Asimov wrote an essay called "relativity of wrong" that I think does a good job of capturing the changes our understanding of the world goes through.

Yes, Einstein's theory of relativity was a change from Newtonian physics but it's a fairly minor correction for most practical purposes and Newtonian physics is still important to know and understand.

So yeah, our understanding of physics will likely change but it'll only matter in more and more extreme edge cases and will likely build on our current understanding. Maybe it'll result in us finally having fusion reactor, room temperature super conductors, or quantum computers but you're still going to get a roughly parabolic arc when you throw a ball through the air.

In other words, small developers without the resources to challenge Apple on these rules don't get to play.

> They both took about 5 years to be made and by the time they were ready I have already forgotten buying them. (They were good tho) Never felt the need to do that again.

What's wrong with that? I've backed more than two games. Some were good, some were bad, some failed completely. But I knew that from the beginning. And I just prepaid for the games at a discount, I didn't buy $5000 packages or anything like that.

I might do that again, but every game I picked was mentioned in the gaming press, so was promising enough to get their attention. I haven't seen that lately. No mention of kickstarter, indiegogo, gofundme or whatever else is out there.

Is it because game makers don't crowdfund any more, or because the press only covers AAAs now?
> The article's from 2015, and I understand that stuff is still going on (e.g. Ron DeSantis's campaign and SuperPAC coordinating through open letters discussing strategy).

If this is actually happening, again, it's already illegal.

> Who said anything about "directly"?

The only thing the law applies to is behavior that directly violates precisely-mapped rules. I don't know what alternative you're proposing, other than to allow subjective, ever fluctuating criteria to determine who is and is not acting within the law -- if so, that is just not the way our society works.

The idea of allowing the state to preemptively control public discourse because some people might occasionally break the law and get away with it -- a risk with all laws in all cases -- is both based on a dysfunctional approach to law (that increasingly encumbers the general case to address worst-case outliers until the general case no longer functions), and also has the terrifying implication of allowing incumbent politicians to manipulate public discourse for their own factional benefit.

Yep. The theory is that competition creates alignment, but we have trillion-dollar megacorps that openly boast about exploiting network effects and platform effects and last-mile dynamics and two-sided markets to avoid competition and nobody cares. It's completely fucked.
Can you cite your sources on that analysis? Be sure to include the relative affected numbers so we don’t count an exploit in Chrome the same as a PHP exploit affecting a dozen people using someone’s obscure WordPress plugin.

Another way of thinking about this, why are all of the browser teams who have some of the best C++ developers in the world and significant resources adopting memory-safe languages? Nobody at that level is doing that because it’s cool, so there might be something to be learned from their reasoning.

You can. I use it to persist settings in my app Borderless Gaming https://github.com/Codeusa/Borderless-Gaming

I’m also working on a textual configuration language that allowa you to import a schema and define data like JSON.
There are really only two important considerations here:

a) What does it cost to provide an api call? (Don't forget to consider both fixed cost to develop the API and ongoing costs to provide the compute.)

b) What's the api worth to your customers? Make some calls and do some research.

If b > a, then charge b.
Fair enough, I wasn't aware.
The other folks commenting that it depends on your costs are spot-on. The following are important data points for getting your economics right:

0) Advertised SLA. What uptime and response time are you guaranteeing your customers?

1) Minimum cost of the platform (i.e., no traffic). From here, also determine what full utilization looks like in terms of max number of API calls within your advertised SLA.

2) Cost of platform at scaled utilization based on load projections. This is where you can figure out how to make money when negotiating committed or volume-based pricing for specific customers.

3) The overall human cost of building and maintaining the platform. Don't forget that you're not just covering the price of running the platform, but the time that you and possibly others have put into it. The last thing you want is for success to force you to make your platform more expensive because it's grown past the available sacrifices a single person bootstrapping an application can make. You'll be able to retain and delight customers better if your pricing model accommodates a mature business that supports actually paying someone a salary from the get-go.
The example seems to use `␞\n` as a separator rather than just `␞`. I assume their proposed standard is more definitive.
One thought is, generally - either make real money out of it, or win a competitive battle out of it. Don't do something in between. So, charge a lot (make money) or charge zero (win competitive battle).

Who are your customers?
Regulations will appear. There are already regulations about radiation exposure that will be immediately extended into space travel if no regulatory body acts quickly enough.

A short search gave me this number, apparently for the US:

> 20 mSv a year, averaged over defined periods of 5 years with no single year >50 mSv

This basically prohibits paid-for space labor.
> I fear that participating online with other humans will require "proof of self"

This is a huge fear of mine as well. I can't see how I could ever accept such a thing, so it would be the end of my use of the web.
Not really. Bullet would just orient itself to minimize eddy currents. People would start using thin disc shape bullets that would slide through the magnetic field without much trouble after orienting themselves in the best direction.

