It isn't uncommon to use verbiage where speed is associated with frequency rather than the speed at which a wave propagates across a distance. I'm not saying we should say things this way, but that it is not uncommon. (Consider the audience. It is the general public who does not have such well founded notions. Again, not that they shouldn't, but here we are)

A couple decades ago it was more common to see elders wearing canes. It was actually an simple, ancient invention that made a lot of sense. But I think there's years since the last time I saw somebody with one. Our society became youth obsessed, and now people are ashamed to look old. Perhaps making canes become fashionable again would help.

Pulsar, the best code editor since Atom
Pulsar (former Atom) is still the best code editor in my opinion. It is easiest and fastest to use, has all the nice productivity boosting plugins and is overall great for all the same reasons the Atom was great.
htmz is pronounced hit and miss.
I don't know if I was that attuned to my system, but I really miss having an audible way of knowing when a process was blocked by disk access.
To be fair it says "more than 99%", which may just be popsci-journalist-speak for "very accurate". This is the same author who says terahertz waves "travel much faster than radio waves".
I've never heard that, though I can't say I've lived here long enough to be any kind of authority on the matter. There is a Japanese version of Wikipedia though, and my girlfriend frequently looks things up on it just like I do with the English version.
You claimed it wasn't clear how Qualcomm could help. I pointed out how they could help. There's precedent too, with ARM supporting panfrost.

QC is not a low level employee lacking agency over their job description. They're a business that is free to set their strategy in response to risk and competition.

The less that QC upstreams, the more risk they incur, especially with tightening security scrutiny (e.g. 2021 Cyber EO requirements).

QC can also get disrupted by Mediatek doing a better job with Linux.

Eh, sure. Some people are not developers or don't work with systems.

But 20 hours spent learning SQL pays off for a lifetime. Most people watch more hours of TV than that per week.

We all make our choices, but very very few people could not find 20 hours somewhere in their lives, with zero net loss.
I was thinking the other day: Star Trek computers make a lot of sense if they are working with our current level of AI.

You can talk to it, it can give you back answers that are mostly correct to many questions, but you don't really trust it. You have real people pilot the ship, aim and fire weapons, and anything else important.

Not sure why the world finds this so hard to understand, but I think we have the same issue with politics. Everything seems to suffer from binaryism. everything is either good or bad, right or wrong, healthy or unhealthy, us or them...

the world and life in general is full of shades of gray. its not 1's and 0's.
Broadcom is so odd that I get the feeling that they landed a huge hidden deal with the US government that they no longer have the need to do traditional free-market business.
I actually recently switched from my laptop to my desktop as my main work machine, and due to some weird partition choices previously (long story), I temporarily ended up with my /home/<work_user> directory on a btrfs filesystem that's sitting on top of 3 Seagate Exos 20TB drives (instead of my main NVMe).

Hearing the drives has been really nice actually, and got me noticing all kinds of interesting and sometimes unexpected behavior going on with my system, and actually helped find a bug with my terminal multiplexer.

With 64GB of RAM my entire home directory fits, so only writes go to the drives, and it's been surprisingly performant for my workloads.
I applaud decisions like this that give developers and tinkerers an easier path to innovate and integrate.

I seem to remember they promised the arch build of SteamOS would be made available after the launch of the Steam Deck, but maybe my shoddy memory just made that up. I hope we eventually get an official build that reinvigorates the concept of a desktop Steam Machine, giving us a console-like experience on more powerful hardware than the Steam Deck offers.
That's a region that's totally unknown to me, but a great example of a specific place and a clear why. Thanks for sharing!
It seems like using a browser extension instead of a website gets you most of the way there:

- Extensions are signed with a developer key

- You can be pretty sure any code changes pushed out to one user are pushed out to everyone

- You benefit from the Chrome Web Store review process (or whatever equivalent Apple and Mozilla do)

- Extensions are permissioned and sandboxed
If you aren't committing to an API or ABI then why are you even releasing with SemVar. If you are releasing a piece of software without a stable interface just release it with date as a version (ex: yyyy.mm.dd).

SemVar makes sense but every piece of software using it doesn't. Not every piece of software makes an interface commitment. Those that do should use SemVar, the rest should just use the date or some monotonically increasing number.
> Python's decent at this too. It's almost pseudocode.
Nim has Python-like syntax. But, I find it even easier to read/parse at a glance than Python.

