macOS is quite locked down. It's not possible to easily distribute software to macOS users that isn't code-signed and notarized, both of which require a paid Apple Developer account and Apple's participation. This is also true for "side-loaded" apps, not just ones distributed via the app store.

Yes, it's possible to run arcane shell commands to unset extended file system attributes to circumvent quarantine, but this is not "easily".
> Is it because game makers don't crowdfund any more, or because the press only covers AAAs now?

I took part in one campaign for a video game last year, but it's a niche game in a niche genre, so I don't think it's been covered anywhere. Though two video game projects I backed in 2020 & 2021 have likely been covered, though I haven't kept up with the news. And I agree that the gaming press have stopped covering crowdfunding, mostly I guess because all the failed projects and scams, not helped by the long delays.

Normalizing data doesn't fix the issue in the UC Berkeley case, because you still have to pick what to normalize over: do you normalize over the entire university, or separately over each department?

The answer to questions like that can't be found in the data. You have to go look at how the university admission process actually works, and what roles the university vs. the individual departments play in it.

Consider the geometric definition of the dot product of two vectors,

a.b = |a||b|cos theta.

This means you get cos of the angle between the two vectors by just dividing the dot product by the product of their magnitudes. You don't actually take cos of the angle to get cosine similarity (for one because you don't know the angle) you just use "cos theta" (calculated as above) as a proxy for how narrow the angle is and therefore how close the two embeddings are.

The paper in TFA shows that if you construct an embedding space such that that angle isn't meaningfully measuring similarity then a low angle doesn't mean two things are very similar. I have a similar paper measuring bears and woods but I haven't got around to typesetting it for publication yet.

> It strikes me as endearing, but naive, to believe that most people would be able to treat software as anything but a black box simply if the source code were available to them.

I don't think end users modifying software is a realistic scenario, but that doesn't mean there aren't realistic scenarios enabled by Free software.

Having (appropriately licensed) source code available means people can pay others (with the necessary skills) to adapt software to their needs. Closed source software greatly restricts or removes that possibility.

That might explain why it's so difficult to find ostrich meat for sale. It's a real shame, as ostrich meat really is absolutely delicious - it's sort of sweet, savoury, mildly gamey, beefy and chicken'y all at once! Meat has a nice grain too, making for pleasant eating.
> Ukraine invited NATO-aligned actors to set up bases along its borders with Russia. That has been considered by the Russians to be an aggressive act warranting a hostile response.

The bases in Ukraine intended for training Ukrainian intelligence staff by US specialists were established two years AFTER Russian invasion, and did not lead to any hostile responses beyond the usual death and destruction that Russia has been sowing all over Ukraine since 2014.
Siemens Ruggedcom Devices Impacted by 45 Fortinet Vulnerabilities
They were never particularly all that fast, especially not in the browser where support is far from acceptable. Most implementations rely on runtime magic, reflection, and other hacks.

So in that sense they aren’t all that modern as they’ve failed to evolve and keep up with platform evolutions.

Bebop just aims to generate code that modern and current with its target language, works everywhere, and avoids pitfalls protobuf suffers from.

I think there are 2 layers in an AI application that can be considered somewhat orthogonal:

1. Making your models network accessible in a configured way
2. RAG and any chaining code for model calls

For #1, this is probably going to start with pytorch since that's typically what research code uses, and get hand optimized over time as your application matures.

For #2, it seems like the most popular tools so far are in the Python space, of course that doesn't mean other languages don't have robust ecosystems for AI already and of course new things get developed all the time, but ecosystem size is important to consider.
I worked in this space on the CDN non-pirate side and it's basically the same thing but everyone (including the major ones you know) distribute all of their content like that over various cdns and they're all competitively tested against one another for errors/latency/etc and traffic auto-shifted based on live current cost + that magic.

If you're interested in some of the tools used that essentially re-unites from endless sources, auto determines bitrate, allows you to interject interstitial ads based on geography/user tokens etc, check out things like bitmovin. No relation, I've just used it. Then cedexis for the latency/error-rate magic that makes your cdns compete against one another. There's also jwplayer which a lot of video platforms like Univision and Fox use.

https://bitmovin.com/ https://github.com/bitmovin

Another interesting thing is how the DRM is handled, the video chunks that are all muxed/reunited/demuxed, etc on the fly- https://developer.bitmovin.com/encoding/docs/how-to-protect-...

I started out in video stuff back in RTSP days (2005ish), took a LONG break in that area (2016ish) and the systems today are so cool. IIRC back then everything was rtsp.

I actually have no idea beyond what you just mentioned how the pirate side does things so that's neat. I wonder what tools they're using.

Well you often can make it able to "process" 1m extra people: You can build overpasses, and tunnels, and taller buildings. But the cost-per-extra-person will tend to go up accordingly, to the point where you could spend an extraordinary amount attracting people out of the centre.

