Prosecuting the negative behavior that comes from drug use is seen as being as bad as prosecuting the drug use itself. Yes, shoplifting should be a crime with consequences if you are rich, housed, unhoused, clean, or an addict, but the moment the city police crackdown on shoplifting they are accused by some people of going after homeless drug addicts.

They just put a new playground in at the Ballard Commons here in Seattle for the very reason you mention. It is publicly more acceptable to ban and actually prosecute anti social behavior near a playground with kids, than other places. This is the same commons that turned into a drug encampment for a couple of years during the pandemic, and the main reason they decided to put the playground in…
Much of open source software is given away free, as in beer. Would you rather that be paid for and possibly also closed source?
Thank you very much for saying this, I totally agree.
This is despite the fact that I want absolutely no part of "the metaverse" or whatever folks want to call ubiquitous AR/VR, and I don't want it to become commonplace in society. This is mostly for personal reasons, as I feel like I've finally gotten a handle on my cellphone addiction and have recently started realizing how much happier I am spending extended amounts of time in nature and away from tech. I like the idea of tech as tools, and I've enjoyed playing games on VR headsets for a short while, but extended use of a computer strapped to my face is a WALL-E nightmare for me.

All that said, I really didn't like the tone of this article. Yes, I agree that "big tech" has caused a lot of harm in society. But it's not that hard to separate that from many good things it has done, and this article felt so cynical like it just wanted to piss in everyone's soup.

We should celebrate it when big companies take real risks, even if they swing and miss. What would the author of this article prefer, more stock buybacks?
This is going to be an absolutely enormous market, and it would be really good if an open source option wins it, instead of another big tech walled garden.

The good news is that it’s a software solution, not hardware. Open source can only win in software. So it has a chance.

Open source, self-hosted, all-knowing assistant connected to the Internet, that doesn’t leak data to companies, and that filters out all their ads, messaging, and CTA’s.

Tech-savvy people will be able to have one of these pretty soon even if big tech wins the broader market.
Wow. Why did this get flagged?

We were doing threading beyond that in 2010, you could easily have rendering, physics, animation, audio and other subsystems chugging along on different threads. As I was leaving the industry most engines were trending towards very parallel concurrent job execution systems.

The PS3 was also an interesting architecture(i.e. SPUs) from that perspective but it was so distant from the current time that it never really took off. Getting existing things ported to it was a beast.

Bevy really nails the concurrency right IMO(having worked on AA/AAA engines in the past) it's missing a ton in other dimensions but the actual ECS + scheduling APIs are a joy. Last "proper" engine I worked on was a rats-nest of concurrency in comparison.

That said as a few other people pointed out, the key is iteration, hot-reload and other things. Given the choice I'd probably do(and have done) a Rust based engine core where you need performance/stability and some dynamic language on top(Lua, quickjs, etc) for actual game content.
Hard logic dictates maybe the other diagnoses were something else.

It says to use DEET? No. Use permethrin (on clothes) and picaridin (on self).
Regardless of limitations on the Mac side, there's simply no way to stream data into the Vision Pro fast enough. WiFi can only come close with very heavy compression and a low bar for reliability. One 1080p60 uncompressed video stream is 3.2Gb/s, already well beyond what WiFi can be relied upon to deliver. The existing single 4k desktop streaming is pushing the limits of low-latency, high-quality compression.

I’d say “way” is a stretch, and the technologies that largely are making it such could be argued were popularized by ggml which was written originally for the M1 platform.
You can export them- just did so by touching the context menu on the mobile app then “copy item JSON.” This includes the private key for the passkey. Here’s one I just exported: https://gist.github.com/jacksonwelsh/f5ad519770b1adde40a6ee9...

Lack of affordable housing is the reason people might fall into despair and then drugs, but the people who get into drugs are basically a lost caused compared to the ones that don’t. The drug addicts…you can throw millions at just one case and make no progress in getting them back in their feet, the non-drug addict just needs housing.

At that point, isn’t a moral judgement, just an effective use of limited resources (do we burn money trying to treat drug addicts who try to cook meth in the housing you give them, or do we spend $2k/month getting that non addict an apartment so they can get a job).
Thats rotten!

There is a good reason we bury dead people six feet down or cremate them.

Chucking dead bodies onto a compost heap in your garden seems so wrong. Its the flies that would put me off.

Remember rotten.com?

