Back in the read-only OS days, we had a crude, but extremely effective capability system. I'm not asking for a return to 1985, but I do want things to be as safe now as they were back then. While there are places for things to hide in hardware now that didn't exist back then, the operating system models haven't been updated in 40 years, in terms of the use of the users authority.

It's equivalent to handing your wallet to the cashier any time you make a cash transaction... which nobody does except as a last resort in extenuating circumstances.
I see several converging factors

1) It’s impossible to distinguish between human and AI. Breaking a captcha is a resume building weekend project for any dedicated hacker.

2) The turing test has thoroughly been solved. There’s already a trend of accounts on reddit that reply with helpful but obviously ai generated content to farm reputation.

3) Spam and troll content is still an unsolved problem that requires a dedicated team to solve.

4) Communities themselves can be hostile, especially when the majority adopt black and white thinking.

5) Vetting new accounts is mostly done by verifying email or phone, and doesn’t filter out bad actors.

Some of these problems are solvable. The AI ones seem like a tall hurdle. There are some verification methods like video that AI struggles to replicate but it will soon be intractable to distinguish between human and AI online.
I agree. Judging from the price, there is no shortage of demand.

Just seems like University admins (and everyone in between) got involved to hinder a deal between inventor and commercializing partner.
I'm not sure exactly on how NVIDIA calculates FLOPs, but I do know for Intel's FLOPs, it's calculated from how many FMA units, how many loads can be done in tandem, and what the throughput is. And ye fp8 requires 2x less space. Sparse 2:4 might be less pronounced, since the matrix first needs to be constructed on the fly, and there is like a small matrix of indicator values.
I’ve seen this before! Indeed it has nothing to do with Python or the GIL.

The OS scheduler has to execute M threads on N cpu cores, while also balancing competing priorities like latency and power usage.

Because each separate process uses a naive timer, the timings will drift slowly due to imprecision and small process scheduling delays etc.

After enough drift the timers will sync up by chance (harmonics), at which point OS scheduler incentives can lead the timings to “stick” together seemingly.

This may be a bit tangential, but I find it fascinating that there seems to be a mechanical version of this phenomenon with ancient roots - lookup spontaneous synchronization of pendulums.
Oh interesting - is this in any way related to why the Israel flag went with blue?
Oh that iPadOS System Preferences is garbage. They also need to stop burying stuff in nested modals in there, good god.

Also, while on the topic of their desire to merge iPadOS with macOS, Stage Manager fits neither on the iPad (I own a Pro) nor on a desktop. Give it up, Apple.

This feels very much like OpenFGA[0]. I've been evaluating authorization tool for one of my side projects and honestly most tools feels like creating relationships in a graph-like database and querying to see if there is/isn't relationship between two entities. Is there more to this (besides the implementation details) or am I missing something from these tools?

Well, just don't use those apps, then, or use their website.
That is kind of my point. To claim that functions are somehow more secure than containers, or just standard process isolation (which is basically all container are), is just silly.

Functions are no more inherently secure than containers. Both abstraction are contained, until something exposes the external environment to them, both of them can be configured to simply not do that.

Feel free to come back to us when you have an actual example. The days of one person languages might be over, but we haven't seen any language created using a LLM yet. Much less one people complain about.
In particular, the input select multiple is atrocious with default styling.
I can't remember some research paper somewhere even if you do float32 multiplications, but keep the data in bfloat16 by just simply truncating the lower mantissa bits, and doing packing, you still get speedups, since matrix multiplication is bound both by compute and cache access. If you can optimize on the cache side of things, speedups are definitely there.
Amazing. This is sorely needed for Reddit.

Interesting how it can be different from person to person, mine looks nothing like that. For me it is not colourful, the border feels more like gray TV static than the rainbow in the video. Or sometimes it feels like a black and white stripe pattern, or sort of zigzag stripes that flash between black and white.
> Inspection station in my state made comment to me that EVs are failing inspection for rusted brake components because of their heavy use of regen.

Are you suggesting some metal brake components have unusual rust because of disuse, where they aren't being used regularly enough for friction to "clean" their surfaces?

Otherwise I don't see how regenerative breaking could cause rust, since the braking force is supplied by electrical fields.

nvtop or nvidia-smi gives you a good macro overview but I personally have found that utilization (EDIT: As reported by nvidia-smi) is actually a poor proxy for how fast your workload can be outside of just ensuring that a GPU is indeed being used

If you're here because you're interested in AI performance I'd recommend instead https://docs.nvidia.com/nsight-compute/NsightComputeCli/inde... to profile individual kernels.

I'm excited to find this. I've been aware of Game Boy colorization projects for some time, but I was always curious of how it was best to go about it. I understand the basic principles of how color memory was used in the GBC, but it always seemed a bit daunting to get into.

Most of the work I've done is raw hex editing (which I've always known wasn't ideal), so I'm curious about their methods here. I will admit that as someone familiar with the concepts but not the methods, what their compilation script is doing, or how creating it helps the project along, is a bit lost on me.
I actually like Stage Manager for certain workflows (on both my Mac and my iPad Pro). I don't leave it on most days, but it is actually something I'd miss if Apple removed it.

