The telescope in question was at one point the proposed Sentinel [0] (apparently now the NEO Surveyor [1]), and frankly, even for something like that, I simply don't trust Elon because of its purpose. SpaceX has a stench about it that calls into question everything they're involved in, so long as he's at the helm.

Besides, given the low weight of 1,300kg, NASA is perfectly capable of launching the NEO Surveyor on its own via the SLS [2].

Right, and I think the example here is instructive. He's not talking about rushed, shoddy, buggy code. He's talking about not taking the time to implement the right design. The resulting code might work just fine and doesn't necessarily impose additional maintenance costs, but the design issues mean that every time you're adding or modifying a feature you have to do extra work to translate from the 'correct' theoretical design of the feature to the actual design.

Unfortunately, while managers are often happy with "it'll make page load faster" or "it'll increase uptime" as a justification for a project, and "it'll reduce bug reports" and even sometimes "it'll automate manual tasks", "it'll make development easier" can be a really hard sell. It sounds pretty abstract and I think some managers start to think that it's just an excuse. It's certainly hard to quantify the impact, especially if you're expected to do that in $/yr.
For me it seems like you interpret a lot into the text as an opposition from you own believes.
It’s seems somewhat unreasonable how you claim for true values of an real working class life while typing text into a keyboard that for certain some of those cosmopolitan has invented back in the days.

You live in a too simplified model for whatever reasons imo
> Why aren't they writing "when reached for comments, the company sent some generic statement that we won't bother printing"?

Because then they'd have to make a subjective judgement about what is substantive and what is not. If they go there, then it's the journalists that get accused of bias.

Thanks for the shout-out. Obviously I agree. Multi-factor wallets are more secure than single factor wallets, by default.

Having no seed phrase vulnerability (single point of failure) significantly reduces the surface area for attack vectors. Added layers of security (like the built-in web3 firewall) help protect against Web3 attack vectors.
HP as I assume you know is a lot more than just printers. HP has betrayed their customers across the board since Fiorina. This particular offense is just one in dozens committed against customers in the last 2 decades.

HP used to be one of the great companies of the world, with great guiding principles. I learned how to use a calculator with my dad’s HP Reverse Polish Notation calculator. Now it’s a nothing company that somehow stays alive tricking their customers and treating them like idiots. It’s truly sad.

The locking is not relevant, it doesn't change whether your app remains hot/in memory or offloaded (maybe after a while, but not in itself), neither is switching between apps or opening an app from your home screen, so not sure what you mean by closing "properly"

And for hot start you shouldn't even need to tap in the document if you edited it before, the keyboard will already be opened, so the measurement is "time start, tap the app icon, tap any key, see a character appear, time end". This is a common workflow for app switching and copy&pasting from/to note app/other apps, so here even half-second delays are noticeable, and where Apple Notes shines (and only very few apps match that, but not Obsidian)

Then the cold start is where using other apps forced note app to be unloaded (or after a phone restart or "force swiping up closing" the app (think it has the same effect), here the performance difference between Notes and Obsidian is even more noticeable

They can only allocate the resources of the company, not society. And they get selected based on their track record of effective allocation of those resources.

Democracy has never demonstrated efficient allocation.
You are missing something. Happy to jump into the details if you're interested.

3D FaceLock is one of the parts of the wallet recovery process: It's a biometric liveness verification (backed by 600,000 USD bug bounty). But 1) It's only one of the factors, and 2) It's never been hacked/spoofed.

Zengo's MPC wallet uses a 2/2 signing mechanism (similar conceptually to a multi-sig). You initiate transactions from your Zengo app (inside the app is the Personal Secret Share, which interacts with your wallet's secure enclave/TEE during the signing process). The Remote Share on Zengo's server essentially co-signs the transactions.

