It's called "temporary" but I don't see anything about when it is removed. Even with a sunset period (like the US Patriot Act had) it's not typical for states to give up power like this, so I'm guessing this is the new normal :-(

Is there specific intelligence leading to this? It seems very to the point about being related to Russia.
So, Dutch intelligence basically has legal leeway to pry anywhere. But I'm curious how they would hand over some "fact" to Police whom cannot normally access that information without some kind of warrant or legal approval from public prosecution.

How does that work in practice (under Dutch law)?

> Most writers have already realized that LLMs can't write in any meaningful way.

I know a professional writer who is amazed by what LLMs are capable of already and, given the rate of progress, speculates they will take over many writing jobs eventually.

> If you use GPT-4 day-to-day, you've probably encountered this sense of a capability wall before.

Of course there is a wall with the current models. But almost every time I hit a wall, I have found a way to break past that limit. Interacting with the LLM as I would interact with a person. LLM's perform best with chain of thought reasoning. List out any issues you identified in the original output, ask the LLM to review these issues and list out any other issues that it can identify based on the original requirements, then rewrite it all. And do that several times until it's good enough.

At work I have found GPT-4 to exceed the linguistic capabilities of my colleagues when it comes to summarizing complicated boring business text.
Neither did AWS when they started. They were just building out data centers to run their little book website and decided to start selling the excess capacity. Meta could absolutely do the same, but in the short term, I think they find using that capacity more valuable than selling it.
Good news is there are a lot of techniques for acquiring "VR legs" that don't require experiencing nausea. The most classic ones involve:

1. using a very strong vignette (like looking through binoculars) to preserve a fixed frame of reference, and then gradually adjusting the vignette to obscure a smaller and smaller % of the FOV.

2. when using a joystick to move the camera/character, only move forward and rotate to turn, marching in place any time you move forward (so you if you would normally strafe or move backwards, rotate first instead and then move forward).

3. use joystick movement for no longer than a couple of seconds and then stop and let your body calm, then move forward a couple seconds, repeat, stop any time you even begin to feel any nausea and take the device off and then come back after 20 minutes.

With these sorts of accommodations, a large percentage of people who get nauseous in VR can overcome it and end up with zero nausea as long as camera movement is fixed or its controlled my player input.

I trained myself on Skyrim VR with those comfort settings and I was totally fine after a couple of days (whereas before I couldn't use joystick movement for more than about 3 minutes before intense nausea kicked in).
I think people could have said the same thing about the phone network, because it wasn't obvious what they were missing: everyone already had a phone, after all, and they worked just fine; I guess we could open it up so more people could make phones but do you really think that is going to change the world? Turns out it did, and it shouldn't be lost that Apple is a beneficiary of this... imagine if they, at best, had to pay AT&T a 30% "core technology fee" on their sales of iPhones because the iPhone was using the phone network or, at worst, were simply never allowed to make a phone at all. Apple controlling what is viable to release and then making it 30% more expensive is absolutely having massive effects on the market and is slowing down innovation, whether you see it or not (and even if it somehow in a crazy turn of events actually didn't, we should still want our price break from real competition).
Is AI Smarter Than an 8th Grader?
There's a very nice premium in execution. (And vertical integration.) For example their laptops are selling like hot cakes ... because they are seen as better made then the competition by consumers. (Sure, it seems the (premium?) laptop market finally getting some competition thanks to Framework/StarLabs/etc.)

Obviously the same is true of the iPhone. And software is a big part of it. (I don't want to deal with Dell and Windows. And Asahi is getting better day-by-day.) And hardware too. (M1, M2, M3, etc.. and the A series chips allow their devices to really shine with the big battery, etc.)

And ... while I don't like the actual UX of Apple-land, I don't like it either that Google with all their PhDs and big brain still cannot fucking solve the jankyness.

Yes, they will hopefully be forced to give up the free money rent from the walled garden, and hopefully it will encourage them to invest in being a good platform, invest in software, win/keep market share on merits instead of by decree.

Apple devices are pretty lucrative to make apps on for a variety of reasons.

From the article it seems they think the quest is well served but are otherwise open to it though.
It's always easy to make a decision when you're not the one paying the cost for it, or don't imagine you will be.

In fact, one of the red flags for decision makers is the inability to understand the above tenet.
I came across your product a couple weeks ago. Looks impressive.
Visual Studio (not VSCode) has this for C++, though it can be a bit finicky. It’s infinitely better than AI autocomplete, which just makes shit up half the time.
It's less "concerning" and more "flagrantly ridiculous".

