The B61 is 3.56m long. I had to wonder if the internal bomb bays could fit something like that and found a pic on reddit with it tucked in with quite a lot of room to spare.

Thanks this is a great thought experiment! It does seem like a great reductio ad absurdum since the collection of papers/correspondence is merely a subset of the life's worth of memories. I find myself being repulsed at this intrusion/invasion of privacy, so I am (as I suspected) very torn and inconsistent on this one.
1) I have taken a node in maintenance mode many times deliberately by launching second node and draining first. Its not an issue at all with just one node. For redundancy, is there ever a case where single node could go down in practice. Nodes are basically EC2 instance and they could run for years without going down.

2) 1 is odd and could win the election;)
> citing its ownership over the Wordle name and copyrighted gameplay including 5x6 tile layout and gray, yellow, and green color scheme.

So this is referring to trademark (the name Wordle) and copyright — but not patent. It makes sense to go after people who are using the same actual name, since this clearly infringes the trademark, and because if you do not enforce ("police") your mark against minor players, you can end up losing the ability to enforce it against major players.

But the copyright bit is a bit novel from my perspective (lawyer, but not copyright lawyer). If you had asked me what a copyright claim about Wordle would be about, I would have said the precise code. I might have wondered about the specific word lists, even though these would probably fail the "phone book" test (don't remember the case, but these were deemed uncopyrightable). I never would have thought about the tile layout and color scheme. That seems more like what I think of as "trade dress" [1] or perhaps something related to patent (which wouldn't apply here, unless the original Wordle owner had filed for patents a long time ago.

Are there any copyright lawyers who can elucidate how the tile layout and color scheme might be subject to copyright law? I assume the NYT has good lawyers, and has thought long and hard before going after folks on github...

LOVE IT -- reminds me of old school mac hypercard concept.
Last year when I did a lot of sound-related projects, I implemented the YM3012 DAC on a Pico: https://blog.qiqitori.com/2023/03/raspberry-pi-pico-implemen... I used PIO to read the digital input and used PWM for the sound output. I verified that the conversion was correct but unfortunately never really put in a lot of effort to try to make it sound good. There's a bit of a hiss.
What temperature is that, then?

I would think that a finger, being an extremity, would be cooler than core body temperature - and not by a precise amount, either. "Lukewarm" by this definition would be cooler on a cold day, and vary depending on whether your hand was in your pocket prior to measurement.
"Existing" doesn't mean surviving in any meaningful sense, and if that is the argument you are taking, then the existence of apple in the EU definitionally did not impact that world either.

That's the later point I made: Apple existing does not, and did not, stop any of what you're saying you want from existing, and it didn't make it any less relevant either.

You're either talking about existence in the hobbyist/enthusiast sense, in which case apple's existence or not changes nothing, or you're talking about existence in the practical real world use sense in which basically no one other than MS was relevant for more than 50% of your stated time period, and even today apple's existence or not doesn't really change anything (if anything the existence of a large enough non-MS platform is what drove the cross platform frameworks like electron - for better or worse - that mean that a bunch of apps that would historically have been windows only are now also available on linux).

This is so laughably incorrect/out of date for the UK travel section that I doubt the rest is of any value. The majority of the advice can be distilled down to “use Trainline”.

it still would be nice have a footage of the board in action at the end of the page.

It's like reading a romance book building a climax through the chapters just for an inconclusive ending.
I would argue no - the entire concept of prompt engineering exists for this reason.
> But it had a touch screen that felt nice, and you could watch videos and play music! The web browser actually performed well despite the low bandwidth.

Basically an observation that consumers were interested in digital media players, which Apple had some expertise in building (iPods, for younger folks).

And that a usable browser was a killer feature (most of the web not having reactive mobile sites, and no apps, then).

And if you combined all of the above with a cell phone, customers would rather carry 1 device than the 3 it previously took.

k8s is a lot easier for homelabs than it used to be, and imo it's quicker than nix for building a declarative homelab. templates like this one can deploy a cluster in a few hours: https://github.com/onedr0p/cluster-template

here's my home assistant deployment as a single file: https://github.com/pl4nty/homelab/blob/main/kubernetes/clust...

I deliberately nuked my onprem cluster a few weeks ago, and was fully restored within 2 hours (including host OS reinstalls). and most of that was waiting for backup restores over my slow internet connection. I think the break even for me was around 15-20 containers - managing backups, config, etc scales pretty well with k8s.
Was this because of a Covid related over expansion? I know home gyms exploded in popularity for a bit and then ran into a post Covid collapse of demand.
It's like they don't actually understand graphs. But they've seen graphs used to explain things.
Difficult to imagine what Apple were thinking in the first place. Did they actually think there was a chance the EU would let this slide? Best I can tell, all they've achieved is bringing even greater scrutiny on themselves.
Got a great idea, gotta find some kinda brainiacs to code the app
Effectively, population density meets desirability (e.g., strength of school system) meets a bank's willingness to float a mortage on a property + buyer meets inventory meets (perhaps) acreage & sqr footage.

