One other reason to add that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

I'm waiting on solid state batteries. They solve pretty much all the limitations of the current battery tech (temperature issues, charge times, max charge cycles / battery degradation).

Whenever EVs with solid state batteries start rolling out the value of vehicles with legacy (current) battery tech will just absolutely plummet. I would also hate to drop tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle that's vastly inferior to the next gen offerings. I buy cars for life so I don't want to trade up to the latest thing when it becomes available, I want to buy something great to begin with.

O hey WinRAR!

On a more serious note, cool app. The iconic WinRAR notice to purchase a license would be a nice easteregg.
A few things that pop up for me:

1. Tabs in browser and other applications.

2. Font rendering, hinting, anti-aliasing and subpixel rendering. Together with high-resolution screens for more people.

3. Better multi-threading for applications. Back in the day, one application crashes and everything is stuck. Improvements here are part of user experience, though not directly UI.

4. Less crashing and vague errors in my experience, much more refined software (if you pick your choices right).

5. Smooth audio and video, together with much better support for codecs out of the box.

6. Better plug-and-play, no internal isa cards anymore, external all usb or similar.

7. Many more options for free software and gratis software, but choices for commercial still exist.

8. App stores which makes discovery and installation easier for users.

That many things have turned for the worse, does not mean there are no things that turned better.
They removed participants with childhood-onset obesity to control for this discovered factor being innate.

While this study needs further follow-up, it’s a good starting point to uncover more of the psychological/neurological effects of obesity.

I think only some people who carry extra weight claim to battle hunger.

> where it is assumed people are rejecting the natural feelings of satiety and deliberately eating beyond the natural feelings of fullness... A lot of the "science of obesity" has historically hinged on the notion of gluttony or of eating disorders,

I don't like the term gluttony here. I also don't think they deliberately eat past fullness. It's hard to explain, but it models pretty well like a drug addiction.

IMO most drug users that struggle with addiction aren't necessarily "going hard". There's typically more to the story, just like food. It may not be some deep darkness in their soul, though it often is.

Things like the attention you pay, your feelings, societal norms, etc. all factor in. So eating disorder might be appropriate in this case, but you have to accept "mild eating disorders" which most people in the USA probably have (and at least 20-50% of w. Europe, and growing); however perhaps not an eating disorder as we traditionally think.

P.S. I'm not discounting the "hungry bois", as I understand they are out there too. It's probably about half the people "disordered" and half the people hungry; though it probably isn't a dichotomy
Flowers aren't beautiful. We experience flowers as triggering a subjective sensation we label beauty. Which is not the same thing.

I'm fascinated by how our brains get from "A beautiful woman" (feel free to modify according to gender and sexuality) to "A beautiful building."

Beautiful humans - whose attributes aren't necessarily physical - are mostly just high quality potential mating partners.

A beautiful building will have proportion, texture, and rhythm. But it's quite a reach to get from one to the other, even if you start from "symmetrical faces are attractive."

Somehow the experience became abstracted. Or certain features did.

And then you get music, which is even more abstract.

How does all of this work? I have no idea. It's fascinating, but hugely under-researched.
It was forked over 10 years ago now. I doubt their shared past is even recognizable now.

> But one could not do that and be just as vulnerable. Same as you can use a PIN on BitLocker and be safe in this case.

Right, but BitLocker is vulnerable by default whereas LUKS is not, because BitLocker relies on a TPM without a PIN by default whereas LUKS relies on a password by default. Yeah, technically this attack ain't BitLocker-specific, but I don't know of any other FDE implementation that defaults to using a TPM without a PIN/password.

That's entirely plausible. The next No Starch published book I read may also be terrible. But, I try to recommend what I can (that I've read) and allow readers (present and future) to make their own judgements.

Best case scenario, you've found a new resource. Worse case scenario, you learn what works for you.
The thing about hybrids is that while you get the benefits of a gas engine (not needing to charge), you also get most of the combined drawbacks of ICE cars and EVs. You still need to go to the gas station, change the oil, maintain the belts and filters, etc. If you're mostly driving in EV mode, stale gas could even be an issue (though that's probably not a huge concern for most). But you've also still got electric motors and battery that could fail, although admittedly the battery is a lot cheaper.

