once a month for the first 18 months or so after issue 2.

Lo and behold, here we finally are! Huzzah!

As I understand it, the CSAM feature was created because the E2EE was on the horizon. They were trying to have their cake and eat it too.

Then they choked on the cake.
What is your actual argument? That they’re willing to license the tech (despite their statement to the contrary), or that it doesn’t matter because it should be legal to refuse to sell licenses?
Great results! This is the most consistent video output I've seen so far from a single frame.
Inflation is just a hidden tax. Money printed by government mean that money already held by people will have less value. It's a legal way of stealing.

On a side note, it's a good demonstration that knowledge beats intelligence. Being smart just gives you a higher ceiling, but most people can get pretty good at almost anything if they work hard enough. The question is of course why would you do it, and do you have the motivation.

> "The U.S. has more than 4,000 small banks. That's more than any other country in the world and more than all of the small banks in the entire European Union combined."

I doubt this. Austria alone has 334 independent Raiffeisenbanks(!) (usually Ltd. or Cooperatives) and this is only considering one of our three banking sectors. In total we easily have over 500 independent banks in Austria alone and I know our Swiss colleagues have much more than this. And we're just two tiny countries.

It is true that some regulation is meant to thwart competition and keep entrenched players in power. However it is pretty far to say "almost every regulation ever". Would you prefer to live in an age where anyone can sell a tincture on the sidewalk that claims to cure any ailment? Would you prefer to have the food you put in your mouth be a gamble on its quality? Would you prefer companies be able to dump their poisonous waste anywhere they want?

We don't have to be on the side of 100% regulation is good but I hope we can see that a lot of regulation is actually making the world we live in liveable.
That reminds me of that Dropbox discussion, where some guy said it's not worth it because he can easily replace it with some FTP server.

Maintaining Ruby is a nightmare. Trying to escape that hell now.

I do like Ruby for my own projects. But I hate working on Ruby with others. It becomes more messy faster and then all that supposed “getting out of your way” goes out the window and you have to know about 9 objects, one of which is an iceberg which will need to quack at some point.

Overall, it obliterates a programmers ability at local reasoning in code, which is where I really want speed.

The idea of having to put anything on your bed and fiddling with adjustment knobs seems so wrong when there are plenty of printers out there that are good enough now where I can send a print to them and maybe check on them in 10 minutes to make sure the first layer didn't fail and be confident that they will complete. From the very first time I used it I realized that ABL is a must on any printer now.

We live on different planets. Eating in Bucharest or Sofia, one of the lower priced European capitals, will cost you far more than that.

In Paris it will cost around 200 euros, unless by brasserie you mean McDonalds. And even at McDonalds in Paris you don't get much for 25 euros.

I think you’ll find the kWh used by any water heater will be negligible, but that the peak kw of the on demand one would force you to buy giant batteries. We ended up getting a hybrid heat pump water heater. It is very efficient, but we have to wait for the water to warm up at the tap.

If it were easy to change, I’d probably put in a recirculating system that keeps the water hot in the pipes (not sure how
much electricity that wastes though).
Does anyone have reccomendation for programming / architecture youtubers in similar style?

and here I was happy to get up to 1000 in Chess.com after 2 years (only to then just hover around forever). Knowledge is power etc etc but at one point nothing replaces studying.

I've found that anything under 15 minute clocks just feels like brain poison to me, though. Your brain goes completely into pattern matching mode and lose out on the actual interesting tactical analysis you can do when you're taking a bit more time. I have been queueing up daily games instead and it's nice. Games take a month to resolve but if you just continuously add to the queue that's good.

EDIT:

> I learned a bunch of openings with White for 6 months or so, also via Chessable. Amazingly I won more games with Black, where I had learned nothing, than with White. I got frustrated with this, and switched my openings entirely. It had literally no impact on my rating, and I continued to improve.

I felt this so much recently. I got kind of obsessed with the Evans gambit, and would still lose to people who would play into the gambit and let me go down the lines I knew well. I'd just flummox later on. The game below a certain point is really just "don't blunder as much as the opponent"
Maybe for power users, sure. But for regular people (Apple’s biggest market) it’s not an issue: they just register their devices and don’t have to worry about it.
Not the most neutral article.

Worth to note that is not just some obscure small company coming out of nowhere to capitalize from Apple. Masimo is a decades-old medical equipment company, with several developments and patents for non-invasive PPG.
Apple is obviously well-aware of their developments, and was in touch with them already in 2013, more than a year before the launch of the Apple Watch.

From the actual lawsuit filed by Masimo in 2020 [1]:

"In 2013, Apple contacted Masimo and asked to meet regarding a potential collaboration. Apple told Masimo that Apple would like to understand more about Masimo’s technology to potentially integrate that technology into Apple’s products. Apple and Masimo later entered into a confidentiality agreement, and Masimo’s management met with Apple. The meetings included confidential discussions of Masimo’s technology. After what seemed to Masimo to have been productive meetings, Apple quickly began trying to hire Masimo employees, including engineers and key management."

If possession of a laptop allowed that sort of access, the thief could just unlink the device from apple id.

> iphones and imessages are incredibly easy to automate for spam

You lost me here. iMessages in particular are not able to be automated because they always require user input before they’re sent.

There are very few OS processes that have an escalated privilege which allows sending iMessage without user input, but given the lack of widespread iMessage spam vs. SMS spam, it seems those processes aren’t actively being exploited.

Even iPhones in general are actually very hard to automate.