I remember the drama around 'Linus doesn't scale', I think that's what ESR is talking about.
But then Linus used BitKeeper then created git..
Their examples if anything convinced me not to use this for a long time.

I need to zoom to be able to tell these apart, so I'll need editor support for it to be convenient to work with these anyway. And then clicking through to the comparisons, it demonstrates the difference existing support for CSV "everywhere" makes - Github renders the CSV examples nicely as tables, while again I need to zoom in to see which separator is which for USV.

Maybe once there is widespread editor support. But if you need editor support for it to be comfortable anyway, then the main benefit vs. using the old-school actual separator characters goes out the window.

I'm excited to announce the launch of Ponder, an AI-powered meditation app, now live on the App Store.

Ponder uses AI to tailor guided meditations to your emotional needs and preferred techniques. With a few simple inputs, you can create a meditation or meditation course based on your needs.

Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback. Can't wait to hear how it enhances your daily practice!
That would all track with the linked piece. He basically says "you're smart, and you're relying on that instead of taking the time to learn a way to do it that works best when the code has to be shared."

I think that's what he means by "gifted". Innate ability that can propel you through personal greenfield projects, but hits a wall when you're not the only cook in the kitchen.
I've used the ASCII delimiters in a webapp once; Javascript in the browser formatted data with them and sent it to my server via HTTP POSTs. I was a bit nervous that something in the path would break the data but happily it all just worked fine.
To be very explicit, if |x| = |y| = 1, we have |x - y|^2 = |x|^2 - 2xy + |y|^2 = 2 - 2xy = 2 - 2* cos(th). So they are not identical but minimizing the Euclidian distance of two unit vectors is the same as maximizing the cosine similarity.

Good luck!

Ah fair enough. Of course you could configure your shell/editor/whatever to make control characters visible. Seems like if you were going to edit USV or ASV by hand you'd probably want a customized editor anyway.
Steam Deck doesn't cost much more and allows you to run anything you want.
I agree, except about this statement: "it wouldn’t be too difficult to port most models to Jax"

--> We tried such ports at https://kwatch.io (the company I work for), and it appeared to be much harder than expected (at least for us). I don't think so many people are capable of porting an LLM based on PyTorch + GPU to Jax + TPU.
Fortunately, with web environment integrity websites will be able to force you to use an approved browser (Chrome) with a verified local binary (that will forbid an adblocker and report your browsing to Google) and you won't be able to do anything about it.

"What does society need? It needs information that is truly available to its citizens—for example, programs that people can read, fix, adapt, and improve, not just operate. But what software owners typically deliver is a black box that we can’t study or change. Society also needs freedom. When a program has an owner, the users lose freedom to control part of their own lives."

> Can I use effective technological measures (such as DRM) when I share CC-licensed material?

> No. When you receive material under a Creative Commons license, you may not place additional terms and conditions on the reuse of the work. This includes using effective technological measures (ETMs) that would restrict a licensee’s ability to exercise the licensed rights.

> A technological measure is considered an ETM if circumventing it carries penalties under laws fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, or similar international agreements. Generally, this means that the anti-circumvention laws of various jurisdictions would cover attempts to break it.

> For example, if you remix a CC-licensed song, and you wish to share it on a music site that places digital copy-restriction on all uploaded files, you may not do this without express permission from the licensor. However, if you upload that same file to your own site or any other site that does not apply DRM to the file, and a listener chooses to stream it through an app that applies DRM, you have not violated the license.

It seems you would have to link to a download from the description? Hiding the derived work some place else seems to get in the way of reuse.

If the material is already distributed elsewhere and you post it as~is on youtube it seems the license is satisfied?

It really bothers me that so much of this is focused on the developers, and that is the problem here. How many users actually want this? I am sure some, but I doubt it is a significant number.

I have said this before here, but I am not looking forward to when this likely eventually comes to the US and as a user I have less control over my phone, not more.

The walled garden is why I chose an iPhone and continue to stay with the ecosystem. Not being at the mercy of dark patterns that many website still employ when trying to cancel subscriptions or just not reminding me of a yearly subscription about to charge.

Apps having no choice but to get money from me by going through the App Store is a benefit to me as a User. Developers I also hope quickly realize that if they try to push me to subscribe outside of the App Store they will get $0 from me instead of 70%.

I continue to be worried about the Facebook's and similar companies (we already know Epic is doing it) forcing users outside of the App Store.
Governments generally don't like when legislation is being flauted publicly.
The cost of switching device ecosystems can be comparable to the cost of renting an apartment in richer countries, and exceeding the monthly income in poorer countries. Yet we clearly recognize that renters need protections and can't reasonably be told to just move apartments over anything. So why shouldn't we hold phone ecosystems to the same standards?