IMO hybrids could have a lot of life as a stopgap, but full EVs are pretty clearly where things are going. We've got chargers being installed (Tesla 4th Gen) that can charge at 600kW. Cars can't handle that yet, but the current 800V platforms are getting closer. Once you can get the better part of a full charge in less than 10 minutes, it's not really less convenient than stopping for gas on a trip. And as more people get EVs (and even PHEVs), more buildings will be equipped with charging. Even a regular 120V outlet is fine for most people for day to day overnight charging - especially if they can get a quick top-up to near full at a supercharger when needed.

Summary: hybrids are great for a lot of people right now and in the near future. In the medium to far future, EVs are going to be superior in, I think, all relevant metrics^. (Even cost, as batteries will get cheaper, while the cost of added hybrid components will stay roughly flat.)

^Well, except weight and sound, specifically thinking of sports cars. I'd be a lot more excited about the new electrified Porsche 718 (Cayman/Boxster) platform if it were hybrid instead of full electric, for those reasons. Not super relevant for commuter cars though.
Actually... machine learning.

One would think its all GPU. But you'd be suprised how single-core-speed limited parts of certain tasks are.
That seems like a fairly disingenuous take, given that the upgrade banner on YouTube also suggested upgrading to IE8 or Firefox.

If anything, Microsoft was probably grateful that the YouTube announcement pushed so many users to upgrade to a newer version of MSIE.

What's the point of building more housing if it's all owned by the same handful of investment firms? In my community, over the last few years, one investment firm has spent billions, purchasing nearly 60% of the rental properties. There's smaller players that also own a significant chunk. These handful of investment firms control the rental market, setting the price however they want, since their product (housing) is a necessity and the alternative (competition) is nearly non-existent.

Local political leaders tried to pressure the investment firm to lower the rents, but they responded with "fair-market rent, blah blah blah", and nothing changed. The shameful thing is that the web page of the large investment firm (sorry, don't have a link) basically spells out their strategy: "Purchase rental units in small, low-ish income communities. Raise the rent. Profit. Rinse and repeat." The web page boasted about huge returns; it didn't talk about "fair-market rent, blah blah blah".
Operating system and programming language are also external dependencies.

No, just like the aircraft or aircraft carrier did not end surface sea power. It certainly changed the game, however.

We've been "in the missile age" since the 60s. Well demonstrated during the Falklands campaign with the loss of the HMS Sheffield to an air launched Exocet missile in '82. Mind, what killed that ship was fire (started by the missile, the missile also took out the main fire fighting system) and, again, the ship was not as prepared as it should have been to defend against the attack. Two missiles were launched, one missed.

The Phalanx came out in '78. The Navy has been working the missile problem for a long, long time. In the 80's the nightmare scenario was several dozen Backfire bombers launching several hundred missiles at the fleet from long range. Later, it was missile patrol boats. Now its drones.

Warfare is ever evolving. Tanks aren't dead yet either, despite drone and Javelins. But the land (and water) scape is ever shifting.

All it needs is more battery capacity, which apparently they are indeed investing in.
And likewise, you might be missing the point. This paper doesn’t really seem to add any useful knowledge to the corpus, and its methods are extremely unlikely to be useful at all for any of the purposes you are suggesting or imagining. We’ve already had gzip for a long time, and we already know it does not make a good predictive model for anything except storage space.

Like I would totally agree that there’s value in predictive models. I just don’t think the work we’re commenting on is one of those, nor headed toward making one.

I've just searched for official ECC support on
* 8700G https://www.amd.com/en/product/14066
* 8600G https://www.amd.com/en/product/14071
* 8500G https://www.amd.com/en/product/14086
* 8300G https://www.amd.com/en/product/14091

5xxxG are also known for missing official support, only PRO favors have it.

Since ECC is for robustness I'd really prefer when both AMD and ASUS/ASRock/Gigabyte/MSI/... mention ECC support in the specification. Last time I've checked, only ASUS did mention it for consumer AM5 mainboards. (Gigabyte did it for (at least) one simple but expensive server mainboard.) While for AM4 it wasn't such an issue for other manufacturers too.

