I looked up the P5 report and looked at the high and midlevel descriptions. Frankly I was underwhelmed. The Rubin and IceCube Two jumped out as interesting and exciting but the former is astrophysics with its own decadal priorities. The latter transcends particle physics due to the multimessenger aspect.

The rest? Few specifics on small to midsize research. The details are for big projects that ask "What could we do for $xB?" vs. "What do we need to do and how much might it cost?"

It's 90+ years since Zwicky's dunkle Materie, 50+ since Rubin's rotation curves. How many more deep undergound dark matter detectors can be or should be supported? MOND may be imperfect but nothing has yet panned out on the particle side, either.

Overall, it reads like no one thought through the possibility that LHC would find no new physics beyond the very expected Higgs. Astrophysics can access energies impossible on earth, lab scale experiments may probe theories (or aspects of them). That leaves traditional big science particle physics in a jam.
I don’t make any of those assumptions. My point was that I also don’t know that we can distill consciousness to strict materialism until we can find the mechanisms to explain the hard problem of consciousness.

Do you think infertility is the only consequence of cervical cancer? Do you mock children with with leukemia saying, "Oh, you feel a little tired? Get over yourself?"

For many people treatment goes smoothly and the can get on with their lives. For some they get treatment, it comes back, they get more treatment, it comes back, and they die, and there is a range of options in between. Maybe they don't die but they can no longer have intercourse. Maybe the financial strain of many rounds of treatment puts them in life-changing debt.

Don't be so glib with the misfortune of other people.
It's possible that the "minimum success criteria" or "primary objective" of the mission was to touch down intact within a radius. If that was achieved, then I think even in English it is reasonable to call the landing "perfect" in that it achieved all of the mission goals.

But that all depends on whether, "land upright and measure things with the expensive instruments we sent it with" was originally included as a primary objective and whether they've just moved the goal posts to minimize the appearance of the failure.

I just interned at the NASA office (at Ames) that designed large chunks of and did a lot of flight planning / analysis for Ingenuity. It had some really awesome people behind it and its success inspired a number of new Mars rotorcraft missions (rotorcraft will be an integral part of Mars Sample Return). Flight is going to be a huge part of future solar system exploration efforts and Ingenuity paved the way.

Only if they choose the “new” terms, they can stay on the existing terms if they want to distribute through the App Store, as it’s free so the commission change doesn’t matter.

> no (or replaceable) smart features, no forced ads / tracking, fast startup

I have a TV that takes a few seconds to boot to a screen that says I need to agree to some demands in order to see advertisements. Fortunately, there has yet to be a software update that's so heavy-handed that I can't use the built-in chromecast without agreeing to their demands.

I am really rather glad it was a gift so I won't feel bad trashing it when the time comes. It makes me appreciate how nice a dumb TV is when it's connected to a smart computer and also how important it is to provide the computer myself.
If they do/done a user survey, it would be interesting to see where all paying users are coming from. My guess is that a substantial amount of users come from hearing about Kagi on HN or in HN comments.

It's attack direction not movement direction. Pawns are the one piece where there is a difference and I'm not sure which is better ;-)
sure. but there is value in defining a useful working convention so that people can discuss, learn, and study.

Interjecting the perspective that words are meaningless constructs is rarely helpful. If someone wants directions, telling them that there is no concrete metaphysical concepts of north, south, left, or right, isnt constructive.

>it will be impossible for alternative stores to offer free apps because they will owe Apple €0.50 per install

Apple spends billions of dollars to develop iOS and allows a user to exclusively install free apps if they want. This behavior is subsidized by other users doing IAP and buying paid apps. Alternate app stores can also subsidize free apps from the money they make from IAP and from paid apps.
I referred to the hard question in my OP, and I don’t think that materialism answers either of the question’s formulation. Materialism may answer it at one point, and I would be very impressed if it does, because it is going to require perhaps new mathematics, geometry, and physics for us to get there. So far, none of our tools for measurement of any form of field has led us any closer to answering the hard question.

