I really enjoyed this essay (and have made a note in my little Moleskin I carry everywhere to pay more attention to Escaping Flatland).

It’s full of observations and insights I’ll be chewing on for days at least but what strikes me immediately is the exhilaration of the love story: certainly I’ve known for a long time that I wanted something like that even if I wouldn’t have used those words. And I applied a crude heuristic: I only got seriously involved with partners who were in some important sense smarter than I am, but I think this essay has given me words for something I intuited long ago but never quite got by the scruff, which is that only once or twice if that did that represent a person who made me better at becoming better, and it was long enough ago I didn’t realize the gravity of that in time to make the necessary choices.

The exhilaration derives from remembering what a game changer that represents when you encounter it, and for me at least how all the brighter colors and incandescent bliss and endless possibility and so many other unpronounceable intangibles that falling truly in love represented.

There’s something magical here and the authors have succeeded in setting at least one pen to paper (and physical paper at that) trying to pull on a thread long neglected.
I'd just like to be able to get music off my iPhone to my mac without having to buy a third party app or buy a subscription to Apple Music.
Nintendo has always been sue-happy. What's notable here is they haven't been able to find a way towards injunctions against hosting the source. It's not going to be difficult to find non-hostile hosting.

You can archive that by appending sort -n, so the whole thing becomes:

curl ... | jq '.[].license.key' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

You can even turn it back into json by exploiting the fact that when uniq -c gets lines of json as input, it's output will be "accidentally" parseable as a sequence of json literals by jq, where every second literal is a count. You can use jq's (very weird) input function to transform each pair of literals into a "proper" json object:

curl ... | jq '.[].license.key' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | jq '{"count":., "value":input}'
Absolutely critical for performance, though. If there's a way out of this it might have to be better virtualization.
In what sense?

Fast picking up new things?

Fast pumping out keystrokes?

Fast because you're spending 14 hours instead of 8 per day?

Fast trying something and then ditching it away?

Fast because you don't consider the long term consequences?

Fast because you can focus and you're not distracted by career, politics, and administration?

Google, in 2021 [0]:

> While the PoC demonstrates the JavaScript Spectre attack against Chrome 88's V8 JavaScript engine on an Intel Core i7-6500U 'Skylake' CPU on Linux, Google notes it can easily be tweaked for other CPUs... It was even successful on Apple's M1 Arm CPU...

And Augury [1] in 2022 also affected Apple's A14 and M1 chips.

So have Apple been attempting to mitigate and failing, or ignoring the issue?

Surely chip manufactures can't keep ignoring these fundamental flaws

I don't know exactly what model you had, but the truth is 13" models from that time were a complete joke in terms of power for the price.

Beating this in a thicker chassis with a more efficient processor is not exactly an achievement.
Non optioned 13" models still suck in terms of power for money, but at least in the Apple Silicon age they are less ridiculous.

But if you don't fanboy and don't need the battery life you should realize they are still are very bad deal in term of capabilities.

Your argument doesn't hold water, because this isn't a recent development.
That rule means you can't have any other controls on screen, because it's not true for them and you can get into a semi-saved state. I believe it was just a niche designer factoid which sort of made it to reality by posts claiming that it's true. But it's way below the user uncertainty threshold to become a useful rule.

I'm not against immediate effects on switches (or any other controls), but they must clearly signal the immediate action. E.g. I've seen some UIs presenting a short spinner on its button and delaying the colors and/or the shift.
I believe most ageism in hiring is not really anything to do with how good you are, or how fast you are, it's to do with young people having fewer things tying them down (e.g. young kids or aging parents) and being more available to work harder for the company. Mothers in particular have been on the wrong end of this for years.
Note that not all experience transfers along with acquiring new skills. E.g. I haven't used any tricks for building table based HTML layouts in a while. This process happens everywhere to some extent, but it happens especially often in fields where tech advances quickly, like in IT. I guess that's the core of the issue?
In some European countries luckly we get to enjoy them in tech.

I agree, but my point is still that an emulator could reduce Nintendo hardware sales. (And realistically speaking who's going to buy Tears of The Kingdom when they're running it on an emulator?)