When it's easier - and smarter? - invest in property instead of stocks or plain vanilla savings, then naturally prices will increase.
And a large component of that explosive population growth is tourism. It is also the easiest component to curtail. Let's get on with doing that while there is still something left of our city centers. Best wishes from Lisbon.
I don't think that's what the post says. I understand it as: Hardware rng is not like csrng which is designed to pass validation. If you measure a truly random hardware rng for a long enough time, you'll get a string of 9s, however unlikely that is. It doesn't mean that that hrng is broken in any way.
I think you're probably right, but in fairness to Apple it is reasonable to expect that the future will resemble the past. They've been wildly successful with their abusive behaviors in the past, so it probably was reasonable to think they might get away with it this time. I can't think of any company that gets more of a pass and has people willfully take up their PR releases as gospel truth than Apple.

They present prior art on both sides of the issue then provide their interpretation of the matter. If that’s bad writing, then so is every court decision ever.
They likely had a few document review attorneys do a first pass review for relevance through all 30,000 documents (a "document" can be a short email). A reviewer can do somewhere from 50-70 documents/hour.

Then attorneys do a second pass review on the much smaller set of relevant documents.

Reviewing 30,000 documents is a relatively small project.
Microsoft failed because they weren't persistent enough. When you are the third entry in the market, you need to stay on the race and improve. Windows phone was profitable - $3.8 billion in a quarter using Lumias. But Nadella wanted to make Microsoft a cloud services company and leave the OS behind, so he axed the Phone.

Now, Apple is achieving per-eminance in the cross-device consumer OS market in the latop+tablet+smartphone space and Windows is slowly dying. Microsoft will just set to become yet another boring cloud services company.

Offtopic perhaps, but I am interested in reading an explanation of the good, big reasons why not "programming languages should be able to wear syntaxes like themes". Racket seems quite an interesting counterpoint, and I've never heard it argued as fundamentally flawed.
I respect a lot of your comments on this site, but this one says nothing of substance. All you've done is repeat high-level facts that everyone knows and tried to shift suspicion in the opposite direction without providing any real basis for it.

I think nobody cares yet (or will ever), though it is obviously infringement. If I buy someone's library in a garage sale, I do not automatically own the copyright to the books in it obviously.
Or the more cynical take that this is the natural course all parties take when they discover themselves atop a large pile of money. The board was just outmaneuvered.
No they didn't, Apple banned Epics account March 6, DMA took effect March 7.

Is it possible the interests of the employees align more with the interests of Altman and that they diverged from the rest of the Board (which the Board did not expect)?
You completely misunderstood what happened here.

I do not argue with you because it's pointless. I recommended a book as a starter in order to get to a point where we can have a discussion. Some things can't be explained in a short comment.

You embarrassed yourself not with the statement itself but that it makes crystal clear you have no idea about what underpinnings of a modern state, its interaction with society and so forth.

Interesting they chose 3 more left leaning board members. Surprising an AI-focused company wouldn't have more diversity of perspective at the governance level.
The other thing the normal conductor does is save the coil from exploding if the superconductor quenches and loses its superconductivity (1/2 L I^2 can be a lot of energy). Old low Tc superconductors used copper for this, I believe.
PARC (at least the UI that came out of it) is replicable in terms of a new UI paradigm: The virtual headset is criminally underutilized.

How much is computer interface restricted by the little window (even a 4k TV) we get as the view into the computer? The promise to me of a VR headset UI is having an arbitrary amount of real estate to display information (and not just 2D!)

And here's the thing about a good VR UI: it wouldn't just be the visible! Your brain can track the location of things subconsciously, so the log tailing window, the metrics window, that upload/download/file copy status window, can all be in some area you turn your head to glance at to get occasional information on.

Because the PARC UI's windowing system is designed to help out with the "limited viewport": it already recognized that people will do more applications/tasks than there is visible screen space, so you need an overlaid windowing system.

But right now, facebook is the sociopaths in control of VR headsets, so ... we'll be waiting for a while.

The talk is so refreshing, so indicative of research in the 1960s. I think in retrospect from listening to the talk is that all researchers had to do was the possible. What they didn't have to think about was the consequences of technology.

That is not the world we live in now. It is apparent that we are a civilization facing the Fermi Paradox/Great Filter. He alluded to it in the human evolution and human organizations part of the intro, but it is fundamentally structured around post-WWII viewpoint, not the modern view where literally every person's consumption is a step towards collective destruction.
I've been half-jokingly advocating for "resumable SSR" components that abuse wasm as an isomorphic, serializable coroutine runtime: start rendering a component inside a wasm VM on the server, while simultaneously serializing and streaming the state of the wasm VM to the client, and then resume rendering on the client.

It's a bit of a meme that takes the idea of "React Server Components" to their logical extreme. And coding a PoC is beyond my capabilities... but I'd love to see someone do it.
Thanks that's clearer. But I can't say the quality is very good. Within a minute of looking on the site, I find this book which has the wrong description (uses the desc from an Ian Banks Culture novel.)

