Well, in my case, that's certainly not my objection. I'm going to a Bitcoin conference this year, after all. Hah.

I have no interest in tying my ability to conduct transactions and hold wealth to an ID that is designed to be immutable. But that's just me. I also lack faith in any system founded on biometrics, as it's a technology that's implicitly sold as something that is nearly impossible to exploit, which I simply have no reason to believe.

If there are people out there who are turned away by cryptocurrency being involved, well, I can't say I entirely blame them. The nerdy advocates and developers of cryptocurrencies and the countless "gurus" have failed to adequately onboard the public or counter the bad PR from the media. When setting up a custodial cryptocurrency account takes more steps than signing up for a credit card, the fees are relatively high, and stories pile up of clueless people falling for scams involving cryptocurrency, as well as the barrage of FUD from folks who are usually ignorant, it's no wonder everyday people would run in the other direction as soon as "cryptocurrency" is mentioned.
A, B and the line connecting them exist before you start the construction, and the author assumes there's no error there.

Then to start the construction, you have to put one arm of your compass on the point A, and one on the point B. These points exist and are already marked, but you incur error when you place your compass down on each one. These are the represented by the blue and yellow circles in the diagram.

GPS is on 1575.42 and 1227.60 Mhz, though.

Isn't that above the critical frequency you'd get ionosphere reflection at? (Which makes sense, since the signals are coming from outside it at LEO)

Great work, Will! (I'm Will's brother and we've been working on this project for a while.)
Lol. Are you being absurd, or are you serious? Tracking admittance or distribution of something in a third world country for the purpose of food aid, and you want to scan their iris? You could do stamps on their hands, tickets (you know, like they've used at carnivals, events, sports complexes, 50,000+ person concerts, etc) with a supply and administration cost of near $0
ha, yes, that's what I had assumed this was at first
This is indeed about an EU-specific account by Epic Games Sweden.
This looks really good! I'll give it a read and perhaps add it to the reading list in the repo.
The investors aren't interested in Apple selling more phones each year than previous. The investors are interested in people using the iPhone as a yearly or bi yearly upgrade cycle product in their life and giving Apple money without much bother and accepting it as a part of culture, especially American.

I wouldn't have thought India, a country that is so price sensitive, would be a place you find so many iPhones. But Indians love what America does and follow them blindly.

The iPhone might not be the next big thing, but for most invested in the cloud and app ecosystem, the choice they have to make is whether you upgrade this year or next. It's like Visa or Mastercard. You can cry all you want about high transaction fees. America is still going to keep using it and give them money.

Investors are loving this trend. Starbucks, Visa, Mastercard, Nike, American Express, Bank of America, Coca Cola and what not. Investors love companies that become part of the culture and despite their horrifying practices, people seem to still go back to them.
LinkedIn actually chose Ember well before React had won, and definitely before it had become the new “no one gets fired for buying IBM.” That all preceded my time there, but the evaluation was late 2014 and the LinkedIn.com web app rebuild in Ember was kicked off in 2015 if I recall correctly. React only came out in 2013, and while it was definitely on a rocket ship it was way less obvious in late 2014 that it was going to be the de facto standard that it was by late 2016–early 2017.

Bonus note: One factor that was really not obvious at the point they were doing the evaluation was how much TypeScript and TypeScript-powered tooling was going to matter. TS shipped support for JSX/TSX in TS 1.6, in late 2015, and I contend that while JSX had a lot of pros and cons, the one absolutely unambiguous win it had over everything else from that point forward was that whether you were writing JS or TS, you got outstanding editor support in basically every editor in the world courtesy of the TS language server backing your JS or TS development. Just absolutely massive.

The fact that the TS team baked support for JSX into TS itself and that it's not pluggable is (a) totally understandable and reasonable from a maintenance effort POV, especially given that Microsoft uses React extensively, and (b) extremely frustrating for everyone not using JSX. Vue, Angular, Svelte, and Ember all had to build the exact same infrastructure to get that support, and that was a huge productivity hit for devs using those frameworks compared to React in the meantime.
As has been pointed out countless times on this website in the past:

There's no biometric sensors that are guaranteed to be free from tampering. There's no way to prove that the bits and bytes that say "I scanned person X's iris" actually corresponds to a legitimate iris scan. There's no way to stop someone from going town to town with their own iris scanners and claiming they need to scan eyes for the census or vaccines or any number of other things that people might think are real, only to use those scans to accept the money you mentioned in your comment. There's no way to prevent someone from perturbing those scans slightly to allow them to be re-used for new transactions in the future.

