Interesting read, but the conclusion doesn’t go into detail about the reasons WHY biometric authentication is better.

I assume the main reason is that if you’re using Touch ID then you’re not inputting your password so there’s no way to get tricked into putting your password into a malicious dialog.

I also assume it has something to do with how Touch ID is built into MacOS so that it doesn’t transmit that data outside some protected layer? Or else there’s theoretically the risk that an attacker can steal your fingerprint (unless I’m completely misunderstanding how Touch ID works).

Would this also apply to other forms of biometric authentication like FaceID on iOS and Windows, Android, and other OS biometric authentication?

Funny, I was just working on this same thing last week. I ended up using 16 bits per move. As other comments here note, you could do it in fewer bits, but everything is a trade-off: with speed, size, and what the goal of your compression is. For me, fixed-size, two bytes per move seems good.

Also, I don't bother with storing capture, or check, because those you can infer from the game state. Again, depends on how you be using the result - I just wanted to be able to re-play the game state.
What I do is call person B and then when the call is started add person C. Usually in a group chat if I hit the call everyone button it’s by mistake haha
Does LLM inference require significant bandwidth to the card? You have to get the model into VRAM, but that's a fixed startup cost, not a per-output-token cost.
Somehow, for the first time ever, I recently heard the idea of the 13 month year and I sort of nodded my head in interest. Then I heard someone breakdown the history of calendars and it really blew my mind. Mainly the amount of thought that went into it and the incredible span of time it was revised and discussed!

The implication being that Mass Media villains inevitably tended to be African American, Russian, or Arab. They were often portrayed as speaking English poorly, uneducated, and klutzy. Speak to an African American child of the 1980s and, yes, they notice this. Not sure why you would find this funny, this was a very serious issue where Mass Media decided to centrally write and cast only a handful of minority groups as villains.

Some journalist is Sabine Hossenfelder.

And in this piece she is both excited and cautious, explaining fairly well what’s at stake.

It’s interesting because I think her writing follows her thought process:

- ugh? Yet another attempt to reconcile gravity and quantum physics

- wait a minute, adding randomness to gravity is not a terrible idea

- what? They say it explains both dark matter and dark energy? How cool!

- meh… it probably doesnt work.
But if other compositor also used it, that would make it easier for hyprland users to use cursors that weren't designed specifically for hyprland. It would also be useful for apps that want to use custom cursor shapes (like, say, games).

I see what you're saying, and... maybe? I do think we need to pick apart two questions that I don't think I kept clear. On the one hand, "given the rules we have, how much can we infer bad behavior of decision-makers in that system because someone is disbarred for a crime they are not charged with"; this is more of what I had in mind, and I think I stand by my position of "based on the rules we should expect to see that when the system is performing nominally, though it's not a bad idea to look closer." On the other hand, there is the question of whether these rules are appropriate. I think philosophically there is something to say for "we should disqualify people from positions of trust faster than we should jail them", but that doesn't rule out the possibility that the system is abused in the ways you describe. The practical probably should win out over the philosophical, here, but I don't have the information myself to weigh in.
This case seems to be a result of the airline's bad processes rather than Boeing's, at least so far.
> Mistaking side-effects of the system for the goals of the system.

Reminds me of the saying 'The purpose of a system is what it does'[1], which offers a viewpoint that if the side-effects and the goals conflict often, the side-effect itself should be considered as the goal.

With a better coding you don't need more than 8 bits for a move (less for some).

The implementation should store a state machine for the game, a struct for each pieces, and also the board with index to the pieces (occupation).

There is only 16 pieces for each player, the two players move one another.