E.g. London's "Crossrail" / Elizabeth line cost $24 billion. Granted, it also allows some people to go through London faster, but I can't help to wonder what that money could've done if applied to attract businesses out of the centre instead. E.g. upgrading links between towns on the outskirts, upgrading town centres, and generally try to make it more attractive for businesses to be located further out.

Given the extraordinary costs it takes to do large infrastructure projects in London, I'd be very surprised if you couldn't get a higher return on investment that way, or by investing similar sums elsewhere in the UK entirely.
Crypto 'mixer' convicted of money laundering on Bitcoin Fog
I wondered about it myself but I think there's reason for that. DMCA safe-harbor and takedown process only apply to copyright infringement. However DMCA 1201 restricts "manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof [...]". You might want to process circumvention notices not because they are real DMCA notices, but because you are potentially trafficking anti-circumvention tools, you have no safe harbor for that, and you probably want to take it down ASAP to limit your liability.

WAAAAAAAY back when I was working for IBM briefly, I had an opportunity to play with Notes/Domnio briefly. I was impressed how far you could go with the system, and even in 2003-2004, pretty floored that the tech dated back to the late 80s.

I can't help but wonder how that basic engine that drove Notes/Domnio could be replicated with HTML/JS/SQLite/REST/OAuth2 nowadays, and be right at home aside these low-code systems, especially if modern UI/tooling/graphing/data connections could be iterated on the system. (As well as eliminating/solving all the jank that came with notes/domino)
Hmm, well intentioned but not a valid solution of course to any global technology, given the level of lobbying that the AI front-runners already do.. I don't see that inspiring people to even try in the US.

The Internet became valuable because it let the average person email or chat instantaneously from home for the price of a dial-up plan, instead of sending expensive faxes or long-distance per-minute phone charges.

AI still hasn't delivered something of that magnitude for the average consumer. Netscape launched in '94; the dotcom boom didn't happen until '98. Several years passed before the mania hit the markets. AI is in the opposite cycle: there is more corporate-driven hype about its benefits than anything concrete that's flowing down to the average consumer.

> Epic is the one that is removing my choice to play Fortnite through the App Store if I choose

Yes and no. I get what you’re saying. But Apple demanding a 30% cut is just as much of a reason for your choice being removed. If they didn’t demand that then Epic wouldn’t have done anything.

Neither party is innocent here, they’re both multinational tech giants fighting over our money.
A life full of exercise, diet, mental guides and therapy... the literally only thing that ever makes me do anything is drug-increased dopamine. It sounds reductionist, but it's literally just that in my experience.

Being a career long engineer, I'm not unaccustomed to breaking down huge projects into smaller things that can be parallelized, plotted in time, etc. We have to do it and get better at it.

But honestly, I think what holds most of us back is a better ability to just don't do that. Take that thing you want to make, and instead of planning out all the pieces, just make the tiniest possible thing that could possibly be of value. Using this example, just start with "Today" and the 4 buttons. Make a thing that shows your 4 buttons of exercise you will click on each day. You can probably make that today. No streaks or freezes or calendar view. Those are all great ideas, and you'll get to them. But you need momentum. And you'll probably decide you don't even like that calendar view in a few days. I think more projects need a kick in the pants of just do something small. Get it done today. See what the next task is from that point because it's probably not what you thought it ought to be during the planning phase.

This also isn't exactly easy either. It requires some thought and discipline and find the smallest thing and commit to shipping it without distraction. But it's also something good to practice at.
Give up on that bullshit and just get the work done.

Coming from the perspective of the DYI hardware community I have some thoughts.

Most DYI enthusiasts post a build. This includes usually a detailed parts list to a variety of sources.

Overtime this list ages and that can be quite fast. Parts go out of stock, deprecate, or are no longer sold by the particular vendors / URL posted.

I would love to see a platform that helps source and maintain those lists with the community. It could be an aggregate multivender list with a preference to your sources but allows a centralized purchase for the DYI kit. Perhaps there could be a small premium to help sustain the platform.

Utilizing the above idea they're also could be a co-op concept. This allows the community to buy parts/manufacture in bulk. Allowing x amount of people to sign up for x number of kits providing a nice price to all involved.
The very short is, that AT&T between 1974 and 1982, due to the telephony monopoly rulings, wasn't allowed to sell software. Thus they gave their research results to universities, like Berkely.

And yet those are all 32 bit ARM cores. Which in some way was "unavoidable" as I don't know what viable alternatives existed for a phone SoC in 2007, though someone can correct that.
ARM1132? That is not a core I have ever heard of nor can find any reference to. I assume it would be some ARMv6 ARM11 though, a uarch that was already quite mature by the time the iphone rolled around.
Yeah, I was recently reading the history of smalltalk and some of it's creators goals was to make it possible for everyone to be "computer literate". That is everyone being able to make their own programs without specialist programmers doing it.