Extremely advanced credit card skimmers exist, and those subvert the security of little tiny computers embedded in the credit cards. If you think a picture of an iris is any better, I've got an NFT of a bridge to sell you.
Apple should avoid destroying developer trust as developers aren't forced to write ios apps. Apple needs developers.
>>My career lesson is that being right isn't the hard part of being a senior staff engineer.

Not only that, but your own definition of 'right' may or may not align with what is 'right' for the people paying your salary - pretending otherwise is just silly.

In any organization, you advocate for what you believe is 'right' the best you can, someone else (or a consensus of others) will likely decide if they agree - you get to decide if you are willing to live with it/compromise, or move on - I have done both in my career.
Differentiation Treadmill of Startups

No plans to do so - firstly we’d have to rewrite it in C, and second it would be a big amount of code for the Git project to merge.
Epic perhaps thought Apple might show them grace after the lawsuit in the US. A kind of repeat of the Apple-Samsung litigation where everyone has a "it's just business" attitude and keeps doing business together while simultaneously suing each other. Apple on the other hand has decided they will show them no quarter. I don't think they're being emotional about it. I think it's to show every other developer that they will actually enforce the DPLA that everyone signs, and they won't turn the other cheek.
You meant average, not sum, right?
Looking forward to this. We're running a Django codebase and would like to pull in Confluence articles and run GPT queries against them.
I can't see Gmail mentioned on the page. How is it integrated into Gmail?
Yes because that would be hurting people. Theres no shooting/explosives range on the national mall correct?

People use these things all the time without hurting people.
> The electric muscle car promises to sound louder than most other EVs, too, due to something Dodge is calling the "Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust," which combines chambers and speakers under the car, plus some actual pipes, to create the car's soundtrack.

My neighborhood has ~4 chargers in it. Best I can tell, the car only ships with a startup mode where the car revs and chugs and growls for 60s after startup, causing as much neighborhood disturbance is possible.

Incredible job Dodge knowing your market & knowing what is required to move this model to electric. I wonder (& fear) if similar heroics are required to displace 2 stroke gas scooters with electric.
The smart move is to get the free education, then move to the US for a 5x salary.

EU has a higher floor and a low ceiling: you’ll always have dignity and a decent quality of life, but it’s also harder to become obscenely rich because there are limits on how much you can exploit people.

Whereas, in the USA you can be left in the gutter to die or be given the tools to be the richest person on the planet provided your willing to exploit people.

Keep the EU citizenship to get that floor, come to the USA to be evil!
More like "Soviet-style propaganda ads".

The use of terms like mis/dis/mal-information is simply the contemporary mechanism through which propaganda is peddled.
Most information is not a math equation.
Not OP but in Southeastern England obviously Cockney, Estuary English, or Multicultural London English are considered lower prestige dialects whereas RP is high prestige. Other regions may have a prestige version of the local dialect that incorporates some RP features while retaining some local features, but broadly speaking, regional speech patterns have lower prestige because they tend to be more prominent among people with less education.
And in Polish, where people often add a ", nie?" to the end of the sentence, with a similar result.

> These columns are an accidental historical source

Since when were newspapers and magazines considered to be accidental historical sources? They were part of the war effort. It was literally state war propaganda in an ongoing war.
Worldcoin is still a thing? Does anyone care about it? I figured at this point it was just another failed cryptocurrency venture.
AI already is used to create fake porn, either of celebreties or children, fact. It is used to create propaganda pieces and fake videos and images, fact. Those can be used for everything from deffamation to online harassment. And AI is using other peoples copyrighted content to do so, also a fact. So, what's your point again?
When will computer hardware match the human brain?
But Worldcoin doesn't solve the problem of unequal distribution. The real world still exists.

Even if the food/money is perfectly evenly distributed via Worldcoin, a gang boss can have his muscle go around and threaten violence if people don't give him their share of the food/money. That's the problem, right?

The kind of injustice that spurs people to build Worldcoin can't be solved by Worldcoin.
> AFAIK no such thing exist in Linux, which generally uses Windows style shortcuts (Home, End) that a much more limited.