The Naive would be that you index the pieces (4 bits) and store the movement after that,

Pawns 2 bits for movement (2 forward, 2 diagonal)

King 4 bits for movement (normal move 1 + 3 bits, castle 1 + 1 bits)

Knight 3 bits for movement (8 possible move)

Rook 4 bits for movement ( 1 bit orientation horizontal/vertical 3 bit new position )

Bishop 4 bits for movement ( 1 bit orientation left/right diagonal 3 bit new position)

Queen 5 bits for movement ( 2 bit orientation horizontal/vertical/ left/right diagonal 3 bits for new position)

This way you need

Pawn 4 (index) + 2 (movement) = 6 bits

King 4 (index) + 4 (movement) = 8 bits

Knight 4 (index) + 3 (movement) = 7 bits

Rook, Bishop 4 (index) + 4 (movement) = 8 bits

Queen 4 (index) + 5 (movement) = 9 bits

But you can encode the pieces index in another way, that the Queen got 3 bit index and other pieces got longer index (Pawn 5 bits)

index bits + movement
000 + 5 movement Queen -> 8 bits

00100 + 3 movement King Normal -> 8 bits

00101 + 1 movement King castle -> 6 bits

0011x + 3 movement Knight (2) -> 8 bits

01xxx + 2 movement Pawn (8) -> 7 bits

10x + 4 movement Bishop (2) -> 7 bits

11x + 4 movement Rook (2) -> 7 bits

Also other bit allocations are possible, I don't know if it's worth it to make the Pawns index 1 bit longer, but in this way the max 8 bits required for a movement. (You need the state machine for the "decompression", also have to track that the black and white Pawns are moving in the opposite direction. )

There can be further compression, if you check the possible move for the piece.
ex. the first possible Knight movement is only 1 place, so no need to store the
movement. But this need more calculation.
Nit: Does the plate need a fifth I?

Also 12 needs to be mirrored I think.

Otherwise lgtm.

It makes this go away and prevents their internal emails from being news stories for the length of the trial. No discovery, no testifying for execs, I mean I kind of get it.

A ROTH IRA is designed so you pay taxes up front and _never again_. This is the whole point. It is easily available in the USA, I even have one. Peter Thiel used a self directed ROTH IRA to make a ton of money. He will never have to pay taxes on that, because it’s in a ROTH IRA. This is not a tax loophole.

He _may_ have engaged in insider trading or something, in order to make so much money in the Roth. That should be protected, but is really not related to the fact that he used a Roth.

I'd argue that eventually the short-term focused people will always take over and ruin the company. When times get tough long-term goals are hard to stick to. Investors, ownership, etc get spooked and look for a way to try to solve problems now, losing sight of why the company was moving on a path that only pays off in the long term.

In the case of tech companies, I fully expect to see them shift heavily towards the short-term whenever the tides turn. VCs did it last year, as soon as money dried up and economic concerns rose VCs shifted from investing with a goal of say 1 in 20 companies succeeding to only investing money in companies that appeared to be a sure bet.

This. Some people are just not great writers, but when you ask them “what do you want to say?” they say it well. The next step, “okay, just write that”, never happens. They just use the 50-person all-hands weekly sync to do the saying part.

That is illegal behavior, but has nothing to do with it being a ROTH IRA. I basically agree with your stance, I just don’t think ROTH IRA‘s are to blame
Does Nix make it difficult to properly modularise nix files (flakes or not)?

Because it certainly looks like the things you listed are separate/orthogonal and should be in separate modules/files.

Having many years of Java experience this is the reason why I stick to Maven (not moving to Gradle) - it is opinionated and strongly encourages fine grained modularisation.
That doesn't really make sense unless they have a way to flag higher-risk charges and route them to a processor that is more risk-tolerant (and usually more expensive). Eg. I could see segmenting the charges for the first month or two into a higher risk bin, and then moving recurring customers into low-risk bins on processors with cheaper rates.

Ah, apologies for getting things wrong. Thanks for explaining it and making it clearer. I just saw the hostility in that thread and that's how I interpreted it.

BTW: I have nothing to do with Flox, I'm just ordinary Nix user who actually likes flakes and also wishes it would get removed from the experimental flag. At this point I agree there's no going back. If flake was removed tomorrow there would be a huge uproar and countless of setups broken. The ship already has sailed and continuing on keeping it behind experimental only undermines what "experimental" supposed to mean.

> Why does this keep happening?

Apple has invested in developing the full stack for their products. Not only do they have the full stack of components for the products but the entire toolchain to develop those products. This gives them a very strong foundation for pretty much any product they want to pursue.

