> With some additional safeguards in the protocol and in what sites are allowed to be the ID checking sites it can even be made so that someone who gets records of both the social media site and the third site can't use timing information to match up social media accounts with verifications and so could work with sites that allow anonymous accounts.

I'm assuming that there will be some kind of way to prevent matching of logged IP addresses between the social media site and the verification site. Is there really a method for preventing matches of timing without requiring the user to bear the burden of requesting tokens from the sites at different times?

As I hinted at in a different comment [1] though, there remains a tradeoff of letting the verification party know how frequently I visit a single type of website vs. avoiding the first problem but needing my ID for multiple types of websites i.e. more of the internet.

Japanese business practices are backwards in many ways, but leadership at least exhibits a sense of personal responsibility when things go wrong.

It was EDGE and didn't have enough memory to run the browser well, which caused significant slowdowns. Granted, it was still better than literally every other phone browser at the time, but that didn't mean it was a good as it could have been. The iPhone 3G was a significant upgrade.
> Amazon’s presentation said the average ad load per hour is expected to be between two and three-and-half minutes, which would be meaningfully smaller than traditional television and most other streaming services. Some commercials would appear before a program begins playing, while others would interrupt it.

I wouldn't mind so much if they were all preroll. I understand that they might interrupt a movie halfway through (because otherwise the preroll would be 6 minutes long), but I really hope they don't interrupt shows.
Who says they don't want to be in the market? Facebook has one product. Their income is entirely determined by ads on social media. That's a perilous position subject to being disrupted. Meta desperately wants to diversify its product offerings - that's why they've been throwing so much at VR.

Usage is what we track directly, and then we apply the cloud provider's billing rules for the given service (e.g. S3) to calculate the resulting costs. So utilization rates for something like a Kubernetes cluster are easy to derive with the data already collected - just take the usage we've tracked and divide by the total resources available to the cluster. We haven't finished the k8s offering yet, but this would be a great feature / view for us to include (the same goes for most other compute offerings, e.g. EC2, ECS).

The same goes for on prem. We don't have any on prem customers currently, but it would be easy to add a feature where you input the total capacity and/or monthly cost of your on prem infrastructure, and use the collected usage data to calculate utilization rate and "effective cost" incurred by each feature, customer, etc. Thanks for the questions!
Direct Manipulation (1997)
"I am concerned about the anthropomorphic representation: it misleads the designers, it deceives the users; it increases anxiety about computer usage, interferes with predictability,
reduces user control, and undermines users' responsibility—which I think is central. I think anthropomorphic representations destroy the users’ sense of accomplishment; I think users want to have the feeling they did the job—not some magical agent."
The 2004 indie film Primer is a very good take on this.
Television clearly did something pretty significant to society. Cable news makes the country more polarized, that we didn’t do anything about it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a problem. We just missed and now the problem is baked into the status quo.

Video games are typically fiction, so the ability to pass propaganda through them is usually a little more limited. It isn’t impossible, just different.

Social media is a pretty bad news source for contentious issues. We should be pretty alarmed that people are getting their news there.
Absolutely not. Even without App store iPhone was significantly better than Windows Mobile 5/6.

Devices were much worse compared to even first gen iPhone. Ironically, it only for worse because the industry decided that using their shitty resistive touchscreen with UI even worse than previous models - menus had large buttons, but apps were built for stylus.

BSDs aren’t going to be functionally different from Linux in terms of desktop prettiness/animation as the two run the same DEs.

GNOME is probably the most polished in terms of aesthetics, animations, and gestures. The downside is that it’s much more a tablet OS experience with a few desktop affordances — kind of like iPadOS if it were turned into a desktop OS — than it is a traditional DE. As such expect for various power user features to be diminished or absent compared to macOS or Windows. Pantheon also ranks highly here, with similar limitations.

KDE comes in second. Compared to GNOME it still has a number of rough edges in terms of aesthetics but is comparable to Windows in terms of overall capabilities and design.

Third would be Cinnamon, which attempts to blend a more Windows-like desktop with GNOME-like polish, but last I knew this project is understaffed which has resulted in it falling behind a bit. Also requires X11, unlike GNOME and KDE which work well with Wayland.

We implemented a query optimizer with a flexible intermediate representation in pure Go:

https://github.com/dolthub/go-mysql-server

Getting the IR correct so that it's both easy to use and flexible enough to be useful is a really interesting design challenge. Our primary abstraction in the query plan is called a Node, and is way more general than the IR type described in the article from OP. This has probably hurt us: we only recently separated the responsibility to fetch rows into its own part of the runtime, out of the IR -- originally row fetching was coupled to the Node type directly.