GTK used to have functionality for using Emacs shortcuts in text fields, but they removed it in GTK 4:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/1669

One issue was that because there's no separate command key, you'd end up with other functionality overriding the shortcuts (i.e. Ctrl+P would bring up the print dialog).
AI is producing shareholder value like crazy. No, that's not the same thing as a new market, exactly, but it speaks to the same need in the C suites. Apple didn't get on that boat, and so is being forced into squeezing their partners and fighting in the trenches on essentially unwinnable regulatory points just to preserve the illusion of growth. AI is a much more effective illusion of growth!
Nice, I love Humongous so knew about PJ Sam (and plan to play Putt Putt together with him) but didn't know Zoombinis and Crystal Rainforest. Any other recommendations?
Wih nuclear you have for example the question of getting fuel. There is little nuclear fuel available outside of ex-soviet control.

Rosatom (Russia) controls less than half of world uranium enrichment capacity, and none of the other ex-Soviet states have enrichment plants:

https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-c...

Rosatom had 46% of world enrichment capacity in 2020.

If you mean uranium mining, ex-USSR states (Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan) account for slightly more than half of production:

https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-c...

As of 2022 those 4 countries accounted for 55% of mined uranium.

The bigger issue that you correctly identify is that building nuclear plants takes a long time. Also, unlike a wind farm or solar farm, the reactor must be completely finished before it can start earning revenue from electricity generation. Many wind and solar projects start supplying power to the grid when they are less than halfway complete, since they're made up of turbines or racks of panels that work independently.
Apple is making many billions selling hardware and services in the EU - investors would cook them for that move.
You are talking about the US's first ammendment. That doesn't exist in the EU.
The difference is that the repository id is stable, while the maintainer keys can change.
Maybe.

Though from the client side 60 bytes is likely not really noticeable¹ as a delay in the request send. Perhaps server side, which is seen many many client requests, will see an uptick in incoming bandwidth used, but in most cases servers responding to HTTP(S) requests see a lot more outgoing traffic (response sizes are much larger than requests sizes, on average), so have enough incoming bandwidth “spare” that it is not going to be saturated to the point where this has a significant effect.

--

[1] if the link is slow enough that several lots of 60 bytes is going to have much effect² it likely also has such high latency that the difference is dwarfed by the existing delays.

[2] a spotty GRPS connection? is anything slower than that in common use anywhere?
Breakthrough Map Reveals Supply Chain of the Most Trafficked Mammal
I think the point is "Proof of Personhood/Humanity/Individual".

There is a huge problem in the cryptocurrency space where you don't know if 10 accounts belong to 10 individuals, or one individual. So a bunch of projects are trying to figure out a solution to this, to prevent sybil attacks.

Gitcoin Passport is one of those solutions, where you can connect various accounts to a "Passport", which you can then hand over to services who can see you have a certain score, but not exactly what that Passport is connected to, so you still preserve your privacy.

I think Worldcoin is another attempt at this, with the idea that the iris scans they do are unique in the world. So basically like a normal cryptocurrency wallet, except these ones also have a ID/hash or something that indicates their "iris value" or something.

Then Worldcoin can guarantee/prove that one individual only has one wallet.

At least that's my understand of it, happy to be corrected.

(Guess I should add that I personally don't use or support Worldcoin at all, but I have read about it a couple of times at this point)
> Most businesses didn't have one at all, most homes certainly didn't

I think this is wrong. The PC industry had been through a massive stock market boom in the early 80's, and "desktop publishing" was a real thing, not just for early adopters:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_publishing

There was also a TV show on public television:

https://archive.org/details/Computer_Chronicles

why would they do that if it was such a niche?

As for OS/2, Gates stabbed IBM in the back by pushing Windows, as is well documented. He continued to give lip service to OS/2, but anyone with eyes could see that Microsoft's heart was with Windows.

> I'd argue that we're absolutely in the future that OS/2 envisaged

Everyone had the same "vision" back then. Actually bringing it to market is something else again.
Interesting idea, thanks!
Not sure if postgres is uniquely situated, elasticsearch can do everything you mentioned and much more.
Do remember this isn't the cost of an actual unmetered 1Gbps, just the part they expect you to use on average. I know Hetzner is pretty generous, but some people have been asked to reduce their bandwidth after using 250TB/month consistently for several months (that's about an actual fully utilized 1Gbps).
Parts of Apple's DPLA are likely unenforceable in the EU going forward.