Why was Brockman removed from board and demoted? For Sam, I could think of 100 reasons.

And why didn't board tell this to anyone in the company after accusing Sam in the PR. Board members were so publicly humiliated and I find it weird that they just sat there in silence but at the same not giving up. Their career is surely affected by this unprofessional behavior.

That's not correct. Immortals can be killed, they just don't die of old age or disease (I am basing this on an amalgamation of many immortals). In the greek pantheon, the gods ate ambrosia which made their blood into ichor, and if they lost their ichor, they could die.

You really think Apple is just going to abandon everything it believes in and trash their brand in a race to the bottom?

If there's one company I don't expect that from, it's Apple. They may have highly dubious ethics but they are damn good at business and marketing, and I would be utterly shocked if they don't position themselves as the safe, privacy-friendly official app store. For people who don't enable side-loading, I wouldn't expect they'll even notice any changes.

I tried to evaluate pigweed a little bit by importing just a single module (pw_result) into my existing CMake-based MCU project. I guess you guys technically do have support, but it seemed unnecessarily difficult to pull in. Just pull the source code in, and link against pw_result right? Nope. I ended up having to spend a few hours working out what the heck facades are, various handlers for I/O, implement my own crash handlers, all the while having to poke through/model existing handlers that had "DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION" written all over it.

I did end up getting it working, but it was clear that GN/Bazel is the blessed build system and CMake is just an afterthought.

In contrast, I pulled in expected-lite [1] with a single line of CMake's FetchContent, #include'd the header, and it just worked.

It would be completely impractical, since ITER is not designed to withstand the much larger JxB forces (which scale as B^2).

In the high Tc high field designs, the mass of the metal supports for the magnets dominates the reactor mass.

Note that when deciding if that is something to worry about you need to consider the base rate for the control group.

For example if I was choosing between an activity that killed 100 out of 400 people that did it and one that killed 121 out of 400 I'd pick the first. Picking the second would raise my death probability from 25% to 30.25%. That's over a 5% increase in my death probability.

On the other hand if I was choosing between something that killed 100 out of 100 million and something that killed 121 out of 100 million, I'd probably not really consider the differences in death probabilities. For the first I've got a death probability of 0.0001% and for the second I've got a death probability of 0.000121%. My death probability is only 0.000021% higher in the second activity.

In both cases the hazard ratio is 1.21, but with the second pair of events the probability of encountering the hazard is so low a 21% increase doesn't actually make enough of a difference for me to worry about it.
This is not true. Helion's very clever scheme appears to offer a near term route to using DD and D3He fusion. Helion could also burn DT, but they don't want to due to its practical drawbacks.

If you didn't know this you need to pay much more attention to them. IMO, they are the least dubious of all the fusion efforts at reaching a practical reactor, and that includes the DT efforts.

Helion is also going to produce prodigious amounts of excess tritium if their scheme works, which is good news for others trying the DT path (although how they compete against a workable advanced fuel reactor is not clear.)
That's the way!
> Thierry Breton, the EU’s industry chief, said regulators had warned Apple about the iPhone maker’s move earlier this week to block Epic’s potential return.

We can't be certain it was the EU's pressure that made Apple react, but anything else seems rather unlikely.

I really doubt that Google has the power to blacklist someone from the industry, or that they would take steps to do so in this instance even if they did have such power. I have yet to see an example of Google doing so or anything that makes me believe they have such power.

Even if they did - it would be a significantly lesser power than the ability to execute people, and would belong to the 'low justice' in a feudal era, not 'high justice' which the King possessed. So rather than the power of King George, Google would have the power of a Manorial Court.
> I'd applied for a passport in the summer of 2020, during the height of the COVID lockdown. I could get an appointment at the passport office within a week (socially distanced, reduced capacity), and had my passport in hand the next week

So no different than America? The official site says 8 - 16 weeks, but in my experience, they come promptly within a week or two at most. Unless you have confusing circumstances that require manual review. I had a friend going to Ireland and his entire family had the passports within days but he filled out his form wrong and it took the full eight weeks, including a visit.

I mean, we just renewed a passport last week, and got it this week.

I'm happy the passport process is so streamlined, but again that wasn't the point of the article. Nor is passport processing times at all related to government intervention in the economy.
What things do you think a conservative board member would bring that's currently missing? A distaste for big government? Interest in trickle-down economics?

What then would be sufficient? Or are you saying it's simply OK for Apple to ban a major company from their app store? Before you say that, keep in mind that Apple has over 50% of smartphone market share -- they aren't "just another company", should they really be able to decide for that many people that they're not allowed to use Epic's product?

Also I should point out that there's a significant difference between breaking a contract mutually agreed upon and negotiated by two companies, versus breaking a ToS that's forced upon you. Epic's "rule breaking" was essentially a legal strategy to force Apple to legally justify their control. It wasn't some random hooliganism.