Then how am I not just swapping YAML gobbledygook for Unison gobbledygook here..?

I understand the general idea of expanding the scope of programmable code onto the infrastructure layer, that makes total sense to me. But then, you’re just shifting complexity from the developer to your cloud service, and hide it behind a proprietary platform (which I don’t mind, all the best for your business!). And I don’t really understand how that will make things better, all things considered.

Could someone explain this to me?

A part of their damage claim is based on the costs incurred by this so-called cyberattack. "These hacking attacks [scraping mostly JSON] materially affected OCLC’s production systems and servers, requiring around-the-clock efforts from November 2022 to March 2023 to attempt to limit service outages and maintain the production systems’ performance for customers. To respond to these ongoing attacks, OCLC spent over 1.4 million dollars on its systems’ infrastructure and devoted nearly 10,000 employee hours to the same." Also "During this time, customers threatened and likely did cancel their products and services with OCLC due to these disruptions."

Those are probably the most valid angles to push here. Mostly the invested time and money since they are actually quantifiable, as opposed to the people who maybe probably definitely canceled their service because of the disruption.
> To get the remaining 1/2 of car owners we'll need lamppost and curb electric chargers

Don't forget apartments. Lamppost and curb chargers won't help them, and only the wealthier apartment owners would even consider installing sufficient chargers in their parking lots. And if there's a smaller number of chargers that have to be shared amongst the tenants, that eliminates overnight charging and increases friction (both for charging and among the tenants).

12% of the US population lives in apartment buildings. Not a huge percentage, but a rather large number of people.
There were substantial differences even from day one. As I recall one of the differences of opinion that was a driving cause of the fork was the multiprocess model; WebKit team wanted that to be part of the framework, letting any WebKit-embedding app get it for “free”, whereas the Blink team wanted it to be part of Chromium with non-Chromium users of Blink needing to bring their own multiprocess.
You could make the case for the opposite:

- there is a housing shortage

- as a society, we should make sure that resources are available for the ones who need it most

- people who earn more money, deliver more value to society (not necessarily true of course, but well, capitalism)

- as a society, houses should be available for the highest earners first

Therefore, everyone should increase prices as much as possible. Until you cannot sell or rent to anyone, then you lower slightly until you can.

Maybe it's because I'm not native, but for me "it seems" doesn't convey any possibility. It states a fact, something that happened, but with some sort of "surprise" tone, like "we didn't expect it, but you don't have permission".

A quick internet search tells me that "it seems" can be used in many context with many slightly different interpretations, so _it seems_ that it's not a good option after all.

We recently did a series of blog posts exploring how our remote programming model makes us a good fit for writing distributed map - reduce like programs.

https://www.unison-lang.org/articles/distributed-datasets/

One of the real strengths of individual parts of your program being content addressed, and our ability system that lets us track side effects, we can have a programming model where you only need to talk abstractly about where your data is, and how you'd like to operate on it, and then we have the ability to have our cluster gossip about parts of your program that need to be shipped to where parts of your data is. One node can ask another node "please apply this function to the data you have" and the other node can gossip to get any missing definitions it needs for that function.

You never have to talk about serialization or network connections or software distribution, we know how to move data for you, move code for you, and in some cases even cash partial program results.

I suffered in the IE6 times, understood how bad it is, but still claim otherwise; when we're saying that Safari is the new IE/the new Chrome, it's with good reason. We've recognized that a piece of history is repeating itself, and it's pretty sad that it gets handwaved away or dismissed, just because people happen to have bought into its ecosystem.

I don't know about studies, but I'm pretty sure there is a large difference between very high contrast edges (worst case: text rendered without anti-aliasing) and photos or even videos, where there usually aren't any high-contrast high-frequency edges (black pixel next to white pixel). Since anti-aliasing is standard in font rendering and pretty common in computer games, I don't think very high PPD content would often be noticable.

another interesting fact is that modern Europeans are descended from 4 distinct populations which were as genetically distant from each other as modern Europeans are from Asians: Western hunter gatherers, anatolian farmers, eastern hunter gatherers, and eurasian steppe herders.
