Honestly it's probably not some kind of grand scheme. My guess is that whatever engineers or product managers decided to add the Meta Pixel in the first place had never heard of the Video Privacy Protection Act, and either didn't consult their attorneys, or their attorneys hadn't heard of it either, and now the damage is done: they're being sued, and if they lose, they owe a huge amount of money, even if they were to decide today to stop using Meta Pixel from now on, so now their attorneys are throwing whatever they can at the wall to see what sticks.

I doubt the revenue they earn from this is worth the bad PR, so I don't think it's about that, I think it's about avoiding paying damages, which could be $2,500 _per view_ if they were all disclosed to Meta -- potentially billions of dollars. It might well bankrupt the company.

If you zoom in you see a length in km next to each river. For small ones it looks like it is the total length of that waterway. For bigger rivers that I'm familiar with I was not able to make sense of that number. It is not the length, it's too big for that. Maybe it's the total length of that waterway and all connected waterways? It also does not change when I travel along that waterway.

My example is the river Neckar close to Heidelberg in Germany. The number there is:2595963 km

In reality the length of each river is measured from it's estuary. For bigger waterways in Germany you see a sign every kilometer with a number. The number is the distance in kilometers to the estuary of that waterway.
You can use the VP as a monitor for a Mac, so I guess you could at least use a Linux VM or remote into a Linux box from the Mac? Not ideal but should work fine I think.
If you don't limit yourself to only the closing one part of management, you might see the reason behind the craze
Out of curiosity, did you consider RIFF? Ostensibly it predates QTFF, but shares the same structure and concept of being a sequence of tagged chunks.

I'm curious why ISO decided to standardise QTFF for BMFF over RIFF. I also note that RIFF itself is based on IFF, from which Apple derived AIFF, which shares similarities with QTFF, so maybe that Emmy award should have gone to Electronic Arts for inventing IFF in 1985

...also, genuine question: are there any known predecessors of IFF's "chunked-sequential" file-format? (idea: reckon we'd find anything interesting in the docs for LucasArt's EditDroid's file-formats?)
This VR headset isn’t but I think spatial computing will be. IMO this Vision Pro wasn’t meant to be a big seller but a way of taking a research project into an iterative production process. The first iPhone was shit too, same with Apple Watch, and this is far more complex than either. Now it’s time to crank the price/performance/manufacturing.
What type of startup are you running? Is this a SaaS product?

As someone who does a lot of startup contracting (focusing on SaaS, but not exclusively at all), this is a bit surprising. Most of my clients use their own paper most of the time. Large customers typically push their own paper. Smaller customers don't.

Candidly, getting an explanation of the terms in a customer's version of a contract is insufficient. It's not just about what's there - it's equally important what's NOT there.
I've built a template for Obsidian accompanied by a user guide and video course, all based on my personal system.

However, we now have techniques for debugging electronics. Electronics tends to be designed to be decomposable into subunits, with some way to do unit testing.
At least in the prototype, before it's shrunk for production.
Test gear can be expensive, but it exists, all the way down to the wafer if needed.

That wasn't always the case. Electronics problems used to be more mysterious. The conquest of electronic design and debugging is what allows making really complex electronics that works.
It really is amazing that smartphones work at all, with all those radios in that little case.
That RF engineers can get a GPS receiver and a GSM transmitter to work a few centimeters apart is just amazing.

Machine learning isn't that far along yet. When it doesn't work, the tools for figuring out why are inadequate. It's not even clear yet if this is a technique problem which can be fixed with tooling, or an inherent problem with having a huge matrix of weights.
Yes, not only both of them are based on totalitarianism, they are also totalitarian systems based on ideology.

But there is more. Both began as support for the working class after World War I (in Germany). In fact, both the Communist Party and the Nazi movement fought for their influence on the workers and other disgruntled groups. They also used very similar methods like organizing strikes, providing support and shelter to the workers, using propaganda as the main method of communication, playing the nationalism card, nationalizing companies and seizing private assets for planned productions etc. Also their militaristic aggression as a means of expansion of their ideologies bears many similarities: Soviet in Afghanistan, Vietnam in Cambodia, China in Korea and beyond, etc... Even in terms of the will to genocide/mass kill the "enemies", they are not far from each other: Nazis and the concentration camps, Khmer Rouge and their killing fields, China and the Uighur prison camp/Cultural Revolution, Soviet Union and the Holodomor famine in Ukraine etc...