Also, I hate that in languages with dynamic typing you have to read whole function to understand what type of arguments it takes and what is the return type. Nim is statically-typed, so all the types are properly declared.
Makes sense, seems like this setup still has the same issues I brought up, but good to know others are sorting through the same issue.

I spent a good while reading about adtech from the practitioner side (i.e. adtech devs) vs. from the privacy side, and it was illuminating. Basically, the fears of privacy advocates get laid out in plain "this is a great feature for user correlation" speak, without any of the feature-masking used when adtech discusses it in privacy terms with privacy-conscious audiences.

In short, my takeaway from that research was it only takes 1x merchant or infra provider which can correlate a "masked" domain/VOIP number/PO box with something IRL of yours to basically undo the whole privacy effort. Without ironclad knowledge the vendor doesn't sell data (which is hard to get), it's as good as safely assuming the data got sold (or the pixel in the webpage did it, and so on).

Tough to think through! I think LLC'ing ones life, if in the US, is the only way to truly do it or get a reasonably high guarantee. You'd get corporate privacy guarantees which are unfortunately stronger than individual privacy guarantees in the states.
And even if you trust them, they could be compromised now or in the future:

> (2) But: Monitors almost always have more horizontal pixels than vertical pixels. So, actually, a vertical tab bar better-leverages the aspect ratio your monitor is built at. This feels true at 16:9 and greater aspect ratios

This is true, and as a vertical tab bar user, it's important to me. However, when every app follows this logic and decides it gets to have a sidebar (or two!), all of a sudden I'm looking at a lot of apps that are barely usable unless they're maximized.

I often find myself thinking 'hey, fuck you, $APP! those pixels are for my vertical tab bar!!'

Images are hard to evaluate the quality of a video compression. Because it’s diffusing, will it have a bunch of diffuse-jitter.
Though the re-construction of the pattern is effectively impossible, I think you raise a good point regarding the use of NFC. The article mentioning a cloud database was a red flag for me as it introduces another attack vector. Sure, it's not as simple as replacing the tag as you can with RFID, but we know the counterfeiters will go to impressive lengths to replicate the real deal. If verification can be all-local that's ideal, imo. The issue there, though, is that you then need to trust either the scanned or scanning device with a private key. A private key that, if obtained, could be used to create infinite counterfeits. Either way, I think this glue-based method is a great solution, even if it does rely on a cloud service which is dependent on the company that maintains it.

An easy way to improve things is to simply move closer. 72km is a really long way to commute; you need long-distance train service for that, and that's always going to be expensive, or slow, take your pick.
I don't really understand this view.

If you're using a unique password per site (ie something generated by your password manager) I don't see how you face any higher risk with the site operator storing a password vs string some arbitrary token from a third party authenticator.

For people with high daily intake it’s not so much that they want to get “high” on coffee to enjoy the conversation, as it is that their brain is in acute caffeine withdrawal and they will feel so shitty with coffee that they won’t be able to participate in conversation very well.
More relevant to the article, Chrome extensions can't just "open a zillion connections." Included scripts must be unminified and external scripts are strictly declared ahead of time with more secure default permissions.

I like that idea.
Was this response just to call others ignorant and then suggest your favorite brands?
Thanks for engaging with my wild ideas. I do think that's a good description yes. There are corollaries like Dependency Length Minimization I mentioned, which I think helps lower the MDL. Putting related things together allows using smaller symbols to describe things because more can be inferred from the adjacent context.

In my mind this is also related to concepts like scientific notation. Minimum description is not just about minimizing the number of operations, the number of branches, the degree of freedoms of your program. Taking into account variable width also makes a difference. Using a timestamp YYMMDDHHMMSS when you only need YYMMDD creates unintended edge cases the same way using too many digits in scientific notation creates noise and both can result in poor calibration with the uncertainty of the model.
probably not.

here is an answer from mistral-next:

> "OTP" can stand for different things depending on the context. However, in the context of transportation, it commonly stands for "One-Time Password". In the context of fanfiction, it can stand for "One True Pairing". In the context of Atlanta, Georgia, OTP stands for "Outside the Perimeter", referring to the areas outside of the Interstate 285 loop that encircles the city. Please provide more context if you meant a different usage.