In that book it seems that Kay eventually gave up that idea. Noticing it seemed that people would take years to be capable of doing interesting stuff with computers.

Which I think might be why his later research was more about just making code smaller and more comprehensible by domain experts.

Edit:
It is worth noting that the idea seems to have been picked up by Dynamicland via their Realtalk protocol. Though I suspect they have ways to go before achieving that goal.
Kickstarter was and will always be beholden to their credit card processors and a painful lesson in picking one’s payment provider carefully. It’s your payment processors fraud risk department which dictates which products and services you offer not your own team. This decision is a 100% dictated by pigeonholing themselves here and losing out to gofundme.

After Philips caused a stink about LifX[1], it was the threat of losing their payment partners that caused Kickstarter to ban all sales of hardware [2]. They would later walk back that decision but not before we launched our own open source competitor that went on to do $100m, including Bitcoin support in 2012 [3].

Which is to say decentralized payment systems solve a lot of problems for crowdfunding platforms. Specifically Kickstarter missed out on the explosive growth that GoFundMe captured because Kickstarters payment processor said “no” and GoFundMe’s said “yes”.

But switching to Celo or some other platform in 2021+ feels too little too late for a platform whose culture has ossified.

You're asking to go too far back in time.

The difficulty is we don't know what happened in the first planck second after the big bang, let alone before the big bang (if that's meaningful).

We haven't unified quantum mechanics and relativity. Hence we can't be certain that singularities exist, or that the universe started off in a singularity.

In both, ATT essentially traded government blessing of monopoly in core markets (long distance telecommunications) for agreeing not to expand into other markets (e.g. Western Union money transfers and telecom equipment).

And side point, ATT R&D (~1910 to 1925, later named Bell Labs) was originally funded after the company almost imploded due to short-sighted profit maximization at the expense of customer satisfaction / service quality.

I think it's interesting to imagine what a Google-thats-only-search or a Meta-thats-only-social look like, similarly plowing their profits into independent research labs, but without funneling them throughout the for-profit octopus conglomerates they are now.
I am not knocking your path. There are many paths to success. Do what works best for you. Some situations require pharma intervention imho, due to brain chemistry. Exercise, diet, and therapy were insufficient for me to reach my full potential. Now I run on all cylinders for $40/month (edit: medication copay).

What if we make the shielding once, put it in orbit and "borrow" it for each ride. Launching it from surface is expensive, between planets not so much.

Distance measures are only as good as the Pseudo-Riemannian metric they (implicitly)implement. If the manifold hypothesis is believed, then these metrics should be local because the manifold curvature is a local property. You would be mistaken to use an ordinary dot product to compare straight lines on a map of the globe, because those lines aren’t actually straight - they do not account for the rich information in the curvature tensor. Using the wrong inner product is akin to the flat-Earth fallacy.

We'd find thousands of "volunteers" for blood sports, but we disallow them. Letting misguided people, the poor, the unwell, etc sign up for capitalist-backed suicide ventures is extremely unethical.

Once allowed, the corrupting influence of money would take over. People would be guilted into this by family for sponserships and such.

Not that long ago a woman received a huge forehead tattoo for an online casino as a PR stunt. They paid hew a few thousand for this stunt. She said she needed the money for her kids.

I don't think you're fully understanding how many desperate people out there would sign up for this or be forced into this against their will under the dishonest guise of "volunteering."

Look at the near revolt of the early space programs for example both Soviet and Western, with astronauts and engineers demanding safety measures and more personal control of the spacecraft after high profile "dog eat dog" philosophy failures that killed and injured many. We've already been through this. It doesn't work.

Lastly, a lot of engineers might walk away from the job for ethical concerns because they dont want to build suicide machines. Look at how MD's refuse to be part of state executions in the USA, thus leaving a cottage industry of a fairly incompetent execution industry. Your best people would walk away from SpaceX, Boeing, etc if tasked with making suicide machines for vulnerable people. People have ethics and not all subscribe to bottom-tier "dog eat dog" capitalism "volunteerism," but instead are educated to know what that means and how that's historically abused our most vulnerable.
"Blowing up" immediately instead of corrupting random memory locations is pretty much what's desired though. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

The third-party developers that built the platform are becoming increasingly resentful of Apple and of the platform. It hurts all of us if they switch, even if we just want to "never think about computers".

This isn't 2012 anymore. Developers are into freedom and openness, and either Apple aligns itself, or Mac/iOS will have just as much appeal to cool indie devs as Android/Windows (a fraction of its current appeal). Apple platforms no longer feel exciting to devs.