Wow, you're being generous. To me, Nostradamus could have predicted the 10-day forecast as accurately as some that I've seen from the 80s/90s.

It's June in Texas, so we'll just say the 10-day is going to be sunny, hot, no rain. It's California in June, so we'll just say warm with June gloom burning off in the afternoon; warmer to hot inland. I didn't use any science data, and my forecast will probably have just as good of a chance as one that did.

Nothing like the old Aggie weather station consisting of a chain suspending a rock. If rock is wet, it's raining. If rock is moving, it's windy.

Good writing is one of the hardest things to do, I have found. Writing tips are not that helpful because it's so situational and unpredictable in terms of the audience and how the work is received, and it's hard to generalize any specific methods that work especially well. Thank god I can make money with Nvidia and other tech stocks easily without having to make a living wit writing .sounds like the hardest ways to make a living. With investing, I don't need to worry about what other people think; just ride the trend.
Apple is so generous.
I'm on the team that implemented this, so I'm happy to answer questions. I'll give a brief technical overview.

It's broadly a system for publishing metadata on posts called "Labels". Application clients specify which labeling services they want to use in request headers. Those labels get attached to the responses, where they can then be interpreted by client.

This is an open system. Clients can choose which labelers they use, and while the Bluesky client hardcodes the Bluesky moderation another client can choose a different primary Labeler. Users can then add their community labelers, which I describe below. We aim to do the majority of our moderation at that layer. There are also "infrastructure takedowns" for illegal content and network abuse, which we execute at the services layer (ie the relay).

Within the app this looks like special accounts you can subscribe to in order to get additional filters. The labels can be neutral or negative, which means they can also essentially function as user badges. Over time we'll continue to extend the system to support richer metadata and more behaviors, which can be used to do things like community notes or label-driven reply gates.
They also spend more on forecasts as a share of GDP. It's a pretty bleak picture — it's a bigger cost for them, and they still get worse results.
It really does undermine the legitimacy of their claims that they should be the only source of apps, for safety reasons, of course. That reason alone is why they "should be better"; It would serve to legitimize their dogma.
Title is misleading - users can pick additional filters, but can't opt out of any of Bluesky's own censorship without going to a third-party server entirely.

One they missed that I got burned by and am still bitter about: a few years ago (I believe macOS Big Sur) they just up and removed support for 1080i displays. No hardware change, one day 1080i works, you “upgrade”, and then 1080i is suddenly gone. No explanation, just because fuck you, user, I guess.

Thank you, whoever you are on the Graphics & Displays team, for your excellent contribution to the code.
I'm not sure it's quite the same thing though. It's not a strat, it's a judgement call. And, they can put a bet on at time t and then publish at time t + 1 min. This is done by hedge funds, they do publish/pitch their ideas sometimes.

I actually recently switched a project from bevy to Godot and agree, it was really nice and easy to get started. Godot is shockingly simple and intuitive compared to something like unreal engine.

Bevy was also great, but is definitely more of a library and there's not a lot of mature plugins. My use case was a web browser compatible game (wasm compiled bevy) that used websockets for networking. It didn't seem like too much of a stretch, but I didn't end up getting anywhere I wanted to be with bevy unfortunately. Hopefully as it grows it becomes a better option!

But with Godot I ported my code and had it working in the browser with websockets based multiplayer shockingly fast, even having never touched gdscript before!
Nah, I bet they'll let people install apps from anywhere, but for those apps they'll purposefully crack open the app sandbox to truly allow anything & everything, then when malware/scams hit Apple will be like "see, we told you it was a bad idea "

Predicting it now.
FS races in Rust are UB as well, they're just scared to say that very explicitly. They hide behind this phrasing:

"Many I/O functions throughout the standard library are documented to indicate what various library or syscalls they are delegated to. "

And just think about it rationally for a second. The FS is implemented by the kernel, which doesn't give a damn what language you're using. So Rust cannot possibly guarantee anything about it. Everything about Rust's FS API is every bit as full of UB as C++'s because it's a shared system with external processes - Rust can't guarantee shit. They just make you go look up what the syscalls are to find out what the guarantees (or lack-thereof) actually are instead.

wtf are you talking about? The dude was held against his will for 6 days in a psychiatric facility
Rust’s borrow checker does a nice job of formalizing the ideas in this post with & and &mut (shared reference and exclusive/mutable reference, respectively). The unsafe keyword (and the interior mutability pattern) provides exactly the right escape hatch for things like TableInsert and the join operation in the post.

People like to talk about its memory safety, but it’s the fact that the compiler checks for data-race freedom that really sells rust for me.

Languages like Java claim to be memory safe and type safe, but what does that actually mean if a concurrency bug means you have multiple CPUs stomping over your objects’ internal state in race?

Ok I got a first cut of Ruby parser in - the latest commit on Rails was a little sluggish but it works!

Right now the parser intentionally tags modules as classes, we made some assumptions in the generic parser code for other languages that don't quite align with ruby's notion of modules, but that'll be adjusted in the near future.
The fact that airlines chose this to compete on suggests they in fact believed that this was something that consumers at least value to a higher degree than some other amenities. Which suggests they would probably have price sensitivity to it at some level.
Sounds like their sandbox and permissions system is lacking then.