This is also the query engine that Dolt uses:

https://github.com/dolthub/dolt

But it has a plug-in architecture, so you can use the engine on any data source that implements a handful of Go interface.
It is for the people using it. Also it's yet another example of the death of open standards and interoperability.
I'm 4 for 5 on that list (including being old). If I wanted to order in a kiosk, I'd be at McDonalds. I tip 20%+, but happy to tip less for less service. (Yea, I know, tips are really a byproduct of owners not paying wages)

I never scan QR codes, because you never really know where that code goes unless you printed it.

(And for what it's worth, most McD's have flipped their counter service with a human to be the same queue as the drive through. I just tell them I have cataracts and can't read the board, tell them triple cheeseburger, small fry, etc. My order goes in as the next car, but they bring it to the counter. On a busy day I get my food way ahead of anyone that used the kiosk, or walked in and used the app. )
I understand not wanting to support the feature but why lock it out so aggressively? Put it behind a developer settings toggle and throw up a warning.

Why don't they structure deals as a multiplier of VOO?

"We will acquire you for 2 million shares of VOO"

Controversial take:

Meta sees this as the way to improve their AI offerings faster than others and, eventually, better than others.

Instead of a small group of engineers working on this inside Meta, the Open Source community helps improve it.

They have a history of this with React, PyTorch, hhvm, etc. All these have gotten better as OS projects faster than Meta alone would have been able to do.
I sure do. We've finally got to a place where we don't need weird hardware tricks to containerize workloads -- this is why a lot of shops pursue docker-like ops for production. When I buy hardware, long-term maintenance is a factor, and when my whole operations fleet relies on ESX, or in this case a Solaris fork, I'm now beholden to one company for support at that layer. Buying a rack of Supermicro gear and running RHEL or SLES with containerized orchestration on top means I can, in a pinch, hire experts anywhere to work on my systems.

I have no reason to believe Oxide would be anything but responsive and effective in supporting their systems, but introducing bespoke software this deep in the stack severely curtails my options if things get bad.

On a 33B model at q4_0 quantization, I’m seeing about 36 tokens/s on the RTX 3090 with all layers offloaded to the GPU.

Mixtral runs at about 43 tokens/s at q3_K_S with all layers offloaded. I normally avoid going below 4-bit quantization, but Mixtral doesn’t seem phased. I’m not sure if the MoE just makes it more resilient to quantization, or what the deal is. If I run it at q4_0, then it runs at about 24 tokens/s, with 26 out of 33 layers offloaded, which is still perfectly usable, but I don’t usually see the need with Mixtral.

Ollama dynamically adjusts the layers offloaded based on the model and context size, so if I need to run with a larger context window, that reduces the number of layers that will fit on the GPU and that impacts performance, but things generally work well.
Yes lots of things in that ad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ2z1be2EXQ) are impossible with the UK teletext they're trying to emulate, generated by a Mullard SAA5050 (there were others). It also takes a whole character (for the control code) to switch foreground or background colours. The fonts and graphics pixel sizes are all over the place, the only 'pixel' art available used a 2x3 grid within each character..

If they wanted a more faithful font there are plenty around, I've even done a couple myself: https://github.com/glxxyz/bedstead and https://galax.xyz/TELETEXT/

Also, although the original iPhone had a full browser, it was pretty slow. Not only was the data slow, but the phone itself was hamstrung by insufficient RAM which caused way too much swapping on complex webpages. Making a webapp that performed adequately was difficult to say the least.

Seems strange to me too but it sounds like the end-users basically never interact with this - it's just firmware humming along in the background. As long as its open-source and reasonably well documented its already lightyears ahead of what else is out there.
It's insane that we spent a good 30-40 years or so on the open-office concept. It's like the setup of school but without the structure of everyone having quiet time at the same time. That level of density only works when someone's directing the chaos.
Homeless shelters in north america are missing a feature. Many features are possible.

Switzerland for example uses their bomb shelters as homeless shelters.

But north america doesn't have that same war fears. We don't have bomb shelters everywhere.

One thing which always made me curious. Why don't storage lockers act as cheap housing? It's 1 light, maybe an outlet. But they all disallow people living out of them.