Of course, my other view is that emulators should be perfectly fine and a great exercise in reverse-engineering, but Nintendo won't see it that way.

It would be an interesting experiment to release a high-performance emulator console that only worked with the physical (presumably legally-purchased) game. Perhaps it would fill a similar legal niche to DeCSS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeCSS

The title to article ..."secret keys"... had me thinking that this vuln might be a path to extracting the private keys from the secure enclave.

I'm not sure, but after a bit more reading, it sounds like private-keys or symmetric-keys can be extracted from other user-space or possibly kernel-space code execution. And NOT from the secure enclave.

Can someone provide/find the Japanese name of "Zen-Nippon Chick Sexing School"? I'm curious about it and want to find some primary sources, but I can't even find the name.

I'm not saying it's bullshit by the way; I'm fairly familiar with Japanese, after reading https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8B%E3%83%AF%E3%83%88%E3... it looks to me that indeed so-called "Vent sexing" was discovered by Japanese in 1920s (the exact year isn't very consistent, Wikipedia says it was 1924 for Japanese version and 1933 for English version; while this article says 1927).

But I can't find any mention about a school. I tried to search "全日本 初生雛鑑別" with various words of "School" in Japanese but find nothing.

No, I'm saying that on a population level, it's rational to assume the luck of the circumstances you're born into, on the whole, is likely to be reflected in your average income over time, and while it's a blunt tool, taxing the people on the higher end more than the people on the lower end is one way to try to mitigate the influence of that good or bad luck and level the playing field.

The "messaging interoperability" point strikes me as a weird one.

In the US, people tend to use iMessages, which is not interoperable with other ecosystems. But iPhone place no limitation on third party messaging apps. Indeed, the rest of the world simply ignores the existence of iMessages and uses other applications for messaging (these vary per country/region, but I don't think that iMessages has any significant market share in any other country).

There's not technical reason preventing people in the US from using another messaging platform, and there are no limitations imposed on third party messaging apps. It's really just a cultural issue of people _choosing_ iMessages. Probably just network effect.

> Users should be allowed to grant grant “always” permission, for that app version. The next time it gets updated, they get hit with the prompt again.

I think users would hate that since they don't understand why the app keeps asking again and again. Some apps are updated on a weekly basis.
The way I worded it, it might seem wrong - and I agree with you. When I said "constant" I meant without any optimizations to speed up shorter contexts, so with full designed context, architecturally, it is constant. You can pad shorter active contexts with zeroes and avoid attending to empty spaces as an optimization, but that is just an optimization, not an architectural property. If you want "more computation" you fill the context with relevant data (chain of thought, or n-shot stuff), which is the "trick" Karpathy alluded to (it provides more context to attend to), and I agree with that analysis.
Amiga was really well used in broadcasting for a long time, even when ST and Amiga where on their way out, at least until graphic cards in PCs became a thing.

It seems the "Infinite sample packs" only generate samples, not loops? Or did I miss something?

Also, the pricing is a bit high and I'm not a big fan of the subscription model. To compare:

- Kick 2 from Sonic Academy, a kick synth, comes with a large library of samples and lets you control every parameter including pitch, transient, click, comp., etc. -- it costs $59 one time

- Reaper, a versatile DAW, is $60 one time

Granted, samples libraries use subscription and a similar pricing, but they usually offer a huge selection (and there are excellent free ones, such as Spitfire).

Soundry is at the crossroads between software and sample library.

Maybe a more generous free tier would help?

I've been diving into Python/FastAPI + HTMX development and while I love both separately, I felt like the combined tooling could be a lot better. Jinja2 doesn't really satisfy me. At least not in this tech stack.

Thanks!
"It's Been a Game Changer": Examining Treadmill Desk Use When Working from Home
Many years ago I met someone who only eats egg whites. I watched him pouring yolks into the drain. I asked, why do you do that? He answered, because yolks contain unhealthy fats.