With enough power, both communism and fascism will tend to extremism and will not shy away from military aggression to spread their ideologies.

You’re right that it’s unfair to exceptions, of which there aren’t many in terms of cars on the road. My point was just that the combination of spatial computing + EVs is where an Apple entry starts to make sense.

For some, possibly most, needs of using raw having yuv444, 14+ (or 16+) bits of precision and lossless or near-lossless (with strong guarantees of maximum error on individual pixels) compression is supposedly acceptable. I base this interpretation mostly on digital photography discussions I have seen on the internet. I am not a photographer myself.

(12 bits of component already requires adapting to the current lighting and can supposedly slow down professional photography.)
fwiw, my wife (who I at least think is hot) gets similar reactions (fake whinnying, "I don't play with my food", etc.) from younger men and boys when out riding her horses.

Edit: we talking about this article a bit; she reports older men (40+! we do eventually learn) have a clue about how to start a conversation with an attractive woman ("that looks elegant", "how old is your horse?", etc.) so I told her how my grandmother told me inappropriate male attention at school came in the form of dipping her pigtails in inkwells.
Is this a joke? Did you read about this case? Because that is basically what happened. Some people got parts of their things back.
Elegant and pure.

I'm also a TRPG player and GM, and I have total aphantasia. I can't possibly speak for all aphantasics, but I wouldn't want you to make most of those accommodations for me if I were a player at your table.

Metaphors and analogies are very useful for me, because they provide archetypes of mental models for my understanding of the world (in this case fictional). There's nothing inherently visual in them or difficult for me.

I love to see artwork, and maps certainly help understand the geography of a scene, but I'm not sure that has much to do with aphantasia. If the GM's verbal description is good, I actually prefer not seeing pictures, so that I can fill in what I can with my own imagination.

Maybe the biggest thing that aphantasia does in this context is give me a strong filter against "useless" details. If you describe a monster with knife-like jaws, or a woman with pink bubblegum hair, that's interesting because they are potentially useful "action hooks", i.e. knowing those might influence my decisions, be it tactics or conversation prompts. On the other hand, if you describe all the random colored spots on the monster's back or tell me that the woman's hair is blond with curls "like overcooked macaroni" or whatever, those are not going to mean anything to me, and they're going to bore me.
All shipping in that area is being attacked not just Israeli-tied ships. Also if someone uses violence to terrorize you into complying with their beliefs that is literal terrorism and it's bad.
"No" seems easy to say right now, but technology is accelerating at a breakneck pace. If AGI can happen within a decade, I reckon 2030 self driving is not a crazy bet at all.

It would be more correct to say that PNG uses the GIF algorithm than that WebP uses the PNG algorithm.

WebP's select predictor and some other predictors are used in JPEG XL. The same for 2d locality map in backward references.

Both are able to use delta palettes. JPEG XL goes further by having a mixed mode where some entries are deltas for smooth gradients while others are usual palette entries.

The problem I always have with this is that my maximum bandwitdh is not a constant. I am technically getting 1200Mbps/20Mbps from Comcast (ugh, gross), but I usually do not see that. Sometimes my max download is significantly less than that. So let's say I normally see 1100Mbps down. So let's say I set my CAKE max to 90% of that, or 990Mbps. Then during a peak time of day, my max bandwidth drops to 1000Mbps. 990Mbps is no longer the right setting, and my latency goes to hell again.

So do I set my max to 900Mbps all the time? I'd really rather not.

And this is worse for the upload bandwidth, as there's so precious little to spare of it.
Their legal argumentation is extremely weak. That said, if they do end up having to pay $2500 per violation they'll probably go bankrupt...
I'm also interested in this. It's literally the only thing holding me back from getting one. If I spend $3k+ on a machine I don't want it to look like an off-brand Macbook.