Hmm somehow I can go to any website in a browser and be just fine hmmmm
No, other clients -- including forks of our open source client -- can opt out of our censorship (if we're really going to call it that). I mention infrastructure takedowns in my other comment. If we ever cross the line on that layer, you can run your own infra, which again is open-source.

P.S. Ironically, HL7 messages have something literally called a "field separator" but don't use the field separator character, usually they use vertical bar.

For comparison, when I went to CSUC it cost ~$3000/year for tuition (2024 dollars).

> If we really want to empower individual users we should be looking to inject more competition into the social media markets as well.

Sure, but you can do both.

> More "app stores" that do nothing but offer the same apps while bypassing Apple's protections will not benefit users.

It's not just the same apps though. For example, the license Apple uses for the app store is incompatible with the GPL, so no one can make an iPhone app under the GPL or use existing GPL code in one. That license is one of the things that allows collaborative projects to form and right now that can't happen for iPhones.

Likewise, the $100/year fee deters hobbyists from creating apps.

And Apple prohibits certain types of content in their store, e.g. adult content or P2P apps, which some users would want.

> And if the 30% Apple tax is the real problem then why not legislate against that directly?

Price controls are generally a bad idea. The cost of hosting the app installers is generally negligible, but a few apps could be huge, and then it isn't, so how much should it cost? Can they charge a flat percentage of sales or does it have to be per-GB of transfer? What happens when the market price of storage or bandwidth changes over time? What if it's different in different regions?

Legislating rules to handle all the edge cases is a fool's errand when competition would handle it for you because anyone who charges too much would lose business to someone who charges less.
Well most certainly in many cases a flat fee even annual and not a percentage.

Also if I bought visual studio, MS couldn't tell me what I could make my program do, or outright refuse to let people use my program.
Can you describe that workflow? For myself, real estate on an iPad Pro screen is a premium and apps are self-contained; on macOS, I want full control over size and position on all three axes.

Another aside though, why can’t I scroll the app list vertically on iPadOS rather than be constrained to just 4 ‘recent apps’. The moment I have to reach for something not of those 4, I have to go to the exposé view and scroll horizontally to find it but that also requires I relinquish my current app window focus. Why not just grant us the ability to scroll the app list in Stage Manager vertically, the 4 recent apps it shows now is just a stack, so let me scroll the whole stack.
that's fair, I get this sentiment with other products I try as well.
we have work to do on simplifying the app further, especially on first contact

This is by mass, which is a weasel metric that discounts all gaseous emissions, and the smallest particulates that stay in the air.

Impact on health is not linearly proportional to the mass.

It's almost the opposite - the smallest particles can linger in the air and get absorbed.
You could eat a chunk of a tire without a significant health effect, but breathing the same mass of almost any gas would kill you.
In this context, by UK do you mean Ukraine? Because I can't see how the United Kingdom would make sense.

Anyway, assuming it was Ukraine, then, yes, the western equipment made a lot of difference. In the first months of the war it was the Javelins, and the NLAWs. Then it was the HIMARS. Then the anti-air defenses, like the Patriot. All these things absolutely made a difference.

The problem is that there was not more of those. But that was by design. You could say that not in a thousand years would Putin actually use nukes. But I bet you said he would not invade Ukraine until the day he did.

Right now Ukraine is still standing, and Putin did not use nukes. It could be better, but it could be worse, much worse.
Sigh.

If you refuse to actually read the findings of Feist (or at very least the wikipedia page [1] that does a good job of summarising the ruling and it's implications), then I'm not really sure I can be bothered to repeat and expand upon the above explications of how it applies to this case.

To quote wikipedia:

The ruling has major implications for any project that serves as a collection of knowledge. Information (facts, discoveries, etc.) from any source is fair game, but cannot contain any of the "expressive" content added by the source author. That includes not only the author's own comments, but also their choice of which facts to cover, which links to make among the bits of information, the order of presentation (unless it is something obvious like alphabetical), evaluations of the quality of various pieces of information, or anything else that might be considered the author's "original creative work" rather than mere facts.

The key part for this case being "Their choice of which facts to cover".

> You have cited no factual source for your wild, speculative claims that Wardle's partner was deemed to have a copyright interest in the word list or transferred such interest to NYT.

How can I? As I said, nobody has seen the paperwork, so there is no factual source that says either way. And it really doesn't matter. What does matter is the possibility that NYT do have the correct paperwork.

There is no way to be sure about the possibility that the wordlist might be copyrighted (or not) and who actually owns the copyright, short of a full court case on this exact issue.

I'm not a lawyer. But I suspect any intellectual property lawyer who was asked about this topic would advise their client against using the offical wordle wordlists. Not because they know for sure, but out of caution.

Besides, it's really not that hard for someone to derive their own wordlist from base principles (as you have pointed out above). We are only talking about a few days of effort if they take the same approach of manual classification and the piece of mind for closing a possible legal venerability is (in my opinion) more than worth it.