So honestly I have no clue what you’re talking about.
I mean, I wouldnt care if all of the cards were worthless as long as all of the packs are free. Winning tournaments (esp local ones) currently feels bad and unrewarding because a pack of cards is $5 to buy but contains $0 value. Investing implies buying and selling for the sake of profitmaking, whereas I really like the idea of cards fluctuating in value due to organic changes in the game so that you can trade a doubling season for 2 tutors, and then if for some reason one of those tutors goes for a long time without a reprint, you may be able to trade that tutor for a doubling season and another tutor! Like, Im not gonna go on to TCG player and buy cards for the sake of speculatively investing and holding value, but it doesnt feel good when packs are $5 a piece and contain $0.50 of cards. It feels even worse to draft for $40 and walk away with $3. ON AVERAGE a pack of magic cards should hold its value, and over time eventually go up.

Meaning if I spend $500 on packs of cards, I should get $500 worth of cards on the secondary market immediately (or even slightly less, like $300 would be reasonable), and then if I hold that for 5 years, it should be like $700. This is how it has been for all of magic's history pre-Throne of Eldraine (nothing particular about that set, but that is the last set that I really see this happening on)

>Personally, I think this is going to end up making American labor extremely uncompetitive on the global market.

As long as most countries depend on the US and most international transactions and lending is done in USD, that does not matter. US can buy in dollars and then print some to cover their debts.

The only threat to this model is OPEC selling oil in other currencies and BRICS countries establishing a parallel financial system. But then, that's why US has the army and the three letter agencies, to assure against that.

Design patents cover, for example, the famous Coca-Cola bottle. Everyone can make bottles, they just can't use that exact shape.

What Samsung did that forced Apple to enforce their design patent was copy the design EXACTLY down to the _exact_ radius of the corners.

All they had to do was not 100% copy Apple's design, just by changing the ratios a bit and they would've been unaffected.

It’s not decentralized so somebody’s server has to take the hit even if the protocol is about as barebones as it gets. You’re also missing some basic features like usernames & rooms having collisions—heck usernames & rooms can’t even contain Unicode which hurts accessibility.
Oh they still do: I work in a giant bank, in Hong Kong, and you would be surprised by the diversity of people. Squeezing blue collar people via unsound consumer loans is a common misconception of what our job is (at least that's what I assume your view is?): very often we finance factory projects led by people we've worked with before, we fight our bosses, we resist corporatist apathy, and we don't always just try to get a high margin for a low effort / low quality service.

I've seen true honor, sincere client relationship, difficult pricing decisions, painful loss swallowing, etc. Banks are really made of humans, and I invite you to try working in one one day: it is really interesting, and I dare say really useful to society, even if I know most people smirk when I say this...
The word "Great" has to be qualified here. Reading the article, I don't believe the author means to say you can "work" your way to actual greatness - say being the best in the world at something, or one of the world's leading experts in a tough field.

Rather greatness here is simply being close to one's true potential. Whether you are Lebron James or a random bench-warmer, the trick is to show up everyday and consistently improve. LeBron is great because his floor is higher than most other player's ceilings. There are many players who can give a brilliant performance on their day, but can't do much on others. If you've watched any sport, the great players are very very good even on their worst days. On their best days, they are unbeatable.

If you can identify the area where you can achieve the same and put in the work, then you're on the path to greatness (at your level).
But I can't navigate to that - neither by clicking, nor by keyboard navigation.

Good article on the basic nature of software projects, they never seem to end unless you decide them to end. When to do that ? Who the hell knows, it took me about 10 years for my own project to reach a state where I could say "This is done now, I am satisfied with the goals I set to reach 10 years ago".. And even that came through because I was exhausted working on the project, spending so much time on it.

I think you have to decide at some point: "This is done."

Maybe it requires stripping out some parts, or major parts, of the software you had in mind to reach that, but I feel it has to be done at some point, the feature creep will settle in otherwise and you will never be done.
It's worth to read the detailed case.

Masimo is not a small company coming out of nowhere to capitalize from Apple, they're a decades-old medical equipment company. The case outlines how Apple met with them in 2013 to discuss collaboration. After that meeting, Apple apparently hired away several key-members of Masimo with knowledge about their non-invasive biometric monitoring tech, including their "Chief Medical Officer and EVP for Medical Affairs", who already joined Apple in that same year...

The case claims violation of various patents for non-invasive blood data-collection via LEDs of specific wavelengths and photo-diodes in a specific geometry, patents to reduce power consumption of pulse oximeters as well as patents to detect when a pulse oximeter probe is misaligned on a patient.

But most of all, they can demonstrate in the evolution of the Apple Watch how Apple launched their initial generation without such optimizations but found them to be necessary later-on, so it seems Masimo's patents are not that obvious.

Sounds like not a bad idea for the tool, but very niche.

Theoretically, something similar can be achieved with a read-only partition, or a read-only installation (e.g. Fedora Silverblue). I won’t argue that may include more competency than just throwing some ISOs at the partition. But for me, that feels like a more comfortable way of having a rescue system at hand. I have an Arch installation USB for the same reasons, to save my Arch installation if anything happens. I had been thinking of creating a separate USB with Arch installed, but I’m not sure it’s needed. As in reality all of my maintenances were to boot, chroot and update or downgrade some things. In case I need a GUI, I use a Fedora installation. I assume your scenario is more like that.
1 - Very true, but in some ways its helpful, as provides an opportunity to highlight some of the poorly setup constraints in downstream applications. Like changing the compiler used for a major project, and seeing a 1000 warnings at once. In this case, the applications that will suffer are the ones that compares floats and float-arrays without absolute and relative tolerance intervals.

2 - Also true, but the SimSIMD library covers the absolute majority of mobile, desktop, and server CPUs produced in the last years.
The existence of HFT definitely is a net positive, but I think it's a tough argument to say that further latency reduction still has any real positive offshoot, so I'd say that it's now as a whole in a zero-sum regime - anyone winning, on the margin, only makes them profit as much as someone else is losing, whereas earlier you could say that tighter spreads and more liquidity helps other market participants.