Years later I realized that we all who eat eggs and poultry are not better. We discard half of all hatched chicks. I eat eggs. I decided to accept that ugly fact. If you don't, stop eating eggs and poultry. Or raise your own chickens. Anything else is hypocrisy. At least we can try to minimize the suffering of the animals.

Technology can help. Maybe. If technology costs are lower than the costs of discarding half of the chicks, it will be successful just because it is economical. Moral outrage won't change a lot. Usually when I am buying or eating eggs it is easy for me to not think about discarded male chicks. Then I pray for forgiveness.

I prefer to buy eggs where the label says they are from free-range chickens, however.
HTML's Readability, Robustness, and Intuitiveness
The real question becomes - is it used more by people who want to pirate the game, or people who don't want to buy a Switch? I've never bought anything from Nintendo before, but started considering getting one game because I could run it on Streamdeck/Yuzu. Now I'm definitely not buying it.

There's a lot of people who want to play Nintendo games in a higher quality who use emulators for it.

Apple giving their tracking product a 3 or 4 year head start over it's competitors.

If you're going to compete against other products on your platform, give it a level playing field.
I agree and I don't fully understand the why of it.

I remember coding PL/SQL to emmit HTML in Oracle around 1999 or 2000 and using functions to code the various elements.

That got old and repetitive very quickly - for instance, everytime I had to correct a spelling error, I had to recompile the code.

To get around it I used one or two tables to hold html snippets to decouple the business/backend logic from the frontend, and stopped using the PL/SQL functions completely.

My speed of developmet skyrocketed, and separating and abstracting the frontend from the backend made so much sense.

A few years later, I was doing web developemt with Python using the Zope framework (not many people know about it tiday, I think).

It uses a specialised serverside templating language called TAL (Template Attribute Language)[1] that basically builds the front end dynamically, and then you feed it data from the backend.

Very neat and allowed me to build reusable compoments as well as collections of a schema definition (basically a dict), html template(s) and the code to validate that the input matched the schema and could be rendered.

Or something like that - its been 2 employers and almost 20 years since I worked with that :)

I did build a small extension for Wordpress using a PHP implementation[2] of TAL a few years ago, and TAL still works like a charm :)

My point is that I still believe there is value in keeping python out of the html-templating, and in keeping the front end logic apart from the backend logic.

There is something I am not understanding about the renewal of mixing HTML/GUI template with code, but I haven't fully found it yet.

> The first is their attempt to redefine what the market is in order to declare Apple a "monopoly": they've posited a completely separate market for "performance smartphones", and tried to use total revenue rather than number of units sold in order to push Apple up to having a very high percentage of this invented market.

This comes across as very strange, they must not have much confidence in their ability to prove that Apple holds monopoly power in the overall smartphone market. I suspect if they lose this case it's going to be because the court rejects such an intentionally narrowed market definition.
> why microbes or UV light or salt work in this linear process

It's not linear, it's exponential! And, as I said before microbes are special and are not well represented by half-life models, but they aren't too relevant for plastics (and that's the reason we call plastics ”non-biodegradable”)

> that I found a fairly recent plastic bags (~10 years old) that was badly degraded

I've spent the past two comments explaining why this happens, and why the plastic bag can appear degraded even though there's little degradation overall in the material itself.

It's OK that you don't understand the phenomenon, I'm probably at fault here for not explaining it well enough although I did my best. But if you don't understand it, please at least admit that it's what happening even if it sounds counter-intuitive to you.

It's not the lab conditions that are at fault here, it's your understanding of the mechanism and my limited abilities to explain them to you.

If you are curious I'm pretty sure you can find much better explanation on YouTube or elsewhere, as the internet is crowded with extraordinary science teachers. And if you aren't that curious (that's OK, life is short we cannot learn everything) then at least please admit the result and move on. Do not assume that “everybody else is wrong including polymer scientists, and microplastics don't exist because once I've seen a bag that was in bad shape”. It's just your intuition is just wrong, and that's OK.
> there's little downside

Top performers may be concerned about having their wings clipped. Hollywood is a good counter-example. But American auto unions, for example, created the precedent of a rush to mediocrity.