A company has to pay Apple half a euro for every executable download from the company's own website? If Microsoft tried this shit with Windows people would be apoplectic.

Twenty years ago, the excuse was "we are restricting your freedom because of what happened in 11/9."

Then in the internet age, the excuse became "we are restricting your freedom to save the children from online abuse."

Now, Europe has unlocked the option to restrict its citizens' freedom because of the "war."

I ask my fellow computer engineers what the hell are we waiting for to pool our minds and resources towards a truly decentralised, encrypted and anonymous overnet. Something a little more practical than I2P, Tor, Freenet, etc. "Oh bad people will use it to do crime" is not a serious enough excuse to just passively accept the government tightening the noose around our digital presence, for total control by the State, all in name of safety and security. Was Bitcoin (2009) the last hurrah of the crypto-anarchist ideals of freedom of thought, freedom from the Big Brother and freedom from the ever-looming State?

Probably they are expecting a lot more people to buy and use Vision Pro than the amount of people having and using a Quest.

Also Vision Pro is about spatial computing, so perhaps it offers a better VR experience for VLC. Whereas with Quest you can probably get about as much use out of VLC as you’d like with the already existing version?
My personal take is that LLM is fairly good at replacing low level tasks with intuitive patterns. When it comes to a high level ambiguous question that actually has an implication on your daily works and the products, LLM is not helpful anymore than search engines.

Yeah, AI will do the easy and fun jobs for you. You will only need to care difficult decisions that you're going to be responsible for. What a wonderful world...

You can do it in C as well, although it's a lot clunkier. I've been doing so for decades when the effort is appropriate to the task.
They cover the costs of complying although likely wouldn't cover the costs of determining that a request was warrantless and rejecting it, so the incentives align with just blindly complying with everything.
Presumably a government could also requisition the private key of several root authority certificates (whether or not they "proudly announce" that is another matter).
Well cursing in an EV is the equivalent of putting an ICE car in neutral. Modern ICE do that as well. To answer your question it still slows down due to wind resistance and friction.

The dichotomy of how real world looks and functions and how it does according to the big corpos is astonishing and terrifying. And this is the yet another example - there's no failure in this rose-tinted corporate world, just a minor difficulty which will be portrayed as a success.

Honestly, I'm surprised Apple didn't come up with the overused standard reply #1: "We are excited to announce (...)", or the standard reply #2: "We've been working hard making XYZ experience better for you (...)"
VLC is open-source and free to use. How might they make money off it?

That said, I'm not surprised that Apple is more lucrative. If nothing else there seems to be less free/open software on Mac and a lot more paid options.
"To really solve novel problems with LLMs will take a large amount of research, experimentation and prototyping of ideas, but people funding this hype have no patience for that. I fear we'll get hit by a major AI winter when investors get bored, but we'll end up leaving a lot of value on the table simply because there wasn't enough focus and patience on making these incredible tools work."

...this is what happened in 99-2000. It took 3-7 years for the survivors to start making it usable and letting the general public adjust to a new user paradigm (online vs on PC).
50 injuries on a commercial flight is very unusual. The story is about half description of the incident and half background info on Boeing's ongoing woes. It doesn't seem reasonable to expect an engineering explainer on a breaking news story.

There are experts somewhere that can put events like this into context, but they're not cited and the story isn't written around that kind of analysis, so we're left to supply it ourselves. Human nature suggests that the blanks we'll fill in will be a disaster movie, because that's "fun" to think about.

That seems kinda patronizing, considering there's a first hand report describing the effect of the sudden drop:

“That’s when I opened my eyes and there was various individuals at the top of the plane. Just stuck to the roof and then they fell to the floor. And then I just realized I’m not in a movie, this is actually for real,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett.

Are readers supposed to just ignore this, or the pilot's comment that the plane apparently rebooted and he lost all control of it?
I think there is a strong argument to made that cassowarys are true living dinosaurs. They're really something else. The only bird to have be reliably and repeatedly recorded as killing adult humans, including an incident in Florida in 2019 where a hand-raised one killed it's owner.

Up to 150lbs of muscle, claw, and beak, and they can stand over 6ft tall.
Interesting. I was recently wondering if it might be time to move away from VLC, as two frustrations seem to be persisting forever:

1) every single time I try to full-screen a video, it goes to the wrong monitor, and is therefore invisible. Only way to get it back is to shift-right click on the taskbar button, choose move, and then use the arrow key to get it visible. Or I can avoid it by dragging the window to a side monitor and then back to the main one before going full-screen, but I have to do it every time.