Especially when both do their best to make migration to the other difficult.
The CVE/CVSS system lacks ability to deal with soundness issues.

If the language or a library promises to catch a mistake, and it doesn’t, that’s not automatically exploitable unless the programmer has actually made that mistake. If there wasn’t a promise in the first place, there would be nothing to report.

Unfortunately, CVE can’t see the difference between reporting a bug, or reporting a theoretical possibility of having a bug that never actually happened.
Some of these things could happen, but I don’t see Rosetta being kept around indefinitely. Keeping compatibility layers around becomes increasingly expensive with time, encumbering OS development and encouraging devs to never update their apps. It also opens up possibility of multiple compatibility layers being maintained at the same time, which multiplies these issues.

It’s much easier to just make virtualization of old versions of macOS easy to facilitate compatibility with old software, which they’ve done — one can spin up a full featured GPU accelerated macOS VM with just a few lines of Swift, so you don’t even have to use third party software if you don’t want to.

A few years ago I read a blog post about that topic with a lot of refs to scientific papers.
The blogger preferred the term "coffee shop food" over "(highly/ultra) processed food". It includes the packaging in plastic. I don't know if newer research has ruled out the wrappage as a cause, or if the plastic lobby manipulated to focus the ingredients.

The blog pointed to the very high effect size the experiments revealed (mostly mouse/rat model), and the impossibility to track it down to specific (groups of) substances. Unfortunately i cannot find the blog post.

To me it smells like microplastics might play a role.

Democracy represents the will of the people, who, in general tend to care about morality and doing the right thing (although of course they can be misled and manipulated). Capitalism tends towards maximising profit, which often comes at the cost of doing the right thing.

> I wonder why you believe democracy is somehow biased to selecting "people who care about doing the right thing".

Because people are. Why would something be considered "the right thing" if there weren't people believing it?

I realise that Trump campaigning explicitly on doing the wrong thing and still being popular, would seem to contradict this, but he's an outlier, and apparently many of his supporters still somehow believe that whatever he's doing is somehow right. Of course they've been misled and manipulated, but that's the big vulnerability of democracy (although it's also possible in every other system).

galaxies moving would be like balls floating in a pool. The galaxies are moving across the water.

Space moving would be like balls placed on a bed sheet and the sheet expanding. The galaxies aren't moving- the sheet is.

What's actually happening is more like galaxies moving around on a sheet that's being pulled further at all sides.
Most other job search tools scrape EVERYTHING from the source sites and do the matching on their end which I don't think works great. Especially the scraping part, one can't simply scrape all jobs that exist on linkedin.

So I think this approach will be a lot more accurate in finding jobs. Also have some features planned that should make it stand out, for example de-duplication of jobs posted multiple times in different locations.

Not a lawyer and what I'm going to say is vastly oversimplified, but the gist is:

- A 501(c)(3) is for the benefit of the public

- A 501(c)(6) is for the common interests of their members

They both have advantages and disadvantages and are appropriate for certain scenarios.

Examples are:

- A 501(c)(3) Python, Scala, Zig, Mozilla, Apache, SFC, FSF

- A 501(c)(6) .NET, Rust, Eclipse

And before the Apple fanbois come and tell you how Apple is a multi trillion dollar business so they know what they’re doing, a reminder that Apple didn’t want the App Store in the first place, and wanted 3rd party apps to be web apps.

It was the popularity of unofficially created apps running on unlocked original iPhones (which led to many unlocking their iPhone) that convinced Apple to create the App Store.
The issue I had with Sourcehut was minor yet very annoying: My memory might fail me, but I remember I had a hard time navigating from a project's home page to its source code or mailing list. IIRC they are hosted on separate subdomains, and not linked with each other, which is terrible UX. I had to manually change the URL host to git.sr.ht to get to the code.

Also, user error, I paid for it to learn that they forbid commercial projects — I like my code host to be free of any restrictions. Sadly Codeberg is the same, so the choice is either the awful Git(Hub|Lab), or self hosting.

I guess my payment served as donation to a FOSS-friendly service, which isn't too bad karma-wise.
I’m also a 47 year old, obese individual who has tried the gym, and although I can stick with it for about 2 months, it’s never sufficient to really move the needle.

The TL;DR is that the playlist metadata file (mpd or m3u8) references multiple fragments, and arbitrary file offsets within those fragments. Slice your video into fragments (using standard video processing tools), embed them into PNGs using standard twitter-compatible file format polyglot tricks, and upload them to twitter.