I've never heard of this person or organization and I don't really see what this article has to do with "brave spaces" except to be a good example of someone that I wouldn't trust to be a neutral arbiter.

That said the article isn't horrible. I think she's stretching the definition of "pogrom". The article makes no mention of rising Islamophobia.

And since the author is surprisingly sparse when it comes to enumerating examples of hate speech I'm hesitant to fully agree. There's a lot of nut jobs out there trying to redefine what is and isn't hate speech right now. Like people who want to redefine "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" as hate speech. No doubt, some of what went down at Cornell was anti-semitic.

But, if I put aside those complaints I more or less agree with her.

But... I'm not dumb enough to think that literally trying to police speech that makes you uncomfortable is somehow better than a safe space and Mrs. Anderson is walking a precarious line.

Debugging is a problem. But the real problem I'm seeing is our expectations as software developers. We're used to being able to fix any problem that we see. If a div is misaligned or a column of numbers is wrong we can open the file, find the offending lines of code and FIX it.

Machine learning is different because every implementation has a known error rate. If your application has a measured 80% accuracy then 20% of cases WILL have an error. You don't know which 20% and you don't get to choose. There's no way to notice a problem and immediately fix it, like you can with almost every other kind of engineering. At best you can expand your dataset, incorporate new models, fix actual bugs in the code. Doing those things could increase the accuracy up to, say, 85%. This means there will be fewer errors overall, but the one that you happened to notice may or may not still be there. There's no way to directly intervene.

I see a lot of people who are new to the field struggle with this. There are many ways to improve models and handle edge cases. But not being able to fix a problem that's in front of you takes some getting used to.
They increased consumption tax but made it conditional in some way I don't understand, so that taking items out of a convenience store was taxed more than eating inside it. So there wasn't a single tax inclusive price anymore.

Given Apple's emphasis on UX and UI: 100% across the board. Ask any Tesla Model 3 Owner what they like the least about their cars, and you'll hear a lot of them complain about the touchscreen-only (sorta) interface. There's some levers and thumb wheels, sure, but I abhor my touchscreen-only interface. Love the car. Hate the UI.

Apple knows how to build interfaces. Including interfaces outside of software. I suspect it'll be the primary thing they focus on in the product launch video, how they didn't screw up the UI and there will be knurled titanium wiper speed ring switchy things and tactile feedback in the damn mushroom leather wrapped heated steering wheel and Jony Ive whispering directions, seemingly inside of your head.
I tested both on Steam Deck and VOMP certainly works better on the platform since Beat 'Em Up just have easier controls and we supported Xbox gamepad anyway.

For Dwarven Skykeep controls include both keyboard and mouse and while playable from touchpads it's far from perfect. Though it's the one made in Godot and it took us 3+ years to build. :-)

Correlation, famously, is not causation.

The heart of Western 'civilisation' was once Dickensian era England which suffered poor literacy, poor child mortality rates, etc. Despite not being colonised, these things changed.

Again, the statistics you've linked do not demonstrate colonisation == good.

Indeed the bulk of the benefits kick in post war - the period associated with the death of colonial empires.

Perhaps you've provided grist to the argument that colonial governments should be removed.

British intelligence warns AI will cause surge in ransomware
"At present, generative AI is already being used to create a 'capability uplift in reconnaissance and social engineering' making both of these tasks 'more effective, efficient, and harder to detect'.”

"Improvements" in reconnaissance and social engineering indeed some plausible.

"AI is also considered likely to assist with 'malware and exploit development, vulnerability research and lateral movement by making existing techniques more efficient'.”

But regarding this claim, on the other hand, I am not sure at all. We'll see.
This is great but those are some really hard questions!