2) It won't play gopro 5.3k videos. Only the first second of video plays, and then it freezes. Every other player handles them fine.

Both persist through reinstalls and multiple updates, plus much messing with settings. The whole appeal of VLC used to be that unlike other players, it "just works". No longer seems to be the case, at least for me.
Don't spend your life producing information. Spend your life doing things derived from information. If information is Free, what you do with it becomes the only valuable aspect of it.

Don't sell manuals. Write manuals, and sell labor (I will make your device behave in X way by doing Y, as described in my manual). Don't sell software. Write software, and sell labor (I will configure your computer to do X using Y software).

We have been held back so much by the artifical scarcity of information... it's absurd. It's nice to have a nice, cushy ecosystem where you don't have to compete in your domain (ie hardware manufacturers bricking devices for "unauthorized" upgrades / fixes, software proprietors having a monopoly on maintenance), but imagine a world where you had to compete or fail. I think we ought to try that sometime.
Wow, that seems super hard but unusable on desktop for me. No native keyboard support? I could overlook that, but the letter reveal is extremely slow to load for me. Could be an issue on my end.
A Vision for Embedded Swift (https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/visions/e...) has the details on this new build mode and is quite interesting.

Effectively, there will be two bottom layers of Swift, and the lower one, “non-allocating” Embedded Swift, will necessarily be a more restricted compilation mode (e.g. classes will be disallowed as they fundamentally require heap allocations) and likely to be used only in very specialized use cases. “Allocating” Embedded Swift should allow classes and other language facilities that rely on the heap (e.g. indirect enums).

Also, this seems to maybe hint at (most of?) the Swift runtime eventually being reimplemented in non-allocating Embedded Swift rather than the C++ (?) that it uses now:

The Swift runtime APIs will be provided as an implementation that’s optimized for small codesize and will be available as a static library in the toolchain for common CPU architectures. Interestingly, it’s possible to write that implementation in “non-allocating” Baremetal Swift.

I've meet a man that was about to get eviscerated by a free roaming domestic emu. The bird was domesticate, docile, curious about humans, smart and a little uncanny.

Some day, his dog started a playful fight with the bird, the game got more serious and the man, worried by the dog, tried to stop it and put himself between dog and emu. The belt received the single hit so instead to have an opened belly, velociraptor style, he just had a leather belt severed in two. In a second. Really lucky man.

He got rid of the bird not longer after that. The progressive disappearing of Emus and ostriches after a peak in popularity suggest that other farmers also had the same reveal one by one.
As long as they are proud of it. No bad laws have ever been implemented where everyone was proud of it, so this must mean it's not a bad law!! And the people rejoiced...just not on the internet as they didn't want to be spied on

You can encrypt DNS with DoH if you want, but the DoH provider still sees its you. You can take it a step further with Oblivious DNS over HTTPS if you really want to conceal DNS activity[1]. Note: this technology is rather new and experimental.

If you ignore how much energy you're burning while searching for dozens and dozens of articles that may or may not give you the answer you're looking for. I'd say the electricity that LLMs burn is nothing compared to my energy and time in that regard.
The most that the ATSB was able to determine was that the data corruption was basically akin to a C++ reinterpret_cast of "altitude" as "angle of attack", causing the 37,000ft or so altitude to sporadically be read as a 50 degree AoA.

The issue was not definitively traced to cosmic rays or another root cause.

Your contention is that the review process entirely fails at enforcing privacy and security rules that cannot be achieved entirely through automation, or fails at such a high rate that it may as well be entire?

That doesn’t reflect my experience submitting apps, nor as a user of Apple devices. It’s certainly imperfect, but it achieves a lot more than if they simply stopped doing it.

[edit] and in fact, some of the automated checks wouldn’t be practical to run on a user’s device—are those also totally ineffective?
And do they encrypt any of those details aside from while the data is in transit? My impression is that they don't.

I think you're articulating something about this proposal that bothers me.

The thing about the actual separators is that an editor could and should probably display them as they were intended, as data separators. It should be a setting in an editor you control, sort of like how you control tab width and things like that.

Just because a glyph is "invisible" doesn't mean it has to actually be invisible.

The symbols for the separators are hard to read, like you're pointing out, which means someone would eventually replace them with some other graphical display, in which case you were just as well off with the actual separators themselves.

They would have been better off advocating for editor support for actual separator display.
Apple makes a relatively small number of hardware models for their products which, per model, tend to massively outsell any possible competitor. Fewer models to test makes QA much less annoying and time-consuming.
