I think that's one difference in process, but it's not clear that the latter process leads to eventual accuracy (which is more than correctness), or that the user knows if it's accurate when they read it. As I said above, unknown accuracy makes information useless.

This is what I believe to be the cause behind most of the anecdotal stories in the comments here. Google Maps gets bombed with fake edits by people who don't want others using "their" road, so in the event of conflicts map providers have to defer to official sources.

When I was at Google I tried to track down someone on the Maps team open to adding a "Jeep Mode" that would let you opt-in to routing via roads that were unavailable and telling you why (washed out, poorly maintained, etc). Nobody seemed to like the idea.

Speculating a bit: I think the historical perspective had a much narrower focus on what could be put under copyright. That's why (in the US at least) photographs and movies (and computer code?) wasn't originally included, and only got included over time via judicial decisions.

Typefaces just naturally fell outside of the original narrow focus, and just never got moved into the focus.

> What does vim support inside a block editor means?

Users who care deeply about note taking want don't want to learn a new set of keyboard shortcuts and movements. Apps like Logseq and Obsidian (and many others) either support Vim-style movements out of the box or they're available as a plugin. Same thing with Emacs-style shortcuts and Org mode.

Folks have been using these editors for decades and they want to use their muscle memory everywhere they enter text.

Depending on the user and the use case, the lack of Vim or Emacs support ranges from a minor annoyance to a show-stopper.

Municipality of Bled... in the middle of the forrest... who the hell searches for "Municipality of bled" and wants to be pointed to a forrest? But somehow, it's probably the middle of the polygon of the actual municipality, and the label is put there and visible even when very zoomed out (along with other municipalities,... but not city names, like actual Bled - https://osmapp.org/#8.33/46.3350/14.1244 )
Right, a concussion is caused by sudden acceleration of the skull relative to the brain. The acceleration is the result of momemtum transfer, not energy transfer, and momentum is always conserved. Therefore, to first order, the key factors should be the mass of the projectile, the speed of the projectile, and the combined mass of the skull+helmet.

Spreading the impulse over a slightly longer time with energy absorbers should help a little, but im skeptical of the size of the effect without making the helmet significantly larger. Given the comparison with military helmets, It sounds like this design might be more about bleeding energy from projectiles to prevent penetration, so the sports claims seem confusing.
> For example, the IRS official fonts are Helvetica and Times New Roman. If in a hypothetical world, those were eligible for copyright, they'd still be within the duration of eligibility. Would it then be a copyright violation to print my tax form? I think that's silly, and I think the lawmakers who decided this thought the same.

That's a weird hypothetical. Obviously, in that counterfactual world, the IRS would choose fonts that were either in the public domain or had permissive licenses.

Your hypothetical sounds like if speed limits on the highway were lowered, everyone would drive at the old speed and get a ticket, instead of adjusting their behaviour.
This only works at all because there is no IOMMU for the GPU.

Unless the jurisdiction has some sort of contract with Google regarding the use of maps for public safety, I don't see how Google could be held responsible. Google does not make any guarantees about the accuracy of maps, and you use it at your own risk. That means the safety risk is on you, not Google.

Yes, it would be nice if Google would take steps to ensure the accuracy of maps and make guarantees accordingly, but it doesn't (and I don't see how it ever will unless and until maps becomes a paid application instead of a free one).

This August while traveling from Dnipro to Sloviansk, Google maps kept trying to reroute me towards the M03, which would have taken me through Bakhmut.

"Bingly-bingly beep! I've adjusted for a faster route! It will save you 12 minutes!"

"Goddammit, for the hundredth time, NO!!!" (feeling a bit like Samuel Vimes)

> It starts with unsubstantiated claims that X suffers from "bloat" despite being capable of running on a 486 and dismissing the fact that the average Wayland compositor + necessary infrastructure is much more "bloated" than X ever was.

"Bloat" doesn't mean "slow" or "memory-hungry". What "bloat" refers to is all the server-side windowing stuff that's no longer used by anything but Xaw or Motif, as well as extensions such as XRENDER that are useless nowadays. X servers carry around all of this legacy baggage that essentially goes entirely unused.

> It fails to distinguish between compositing and hardware accelerated blit operations that allow X to display multiple windows without the need for a compositor.

Compositing has been non-optional in every major desktop OS since 2006 except X. There's no point in supporting a non-compositing mode anymore, as it results in unavoidable tearing. 17 years is a long enough timespan to drop obsolete technologies.

> It talks about hardware planes but fails to mention that no Wayland compositor so far is capable of using them whereas X is using them for the mouse for a long time (which avoids mouse stuttering on high GPU/CPU load).

Huh? Weston has been using them since 2013 [1].

This is great but the waves on water are really dumb.
The only software that can go without updates is software that gets it right the first time If you're building software for yourself, this is relatively easy. Your tastes probably won't change that much even after a decade. You can probably ignore minor problems like using an O(n^2) function where there exists an O(n) because n is small. If you're writing software that other people will use, then that's where the problems come in. Other people don't have the same requirements as you, and may have a large enough N that the O(n) function makes it worth it, for example.

But regardless of if you're writing for yourself or someone else, sometimes you just can't foresee problems. Maybe it crashes processing files larger than a gig, but because you've only ever used files <100KB it's never mattered to you. Then you go in to fix the crash and it turns out you're going to have to rewrite half the thing.

This is, I think, the biggest argument against the idea that software that doesn't change is inherently better than software that changes frequently[0]: it may be that unchanging software was perfect from the first line, or it may be that there's terrors lurking in the deep, and a priori it can be difficult to tell which a particular project is.