Homeless have their stolen shopping carts full of junk. Wouldnt storage spot of 8'x8' be enough to at least offer people housing when they need it? Safely store their stuff and get out of the elements. Constructing these is trivial as well. We could produce a ridiculous number of storage lockers at virtually no cost. People can use them for whatever reason they want.

This is a drum that mass media beats every few years because it’s low hanging fruit.

It all comes down to the survivorship bias. In 10 years, we’re going to see a lot of these currently-new cars and admire how many of them are still on the road. In reality, the lemons were weeded out, poorer-selling models were cut and forgotten, and what is left is solidly in the middle of the bathtub curve[0].

Agreed, some are easy to classify like nude content, but what about a website about war history, that content is simultaneously factual and explicit. This is why I say its up to the website owner to register for the blacklist. That in itself has an incentive to reduce the surface of liability of the website.

Social media is a hard problem. What is exactly the issue? Is it creating a larger social hierarchy than children can cope with? Is it meeting and interacting with strangers? Is it reinforcing dopaminergic pathways from superficial digital content and approvals?
We solved that exact problem with our open source tool Resoto. Specifically our "Defrag" module, which cleans up unused and expired resources:

https://resoto.com/defrag
https://github.com/someengineering/resoto

The magic behind the clean up is Resoto's inventory graph - the graph captures the clean up steps for each individual AWS resource.

One of Resoto's users, D2iQ (now part of Nutanix), reduced their monthly cloud bill by ~78%, decreased from $561K to $122K per month. There's a step-by-step tutorial on our blog how they did it.

I very much doubt Ionic is visually indistinguishable from native UI components, but I'd love to try if you have a good demo link.

My guess is it crosses a "good-enough" threshold for usability, and it feels objective, ex. maybe scroll performance is the same.

I strongly believe users notice things feeling "off" in a way that's either subconcious or hard to communicate, and that's why it matters.

The reason why I use Flutter instead of JS is for a number of reasons beyond perf / native controls. The shortest version is iOS / Safari makes web apps extremely obviously a worse version of a native app.

But I'm picky.

I just upgraded macOS and got a "you must accept new T&C" dialog. Accidentally scrolled on it vertically. It did the rubberband effect showing a white background, and I said to myself: "lo, how the mighty Apple has fallen!"

The primary perk for a more expensive unit is the ability to modulate that fan speed based on the particulate level in the room, IMO. I've got a couple of units that I paid ~$140 for which can step their fan speed up and down based on the measured air particulates. Most of the time, they're running at low speed and are effectively silent - just cycling the already-pretty-clean air in the room at a low rate - but if something causes a spike in particulates (say, cooking), they'll crank up to a significantly higher speed (and level of noise) until the air is cleared.

If you've got a box fan running all the time anyhow and don't mind the noise, though, strapping a HEPA filter to it makes plenty of sense.

Looking at the source for that, it's actually a front disc, rear drums combo which isn't entirely unknown. Ford (at least in Europe) seem like it, with stuff like the Fiesta and Focus using the same combo. As I understand it the logic is discs all round is overkill for smaller cars, and the rears need a drum anyway for the handbrake, so they just go for a split setup.

But most cars have discs all round anyway.

I go as far to say that minus a few people with god-like patience if you're not tired and exhausted from parenting and regularly don't enjoy it, you're probably not a good parent. It's like my boomer dad telling me to have more kids and how wonderful it is. Sure, it's super fun when you never change a diaper, never cook, never clean, never watch the kids alone, never take them to an appointment, never help with potty training, etc...
Hard to say about the passthrough. The MQ3’s passthrough is terrible from an eye chart perspective but the latency and spatial perception are good enough you can throw and catch a ball without any trouble. The Apple Vision has cameras far away from the eye centers to support the front screen so it’s going to have to work harder to reproject images and it may be functionally worse. We’ll have to see.

Yes, experimental plane regulations deal with exactly this. There is airspace that is closed to them, you cannot simply fly them over your local downtown area.

Lots of Americans live in very rural, remote areas and several own their own airstrips far from any populated areas. If you're crop-dusting your own fields on a 5000-acre ranch then no one cares when your plane was last serviced aside from the pilot.

I've been saying for years now that Apple is not a tech company, they're a fashion company. Alternatively, they make tech fashionable, which means abandoning function in favor of form.

Actual UX is unimportant. It just has to look nice.

What infuriates me is when other companies then start to copy them. I'm looking at you, Microsoft. With Windows 11, it seems you have forgotten that many of your users stick with you because you're not MacOS. So why would you want to start imitating MacOS?