Erlang OTP makes no sense... just like X, or Alphabet as company names
I've always wondered why Google and Apple don't build a report button into their dialer that allows you to generate a FCC complaint. This seems like a pretty easy task but doesn't seem useful from a third party app. It would auto fill a fair amount of information for you. I'm sure this would burden the FCC system, but I'm not sure that's a big concern and rather just would force the FCC to recognize the scale of the problem. Hard for politicians to argue against too: "We need to defund the FCC because companies like Google and Apple are over burdening the systems with reports of spam callers!"

It would also be nice if they streamlined the ability to add yourself to the DNC list.

Google engineers that are here, is there a reason you don't do this? If not, can you do it in your 20% time? 350 million of us will thank you.
The point of asking how much hardware is to estimate the cost? (Both capital and operational, i.e. power)
I don’t believe there was any sexual assault. There’s precedent for this type of armed resistance. The Haitian Slave Revolt and the Pueblo Revolt are both very similar. I think Oct 7th was justified, I don’t want to litigate it here though. This will be my last comment, I just want to state what a lot of people are thinking so it’s not misrepresented. I know many people here won’t agree.
Anybody who uses "int short" should be keel-hauled. That nonsense did not make its way into D!
At batch size 1 LLMs are memory bandwidth bound, not compute bound…as in you spend most time waiting for model weights to load from vram. At higher batch sizes this flips.

But this is why Groq is built around large numbers of chips with small amount of very fast sram.
You might like Deezer, it's very similar to Spotify but with the added bonus of being able to upload your own MP3s.
Well done. Oooooh that tenuous logo link though. Used by cousins of people who have walked past Anytime Fitness on their way to work or something ;-)

On a serious note for me it reduces credibility a little. If your app is used by the CEO or a sizeable number of staff or sizeable number of their PTs recommend it to their clients
that might be different.
Except now people are coming back around, because they’re realizing (as the article mentions) that UUID PKs come with enormous performance costs. In fairness, any non-k-sortable ID will suffer the same fate, but UUIDs are the most common of the bunch.

If we do care about the delta in security model between the web and other platforms, then we could build some kind of code bundling and signing mechanism for web applications, perhaps with some kind of transparency layer on top to make the code publicly auditable and make it harder to target specific users with malicious code. A bundling/signing/transparency solution for the web could probably be built out of some of a collection of mechanisms that already exist or have at least been explored. Related ideas include Subresource Integrity, Isolated Web Apps, Signed Exchanges and Web Packaging, Meta’s Code Verify extension, and source code and supply chain transparency proposals.

Incidentally, I've actually just recently developed a solution to this exact problem: https://www.websign.app.

WebSign started a while back as an internal framework used by the Cyph E2EE messenger (https://www.cyph.com), and @eganist and I gave a talk that covered part of the TOFU architecture at Black Hat and DEF CON. Now there's a static web hosting service built around it for others to use, which takes care of bundling and code signing during deployment.

If anyone here has a use case for it, we're looking for pilot customers now. Just shoot me an email at ryan@cyph.com.

Surprised to see Scala running almost as many website backends as JavaScript. In my mind, it faded in popularity long ago.
I see XTX is one of the investors - any potential use cases that require deterministic computation that you can talk about beyond just inference?
If that's your definition, I believe no one actually follows that definition because there are a lot of ways for abstractions to leak their implementation details, which might not be fully captured by interfaces. A good example is the performance. If you need a fast enough implementation with the same interface, you are not doing the abstraction in your definition because the "fast enough" implementation is an implicit coupling factor.

More commonly, and in my opinion, more reasonably, any abstraction involves a trade-off. Some abstractions can be quite leaky but darn easy to use. Others may be less leaky but difficult to use (or misuse, depending on your view). There is no non-leaky abstraction here. Once you've chosen a trade-off and thus abstraction, you are still not entirely free from coupling for the aforementioned reason, but can enjoy some level of freedom thanks to the trade-off made. Unison is no different from other conventional languages in this sense.
Until recently I would have said Spider-Man and God of War 2016 though both are now released on Windows as well.
That's the ideal but browsers don't support that today. Trusting the client but not the server is weaker but still better than nothing.

I grew up the southern hemisphere way outside of a city in a very mountainous terrain with valleys and walking tracks which I frequented regularly as a kid and I never got lost. It seems subconsciously I always knew where the sun was.