[0] This is not to say that rapidly updating software is inherently better than slowly updating software either. There's many factors other than just update speed

I worked a graveyard shift at a factory in college one summer because it was the only job that I could really find after weeks of looking. I definitely feel for the people who did it for a living.

That said, the companies aren't going to just stop, they'll just charge higher prices. To stop producing in the third shift, they'll need to:

- add more daytime production lines, which means buying more floor space, possibly in a different location with new logistics to work out

- new capex for the new lines

- higher overhead because your newly expanded production lines are idle 30% of the time

- higher overhead from daily startup and shutdown times

This is all for companies where it is feasible to do so. Some plants measure startup and shutdown in hours, if not days. Doing a full cycle every day would mean redesigning their entire operation, if it is even possible to do so at all.

Even places like hospitals don't exactly get to choose to just turn off all the life support and lights at night.

Nice paper with a queer terminological twist:

"Monarchical Setting. [...] In this setting, there is a hierarchy among the agents, where the VQA agents act as subordinates of the Leader and the Organizer.
Subordinates only respond to questions asked by the Organizer, without the right to contribute to the final decision-making."

"Democratic Setting. An alternative structure we consider is the democratic setting. In this structure, each VQA agent has some rights. The first one is (1) right to know (RTK), i.e., the agent is allowed to access the answers provided by all other VQA agents in the previous round of mindstorm before the next round of questioning in the Task-Oriented Mindstorm stage. [...] The second right is (2) right to change (RTC). In the Opinion-Gathering stage, each VQA agent receives again all the subquestions generated during the multiple rounds of mindstorm. [...] Finally, the last right is (3) right to execute (RTE). Following the Opinion Gathering phase, all VQA agents receive a summary of the mindstorm session from the Organizer."

The problem is that Wayland predates DX12, Vulkan, and Metal.

The graphics card vendors have converged to a standard. Wayland isn't compatible with that standard. No one on Wayland is willing to throw it out and rearchitect to the new standard.
> Sweet.. the "go fast" generation is thrilled. We're optimized for a single popular commercialized case!

Yes, you should optimize for the 99% case. That is basic software engineering.

> Whoops.. we're no longer optimal.

I don't know what this means. X toolkits since GTK in 1998 have been drawing bitmaps to shared memory. The basic X 2D vector graphics primitives haven't been commonly used for, like, upwards of 20 years.

> Which, X also has. So, we've gone completely full circle, and we're less capable for it.

X doesn't have the synchronization features that necessitated Wayland. It's simply not the case that X can do everything that Wayland can do.
It would be very valuable if that was part of the tool's explanation then.

What is it that you want to know? The point is that in a society with a more socialist or communist approach, "ownership" of software can work entirely differently.

What the FSF calls "free software" and what OSI calls "open source" are essentially mechanisms for implementing such approaches in a capitalist context, in which the abstraction of "intellectual property" is enshrined in law.

Apple supports locking down MSR registers for the CPU's.

I would not be surprised if they added the same functionality to the GPU registers.

There are a tremendous number of debug registers in these things.

Apple has >1000 apple-specific MSR's for the CPUs, mostly used for debugging/testing

However, unlike the GPU, they are protected by more than just PPL. But you can use them from m1n1/etc and see what they do.

It is not surprising to find they have the same for GPU processor, the difference is that the GPU has no IOMMU, so forgetting to map a page that contains the register shadows is exploitable in a way that it's not for the CPU
To enter a country as a non-citizen is a privilege, that a country has the right to deny for any reason or none.

I don't envy the client teams that have to keep up with all these changes. Ethereum really is the most impressive open source project in the world, IMO, because it's a live system with half a dozen different clients written in different languages that all have to interoperate with each other and perform complex cryptography in short timeframes. Not a lot of space for bugs and any breaking change has to have an elaborate migration coordinated among at least 500K different validators globally.
This is surprisingly accurate for 90% of my dear searches

Huh? Wayland is a surface compositing protocol. It's like DWM/DXGI, not like DX12; like EGL (sorta), not Vulkan; and like Core Animation and the private windowing API in Core Graphics, not like Metal. Different layer of the stack entirely.
You're right, it's a backwards hypothetical. Maybe in that world, NIST would have created a font for all to use.

Presuming a suitable option existed at the time, without requiring the government to make one themselves.

It would be silly if, by default, the purchaser of a printing press has no legal right to print anything with it. Maybe we would have lived in a world where typewriter manufacturers had all of the power that publishers had/have, but even broader.

This is assuming the parents are rubes and the government is competent, ignoring the cases when it's the other way around.

In practice parents and the government agree most of the time because it's established science that no one contests, and cases where the government got it wrong are a large class of exceptions. Then people see the government forcing its rules even when they're in the wrong and lose faith in the whole system, including the general consensus. Then you get more counter-culture types fooling around with weird plants.

Whereas in the absence of coercion, the people who are right when the government is wrong are able to openly prove it without being punished, which allows the government to improve its recommendations more rapidly, which reduces how often their recommendations are wrong and thereby the number of people disregarding them wholesale after watching them be incompetent pigheaded bullies.
Valid critique. Thanks.

We actually need constant energy supply at all hours of the day and night if we want to have a modern industrialized economy with factories and refineries operating around the clock. It's generally not practical to shut down those facilities just because electricity prices are temporarily high. So, in practice all of those industries will migrate to areas with cheap, reliable power (even if it's not "green"). This has obvious national security concerns in that it makes us dependent on unreliable imports for critical materials.