I really love this app/concept. I'm curious from your time working on the app what applications/use cases beyond note-taking you might have uncovered, that might not be obvious at first glance? (e.g. If studying a topic, creating a note of questions to quiz yourself from time to time, with the answers likely being found in semantic search.)
fq_codel should be fine on any hardware that's still operational and has enough RAM to run a currently-maintained Linux-based OS (eg. OpenWRT). It's specifically the traffic shaping (rate limiting) that tends to hit CPU limits on consumer hardware. CAKE includes a traffic shaper; fq_codel doesn't and usually needs to be paired with a separate traffic shaper.

If you have an older, slower router in your network that is not acting as your gateway router and does not need to compensate for bufferbloat in somebody else's device (eg. you're using it as a secondary WiFi access point), then you should almost always use fq_codel on that device's network interfaces.

Some devices like some cable modems have even more drastically anemic CPUs because the CPU was never intended to be part of the data plane and most traffic is supposed to be offloaded to special-purpose hardware. Those may be genuinely unable to even handle CoDel, and are a big part of the reason why DOCSIS 3.1 invented PIE AQM rather than adopting CoDel as the standard AQM.
40+ years ago I did some dumb things in school as well. But in all cases I got punished by my father. Not because I hurt somebody, but because I wasted a lot of people's time who had to deal with consequences from my actions. I didn't respect other people and their time and it was enough for my father to punish me. And he had every right to do so.

When I was a teacher some time ago some kids did a dumb things as well – they "hacked" schools' computers by putting some really sticky putty under keyboard keys. I wasn't allowed to punish these kids by ordering to clean it after themselves and parents agreed to pay for a new keyboards after weeks of "discussions" with lawyers involved.
Not to mention, it's always been easy to access the QuickTime File Format Specification, and I have seen it being used all the time by people wanting to implement MP4 (de)muxers but not having the money to buy overpriced ISO specifications or effort to hunt around for drafts of MPEG-4 Part 14.

There are subtle differences in how you should lay out some atoms (e.g. ftyp is subtly different in QuickTime, MP4 uses free instead of wide atom, some Macintosh-specific fields in vmhd(?) and related atoms are always zeroed out and marked as "reserved" in MP4, etc.). But it's easy to gloss over these differences when you do not care about the Macintosh-specific things (like QuickDraw transforms, sprites, ...)
> Up to age 12 or so you can learn a second language accent-free, but at that age an important developmental milestone cements phonemes in place.

Seems... dubious? What about people who immigrate later (like in high school) and actually pick up the sounds and accents flawlessly? I've seen folks like that and I'm pretty sure they weren't in high school at age 12.
> China is building thousands of kilometers of high speed rail seemingly every year.

Many analysts state this has been overbuilt to the point of being gross malinvestment [1-6, etc]. All of those miles require tremendous and costly annual upkeep, and the ridership numbers won't adequately subsidize these costs.

> They’re expanding their power through trade agreements rather than military force. They can manufacture whatever they want.

The results of this remain to be seen. eg. they're dumping cheap EVs on Europe because their domestic market is saturated for Chinese products; meanwhile, the West is pulling back from trade.

> From where I am sitting it looks like China keeps growing while the US declines.

The US is hardly declining. US GDP growth is an astounding 6%, which is almost unprecedented for a developed economy. The rest of your assessment feels like progressive political talking points. Moderates and conservatives would feel very differently.

> we’re too xenophobic

It's xenophobic to have an ill outlook on the Chinese economy? What if one maintains a positive outlook on the Indian, Vietnamese, and Mexican economies? Or Taiwanese? Is that xenophobic?

Emphasis mine. The Government failing to recognize it's own laws and founding principles absolutely qualifies as anarchy.

Anarchy as a state(1) of disorder predates Anarchy as a form of government for a state(2).
RTO is driven by the inertia of economies of cities themselves.

What happens when office workers no longer have to be in the office? What happens to the physical buildings, the people who maintain them, the local businesses who serve the office workers (e.g. lunch), etc? There are many knock-on effects.

WFH, on a large scale, is forcing us to rethink the concept of cities, suburbs, infrastructure, housing, transit, telecom, etc.

The fact that WFH has been shown to be viable on a large scale indicates that we are probably going to experience a massive societal shift at all levels. A shift to where? No one knows yet.