Intention-Action Gap
Just for another perspective, I've worked at a few companies including LinkedIn as a backend developer and I think LinkedIn is probably around 70-80th percentile in code quality.

There was significant emphasis on code quality at least on the team I was on, and an ever improving culture.

I did work on one voyager task though and I remember it being a nightmare
Total speculation but it could be used as training data for GPT5 or whatever they are doing at OpenAI. I could totally see a scenario where they would want to train an AI on biometrics data and then sell that to the govt.
Agreed. I did see a limit of 220GB or so for the M2 max, but haven't seen an updated number for the M3 max. Certainly GPUs have great bandwidth, but get quite expensive if you need more than 24GB ram. I've been impressed how well the M3 max runs 70B or larger models, plenty for single user use anyways.

Epic doesn't care whether Apple shows "grace", or needs them to, they are going in by force with the backing of the EU legislation. It might just take a year or two longer to get through the courts. They can hold out that long without any problems, preparing their store in the background.

Almost nothing in America is treason. Nobody has been convicted of treason for anything after WW2 and even then there were only a handful of cases.. Usually accusations of "treason" are just meaningless slurs against one's political opponents.
Regardless of the validity of your comment: How is this relevant? Is it because Spotify is Swedish? I assure you, this is not EU protectionism, this is EU consumer protection and anti-monopoly behavior - something US regulators seem to have forgotten for the most part.

The answer is no. Companies don’t do things out of good intentions when lawsuits are involved.
Well, unexpectedly, I think Worldcoin focuses on the digital world, as it's trying to be a digital currency.

The problem is a real one, lookup "sybil attacks", which is what I think Worldcoin is trying to defend against.
That was just inexperience with referendums from UK politics, if I remember correctly it was their first one in their history, right?

The referendum was very generic, while in this case it was very specific, do you want the gigafactory to extend at the cost of the forest?

Also in Italy when we do referendums they have multiple questions that divide the bigger issue in smaller problems, so that overall you can build the solution quite "representatively"

What the Brexit referendum should have been is what was voted on parliamentary votes afterwards on how to implement it
Thanks for this...tbh I haven't actually followed the project since about 2008
A lot of people assumed that once you provided a way to bypass the admission and tuition gates, there was no reason they too couldn't be as successful as the average Stanford or MIT grad. In practice, it had very little impact.
If you wanted to create a user authentication system that could reliably differentiate between humans and AI, how would you do it?

Not trying to defend worldcoin. It's just that this problem of differentiating people and AI online matters a lot to me and I haven't thought of a reliable way yet, even theoretically.
To be fair, of those only Apache Lucene predates YaCy. YaCy is very mature, but in terms of relative popularity for general web search probably peaked around 15 years ago.

True, but they raise a valid point in that even in the US, the government has no standing to intervene with private individuals limiting each others' speech contractually. NDAs are very much enforceable in the US.
Stop Eating Sugar (2020)
iOS has a significantly different security model than 'Unix'. iOS apps being significantly more sandboxed and restricted, technically, prevents many things an 'admin' could otherwise do.
What a grim attack vector
>Can we agree that a chocolate bar and a Twinkie are wildly different levels of healthiness?

No. Sugar is sugar is sugar. Sugar is bad for humans. A twinkie excreted out of a factory is just as bad as artisanal small-batch free-range fair-trade chocolate that comes out of a Swiss boutique. It doesn't matter that the chocolate has more vitamin-D because of the sugar.

Category 4, which does indeed include nearly all prepared food, should be avoided to the greatest extent possible.

Making Sense of MVP (Minimum Viable Product) (2016)
What iOS trojan are you referring to that is not a vulnerability of iOS itself?
Absolutely, you should look at XGBoost, LightGBM, and CatBoost.

XGBoost is the og and the most feature-rich.

LightGBM is the fastest and what I use for my case (millions of rows of data with over 100 features).

CatBoost could be good depending on the nature of your data, for example if you have a lot of categorical types.

EDIT: Alos, they all support GPU training, but I haven't been able to make that faster than just using more CPU cores.

I don't think any of that has to do anything with static analysis deficiencies. The analysis is the same. What Swift requires is for the user to manually help the compiler with a rather verbose and otherwise unnecessary construct.