I'm not sure these two statements are compatible. The first is definitely true, and rna does function on a slower timescale. We can't be 100% confident that some of the complexity we don't understand in the first statement wouldn't have an impact in the second scenario, can we?
GitHub Fund 2024 and beyond: Looking to the future
You're being vague -- whether intentionally or unintentionally, I'm not sure -- and beginning to contradict yourself.

How is it that productivity as a concept is "not complicated" but also extremely difficult to measure? If productivity has a simple definition, then it should be simple to measure, right? Likewise, doesn't the difficulty in measuring it suggest that maybe it's equally difficult to define?

I am a team lead for an organization; we have 100 tickets in our issue tracker. I have three developers. In the same one-week period, Developer Alfred closed a single issue that had been open for over a year and involved a number of core systems that were interacting in a subtle way and causing intermittent outages; Developer Beth closed 5 issues that were all feature requests from paying clients; and Developer Charlie closed 50 issues that were all small bug fixes.

Which developer was the most productive?

I'm not asking for a measure here. No absolute value or unit of measure required. This is purely comparative. If "productivity" has any meaning at all -- and especially if it's "not complicated" -- then this should have a straightforward answer. How should I, as the team lead, evaluate the relative productivity of my three developers?
you already could in a way... by using altstore[0] on non jailbroken devices... It's not as straightforward as on Android but it is possible (there were even some builds of blink engine)

Apple: Calculate the fees you'll pay to provide your app in the EU
Okay, and they can keep that control while some minority choose to host elsewhere. Androids Play store (pending some anti-trust issues, ironically) still has the majority of apps there and it'd be doubtful that any android alternative store can steal that mindshare away.
Piece value is determined by how many squares it can threaten.

This is why rooks are worth 5 and bishops are worth 3, despite both having apparently equal freedom of movement (just rotated 45 degrees). The bishop will be able to access strictly fewer squares than the rook even in the best case, and usually much fewer. And the bishop is stuck on one color.

Parallelised exact search, which is good enough because calculating the hamming similarity is just an XOR+POPCNT per vector component and an addition. But of course you could put this into an HNSW graph for approximate search for >10M vectors. Or do LSH first for even larger data sets.

They will, the question that really matters is will developers. Is the case for DIY that compelling amongst European companies? I think it will cost companies more to rebuild their own walled garden then what it's worth. I suspect we're not going to see much change, and that most will stick with what they have. There doesn't seem to be any financial incentive to leave at this point.
Cutting costs I presume. Should have been announced, but I'm okay with this for my hobby projects; still better than just us-east or whatever.

How else are they gonna obligate developers to pay the core fee then.

Once tooling catches up, in theory, developers don't have a contractual relationship with apple anymore, except to get notarized.

The devices belong to the users apple sold the hardware and licensed the software to them not app developers. They could charge the users but obviously this would be a terrible idea.

Getting notarized will either directly require payment of the platform fee or will force the use of the official tools which will mandate that.
Yes, agreed on the primary problem with "classic" OCSP. OCSP stapling and must-staple (for the benefit of other readers: a flag that's set on a certificate to indicate that it's only valid with an attached—stapled—fresh OCSP response) solves that.

When must-staple initially came out, it came to light that web servers viewed OCSP stapling as a performance optimisation. When viewed from this perspective, it's not necessary to staple 100% correctly; if you don't, clients just go to the CA directly. Unfortunately, this breaks apart with must-staple and clients who refuse to talk to Cash for privacy reasons.

Browsers refused to enforce must-staple because that would mean broken web sites and they didn't want to be blamed for it. As a result, web servers didn't have an incentive to fix their broken OCSP stapling implementations.

There's also some politics involved. Browsers don't actually want CAs to be able to revoke certificates for reasons other than security. Think one government pressuring a CA in their country to revoke a certificate of an entity outside the country, for political reasons.

(EDIT I don't really support this argument. Any organisation that cares about their availability should always have two active certificates from difference CAs. There's a variety of CA jurisdictions to choose from as well.)