By removing a single point of failure (private key or seed phrase) it is much more challenging for a hacker to steal/spend funds or take over a Zengo wallet - indeed... we have over 1,000,000 users (since 2018) and 0 wallets hacked, 0 wallets drained. More info here: www.zengo.com/security

Also happy to answer more qs. Cheers.
I think a more pleasant way to put this is that NEVI created circumstances where Tesla could capture more value from an open standard than from a closed one. And did so at a relatively modest cost to the taxpayer, compared to the public benefits it will produce.

PS Did NEVI (or IRA) actually mandate CCS, or did it simply mandate an open standard, which CCS was the only option to satisfy at the time?
This is an extra thing on top of everything they made. I praise them for not adding any extra costs. It is never enough for some people. They have a one off price for so much stuff. Absolutely no brainer for a lot of people.
It also enables super easy workflows. To give an example, consider working on a fork of a project from GitHub. You clone the project from its source and make some changes and commit them. Where do you push the changes? You make a fork on GitHub. Go to magit, press a couple of keys to add a remote, name it the same as your GitHub username, magit automatically sets the URL correctly.

Now you realise you've put those commits on your new master branch but etiquette says you should put them on a separate branch. A couple of keys creates a "spinoff branch". Magit automatically creates a new branch at that point, sets the upstream of that branch to the old upstream (e.g. origin/master) and resets the old branch (master) to its upstream.

Now because your remote is set as "push default" you can easily push to it. Magit will now show you if upstream (the other remote) has diverged which means you press a couple of keys to rebase on to upstream then force push to your fork.

And this doesn't even mention things like doing an interactive rebase. Magit helps immensely there. The diff "dwim" is useful too. The list goes on.
That's really not obvious; nobody trains humans on 100% their own material, but we let humans patent things.
First, this case is a nothing burger. It only recognizes the obvious fact that you can't list the "name" of some program in the list of inventors for a patent.

Secondly, most code is typically protected by copyright, not patents. And copyright is actually not awardable for automatically generated code, except if the code is a derivative of an otherwise copyright able work. So compiled machine code is protected even though it was generated by a computer program, because it is a derivative of the human-written source code.

However, if you write a program which generates all C programs of 10 lines or shorter, you would not be able to claim copyright for those programs (though someone else who manually wrote one of them would still be able to have copyright over their version - provenance is important in copyright law).

Now, I don't think this has been tested in court yet, but it's very likely that code produced by ChatGPT or Copilot would be considered a derivative of the prompt provided, and thus would be protected by copyright just as much as a compiled binary.

This reminded me of a quote from Zygmunt Bauman:

Forms of modern life may differ in quite a few respects – but what unites them all is precisely their fragility, temporariness, vulnerability and inclination to constant change. To ‘be modern’ means to modernize – compulsively, obsessively; not so much just ‘to be’, let alone to keep its identity intact, but forever ‘becoming’, avoiding completion, staying underdefined. Each new structure which replaces the previous one as soon as it is declared old-fashioned and past its use-by date is only another momentary settlement – acknowledged as temporary and ‘until further notice’. Being always, at any stage and at all times, ‘post-something’ is also an undetachable feature of modernity. As time flows on, ‘modernity’ changes its forms in the manner of the legendary Proteus . . . What was some time ago dubbed (erroneously) 'post-modernity' and what I've chosen to call, more to the point, 'liquid modernity', is the growing conviction that change is the only permanence, and uncertainty the only certainty. A hundred years ago 'to be modern' meant to chase 'the final state of perfection' -- now it means an infinity of improvement, with no 'final state' in sight and none desired.
In 1924 the inventor of the lead additive for gasoline, Thomas Midgley Jr., poured the additive over his hands and inhaled its vapors for a minute, as a demonstration at a press conference. He knew it was poisonous though.

Seems like such demonstrations, even just describing it, were de riguer in the wild west era of industrial chemical innovation.