Having moveded to the city, if say I have to drive to a suburb I've not been to before I'll head for it without consulting a street directory or GPS, I only do so when near my destination to fine tune the actual address. This has drawbacks, I sometimes encounter roads that I want to enter with no entry or with one-ways going in the wrong direction or there's a bridge 'missing' when a river gets in my way. What's key is that I instinctively know what direction I want to go and follow my nose so to speak.

I have a colleague who's the opposite, he grew up in the city. Occasionally we have to visit some location, factory, supplier etc. together and if he's driving he'll consult a street directory before starting out then hands it to me and expects me to follow it every inch of the way which I find unnecessary and irritating. He's since got GPS in his vehicle which he programs before the journey and I'm subject to its incessant squawking all the way which is also irritating. I simply don't understand why he hasn't a clue where he's going, it's very frustrating to travel with him.

I mentioned growing up below the equator. When north in cities like New York which is not home territory I'll consult a map before setting out and not bother to consult it again until I'm near my destination. The trouble with this is that I have to be mindful of making a correction at the beginning of the journey, if I don't then as I've done before I'll find myself traveling 180° in the wrong direction.

When south, I don't consciously look at the sun or even think about it but just head where I want to go. When north I have to be conscious of the sun until I get used to it, after some months there my automatic direction flips 180° and I'm back to normal.

I recall similar frustrations when doing map reading during army training. To disorientate and confuse us we'd be blindfolded and stuck in the back of an enclosed truck and driven around in 'circles' in rugged terrain for what seemed like hours and then dumped at random locations in pairs. The purpose was to find our way back to base some 20 miles or more away with the aid of a map and compass.

We'd then locate our position on the map by a process of triangulation (locating mountains, ridges etc.) then follow the map with the aid of the compass. I'd head beeline for home and only check the compass occasionally whereas some guys would be constantly checking their maps and compasses which would slow us down.

What's important to say is that my sense of direction wasn't that exceptional in that I'd reckon the majority of guys who were brought up roaming around in the bush and on tracks as young kids without parental supervision were just as good as or better at directions than me.

BTW, I don't have GPS in my car.

We replaced them with plastic to be more environmentally friendly, as making paper requires a lot of resources/water not to mention cutting down trees.

Yes, we just keep repeating history.
> If you had a business that made you a $1 million per year profit, would you shut it down just because it wasnt growing?

Yeah, I would. We have to remember that these are guys who beat Google at their own game. They beat a company of a monstrous size and revenue at their own game. With that kind of capacity, I don't expect them to be satisfied with a million a year in profit to share. I expect them to go as far as they can.

If you're nobody special doing nothing special, then you can be happy with just needing to pay staff and keep the lights on. Like the coffee shop down your street, or my day job. But Kagi is clearly in a different category as a business.

Last I heard Kagi needs to grow a little bit more from current user base to break even.

Theres an overwhelming amount of educational and psychological research that supports the existence of dyslexia as a specific learning difficulty that affects reading. It’s recognized by reputable medical, psychological, and educational organizations worldwide. Disbelief in dyslexia goes against well-established scientific evidence and consensus. The existence of a handful of books and articles and papers to the contrary doesn't do much for the notion that it's on the fringe. Flat Earthers have plenty of books.

Instead of thinking in terms of how can we use technology to get just intonation, what if we start with things which already have just intonation (the human voice, string instruments) and then adapt technology to them. Of course this raises the barrier of entry significantly as you'd have to learn singing or an instrument. But I think composing music is inherently tied to the ability of producing music in real time. You can't be good writer if you have to pick and choose words on a computer. You need to be able to think and say what you want to write.
> Is it the numbers you do not like?

Correct.

Not for me. It's a personal thing, I just don't like it. When I removed them all from my code, it was like I'd scraped the barnacles off my boat.
Why should I? No desire to drive into the city all the time. Most of the time I haven't been working in the city. Happy to be living on 5 acres or so. These days, only go into the city about once a month.

When I did commute semi-regularly there were regulars going into the city though I only did so a couple days a week; wouldn't have been sustainable.

Why is it not possible to embed the NFC tag in a destructible medium? Like those annoying stickers that you cannot peel without ripping?

If you use that, then the only way to move the NFC tag to another item would be to cut it out of the original item (including the original adhesive). But this attack also works against the technique in the article.

Regarding the orientation, I understand that it is nondeterministic in the original, but what prevents an attacker from copying it deterministically? Is it just that technology is not good enough to manipulate such small pieces of metal? How long will this limitation persist?