I don't like these long discussion chains as much as the next guy, but there's a lot of nuance and history when it comes to certificate revocation, and I sometimes take the opportunity to gently question people's beliefs. The line "revocation doesn't work" is very often repeated and technically it's not wrong, but I think it's important for people to understand how we got here.
Yes, and Epic charges a lot less for their support. We say how Unity was eviscerated for a much cheaper runtime fee, I can't imagine Apple gets away with triple the pricing.
> and unlike Ark it isn't designed to require you to quit your job and have a full guild with set work schedules just to get some cool pets.

This is a very important point, Palworld is much more respectful of you the player's time. Gone is the tedious tending of Ark's taming and breeding, or Conan's arduous process of dragging a captured thrall back to your base to throw on the wheel of pain.

On top of that it has a number of handy QoL upgrades over most survival crafters I've played, like all chests in your base sharing their inventory with all crafting stations at the base. No more hunting through all the storage in your base schlepping things into your own inventory just to craft junk.
Actually you make a good point. Nobody should be penetrating children, regardless of what the parents think — kids can get irreversible medical procedures when they turn 18.
Apple has zero leverage here. First, they are a foreign company so there is no local sympathy like in the Epic case. Secondly, the EU is already pissed off with Apple, hence the DMA. Thirdly, even if Apple doesn’t care what the EU thinks, their shareholders surely do, since the EU has the capacity to inflict huge financial damage on Apple, via fines, import bans and/or much more punitive regulations.

Fuck around, find out.
I'm not the person you responded to, but I'd also include stuff like developing the APIs developers use, Swift and SwiftUI, Xcode, developer docs, etc. Basically everything that Apple does that makes it possible for a developer to produce a high quality app on their phone. Apple has to pay for all that somehow, and that revenue has to come from somewhere. Product sales are one place, but it's a one time purchase and so there's even less incentive to support old phones. Charging per app install is a pretty easy way to do it, aligns the incentives decently well, and a cost to the developer proportional to how much users/benefit they get.

They could also just charge a large cost for access to the SDK a la console systems, or not actually track the downloads but have a license agreement where you pay based on your user base like other ecosystems (Unity?).

I would assume so.

> Also today, Apple is sharing new business terms available for developers’ apps in the European Union. Developers can choose to adopt these new business terms, or stay on Apple’s existing terms.

Nothing here suggests the new terms replace the existing terms, just that it's now a choice for developers in the EU.

I just plug my TV into a media PC with a TV tuner card. I don't let the TV connect to my network, and I treat it as a dumb display. No clue how repairable it is (almost certainly not at all), but it's lasted more than five years so far and I'm happy with it as is.

I agree that the smart features are bad, but it's at least still easy to just avoid them. Although I'll admit to not having a great solution to input/control. I currently just use a wireless mouse and keyboard, but that's less than optimal in a living room situation.
Interesting, it seems like we can "dissect" each piece into independent properties like possible directions and possible distances. Then one could generate chess set spaces randomly and have a lot of fun.

To answer your last to questions: I don’t know! And those formulations are simply, in my opinion, rhetorical variations of the hard questions too.

It’s genuinely one of the most fascinating questions out there for me right now!
The incidence rate is per year and the study was over an average of 32 years per patient. At that rate you'd expect around 105 incidents instead of 4, although there are other considerations like age to take into account.
The US Constitution says:

Article I

Section 10 Powers Denied States
Clause 3 Acts Requiring Consent of Congress

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

But TX is obviously being invaded. This is a directed action by well funded organizations.

Furthermore, the US Constitution says:

The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion
Except that this set describes the attack directions, not the motion directions. The difference is in the shape of the pawns. I think this one is quite interesting, as showing lines of threat.
Correct, and this includes app updates but they will only pay once per year. It is per "first annual install", not per install.

Given that you have to update apps every year to support new iOS versions, this is essentially an annual tax per user.