Fun fact, Thomas Midgley Jr. also invented CFCs.
Pretty fitting for academia
I recall reading that a brand new cutting-edge process node might get 60% yield, but a completely mature node is circa 90% (if memory serves). Yields for a new process usually go up over time as manufacturing bugs are worked out.
On the other hand, if you had taken 10% of that $5000 and spent them on an Apple Watch[0] and put the other 90% into Apple shares, you'd have bought fractionally over 346 shares in 2011 which would have been worth $48,804 in 2021.

There’s no encryption in rcs (in practice) and it doesn’t support many of the things iMessage does.

Google and the carriers could have worked together to produce a non-terrible iMessage-style protocol, and could have released an iOS app that supported it. They chose not to do either of those things, and now they’re whining about the outcome.
This just isn’t true, though. CarPlay has worked beautifully for me the last 5 years.

Because they'll be roasted and accused of bias (For printing the verbatim complaints of one side, but not the rebuttal of the other.)

I was at the Planetary Defense Conference when Dr Burkey presented this work. The previous talk had been on a detailed hydrodynamics simulation which measured characteristics of rubble-pile asteroids, run on a supercomputer.

She started with something like “That was cute, wasn’t it? I am going to talk about our simulation of every photon during a nuclear detonation.” It was awesome.

Wow, thanks!

Reading the doc. Fantastic work:

"The source tree is converted to a virtual file system using the original file names, considering Pascal files only. All program and unit files of this file system are parsed and include directives are resolved"

Now, is the final state of Lisa source:

"The full source tree" "has 12 missing include files and 7 syntax errors"

Should some initiative be made for Apple to publish these missing 12 too or is it something that can be now guessed enough to fill the gaps?

So what? When I am on the road, so are all the reckless drivers. When will car manufacturers start taking responsibility for the behaviour of their customers?

Why do you only hold the vendor responsible for what happens on the sidewalk? Is it some kind of sacred space? Why do we just accept that people will behave like savages on the road running parallel to it?

Exactly. It’s very inexpensive considering what a lot of us make and how much time it can save when prototyping. It’s paid for itself multiple times over for me.
That was probably it: not being quite perpendicular. Oh well!
Honestly, with LSST coming online in the next few months, and NEO Surveyor on the way in the next decade, I think we are pretty set already for observational instruments. The big gap that I see is in software.

Blood vessel/nerve damage is likely specific to COVID, the more general energy utilisation disorders seemingly aren't, and are triggered by any kind of ongoing inflammation, and often seem to last after any sufficiently severe immune events, though it's possible that this is related to e.g. herpesviral reactivation.
Man, you just did. If your job is C++ development, yes, I absolutely expect you to be familiar with the full C++ documentation and master the parts relevant for your specific usage of it. If C++ is only part of your stack, replace familiarity with C++ specifically with familiarity of your whole stack.

I do the same with everyone, actually, myself included. Plumbers have to know the specs of their tools, materials and the regulations as well as principles of installation. And they do, the good ones at least.

And the easiest way to get that familiarity is reading the damn documenents. If you cannot be bothered with that, well, let me say I am happy I don't have to work with you.
An important distinction to make is between ChatGPT4 and ChatGPT Classic. ChatGPT4 is laughably bad, while ChatGPT Classic is matching my memories from GPT4 earlier this year.

In Europe, sure because the fees are capped. In the US you pay a fixed fee + x% which makes small transactions like this prohibitively expensive
Adam Curtis is honestly one of the greatest documentarians of our time. I first watched Hypernormalization, but then binged everything he ever made a few months ago.

I've seen too many managers fail upwards to truly believe that is true in general. In plenty of companies connections are just as or more important than being effective at allocating resources.
The js they use is mainly just showing how to hook headlessui up. Tailwind ui was never about buying fully fleshed ready to go react/etc components. They were building blocks you adapt. Guess a lot of people missed that and assume it’s copy paste. Catalyst will become that hopefully.
In practice, though, containers are given these capabilities all the time, and in infosec people do refer to these as escapes.

Generally, it’s not the stuff the container is intended to run that’s doing the escape, though. This is usually the second step, after getting local execution through a vulnerability in the application running in the container.