The AppleTV and HomePod both use older A-series SoCs and run iOS with a custom shell on top. They get all of the iOS media and peripheral handling capability "for free". Both projects can focus on TV or speaker features since the base OS is largely a solved problem for them. If they need some special consideration from somewhere in SWE they just file a Radar. They don't just get binary blob dumps of firmware from outside vendors and have to beg for bug fixes and hope their contract is big enough to get some consideration.

The Vision Pro leverages their ARM SoCs, base OS, and all the motion coprocessors that have been in their phones and watches for a decade. Novel improvements from the Vision Pro's development will just feed back to those components and make it into the next phone, watch, or whatever.

Most other companies don't actually own their whole product stack. Even Microsoft is at the mercy of their suppliers with the Surface line. They get what Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD have to offer. Smartphone manufacturers are grabbing Qualcomm and Samsung SoCs which are collections of Cortex cores then slap Android on top hoping that Google's latest version is better than the previous version.

It's hard to really make leapfrog products when you're shipping the same shit as your competitors and trying to compete on price.
Not the parent, but the problem is that applications that don't want to draw custom cursors are (or were except on gnome) still responsible for drawing the cursor. So instead of saying "i want a pointer cursor" when you hover over a link, you have to figure out what cursor theme the user is using, figure out what size you should use for the current screen resolution and scale, find the appropriate image for your desired shape, theme, and size, and render that to a surface. And hope you did all of that consistent with other apps the user uses.

That operating system (a hard fork of Google Fuschia) was really designed for low-power AR wearables and made almost no considerations to supporting VR (or like, any existing software, which was one of the major drawbacks). Too many systems designed from scratch with no compatibility with traditional OS APIs. I don't think it would have been viable even with 5+ more years.
VROS is already an Android fork.
I would say they were closer to the problem but not necessarily the physics of them. And that doesn't really have anything to do with why their solutions were simple and robust, they just didn't have any other choice in how to build things. Their limited knowledge and manufacturing capabilities made designing complex solutions difficult and they were robust because they didn't understand the physics well enough to build them with slimmer margins.

There's a saying along the lines of "It doesn't take a great engineer to make a bridge that stands but it does to make one that barely stands.".

As for being approached with the same care, well that's hard to say overall. I don't think you'd see a project like the James Webb be successful without the care of alot of people though.

I do have mixed feelings about the education requirement that is a wall for some people. I know alot of folks that could probably have had great careers as engineers but were stopped by the high end math needed for the degree. I also know many people that have zero engineering intuition that made it through and work in the field.
I'm not sure how this one is an airline process issue. Boeing recommended checking pilot seats, pointing to instructions on disassembling the seat motors.

Towards the end of the article it mentions that motor switches should be securely covered and not used during flight. Both sound like potential design flaws - if the motors should never be used during flight they should have covers that can't be left open and/or the motors should be disabled while in the air.

I'm using Mellanox ConnectX-3 cards, IIRC they're HP branded. They shipped in Infiniband mode and required a small amount of command line fiddling to put them in ethernet mode but it was pretty close to trivial.

They're PCIe 3.0 x8 cards so they can't max out both ports, but realistically no one who's considering cheap high speed NICs cares about maxing out more than one port.

I guess if we're talking about the Indus Valley Civilization[1] we're looking at a range of 700-2000 years based on how you define the start and end, but even that cannot be considered as equivalent to "India" which was formed as the union of multiple princely states around the general region after the end of colonial rule.

> I do not understand this because because the more we go back in history, the more likely only rich people have access to education

Yeah, this is what makes Northern Europe kinda special. Literacy became fairly widespread after the printing press. Even people who couldn't afford to send their children to school were educating them at home. There were various subpopulations (not socio-economic classes) in Northern Europe that were basically entirely literate by the 1600s. Like the Puritans, who were mostly middle class (which is to say: one minor calamity away from financial ruin). And by the 1800s basically all but the poorest Northern Europeans were literate.
Nice summary how some development progresses. Sometimes it’s struggle after struggle after struggle.

This is where a lot of intuition founders, and comically bimodally.