Save a small fortune on embalming and embalming fluid though.

Embalming fluid is pumped through the carotid artery and it takes about an hour to remove all the blood from an average-sized person and replace it with embalming fluid so its very costly.
Just go to your PCP and get your one time course of 2 doxycycline pills as soon as you get bitten.

I also spray my hiking/yardwork pants and boots with permethrin. DEET is pretty useless, I’ve seen them walk right over DEET sprayed boots onto my pants. They make it about 5 steps through permethrin. I’m surprised advise from Harvard is getting this wrong.

If you want even more protection, you can buy stocking like slacks and a shirt specifically made for this purpose on Amazon. I wear these when I’m weeding or clearing brush.

All the above methods haven’t failed me in 5 years.

It's not that kind of impossible. It means that even if you are tricked into giving your passkey to the attacker, it's cryptographically useless to the attacker because a passkey is bound to a specific origin.

Maybe in this case, because these are phone pictures, which are quite heavily processed (sharpening, denoising, tone mapping, local white balance, local contrast). The raw image may contain a bit less of that stuff.
I'd also add that VPNs require payment so you basically have to trust them not to link your payment details or use impractical payment methods (e.g. mailing cash) and even then, that too can have issues.

Yeah, I didn't say that.

Firstly, they didn't expand or alter the Constitution.

I'm not sure where you got that from. Reading back and I don't see it anywhere.

Stated again, hopefully more clearly; by exercising restrictions on China they've reestablished that China is not "the people" described in the Constitution. So, it's not protected from congressional acts.

And second, they didn't need to do that anyway. Foreign policy is a power reserved for Congress and the President. No amendment ever restricted that power.

See Article 1.
Because 400K units of this kind of product, at this price point, with this lack of “killer app” solving a problem people didn’t know they had, is a phenomenal success.

"unproved national security problem" and yet Congress was fairly well galvanized to vote for this bill after their intelligence briefings - multiple senators seem to want the briefing declassified: https://www.npr.org/2024/03/21/1239691465/tiktok-ban-bill-se...

Say what you want about the US government, Americans vote for them and their job is to synthesize the information brought to them and take action. The Senate obviously wasn't as overwhelmingly enthusiastic about this bill as the house, but it sure seems like people on capital hill saw something concerning.

We should all probably want this information to be declassified so we can judge it for ourselves, but until then it feels unjustified to say there is no basis for the national security concern
Yeah, that bifurcation makes practical sense. Have you considered WebAssembly for the game script layer?
You're right about all that. The question is: at what point did it become inevitable? Or, what would have had to happen to stop it?

We know that it didn't, but that's hindsight: "whatever happened, HAD to happen." But the players did have choices.
Apple is so huge, with such a large and fervent fanbase, they could literally release the MacBook Wheel per the Onion it would still probably sell a couple hundred thousand units.

It's not like they're selling at small volumes at first, i.e. to early adopters who love it and will convince their friends to be later adopters. Early adopters are mostly either returning it or saying it's basically shelfware now.
Sounds like vscode integration few years ago, yes.
I've had it three times as a kid and the most recent one didn't produce a "bulls eye" rash. I knew what it was by then and went to the doctor, symptomatic, telling them that I had limes, but they hadn't seen it before and told me I had the flu.

I got a second opinion with blood work that came back positive for limes.

So if you have "the flu" symptoms around a time you were had been running around grassy area where limes is a thing, ask for blood work.
Maybe, but phrasing it as a lack of content sounds like you’re waiting for a new game cartridge to come out. A more interesting criticism is what tools or workflows you can’t do.

Do you have a source for this? After reading the W3 spec[0] this seems entirely antithetical to the Passkey model and additionally raises concerns about the integrity of hardware mfa devices.

> Rust game development feels like a solution looking for a problem to fix.

The same can be said for ordinary CRUD backends. Java, C#, Go and Typescript (Node, Deno or Bun) are all memory safe with good type systems and more than good enough performance. Evangelism around Rust is unfortunately still a thing. A good example is the latest hype in the community because some Google Manager said at a Rust conference that writing Rust is as fast as writing Go. Anyone having done more than a toy program in Rust and Go knows how wrong this statement is. The reasons are given in the article.

Looks pretty cool.

I'm not sure I'd really want to design an electronics project in jsx though. That's just xml, but also JavaScript. And I guess I think of it more as data than as code.

I was thinking a simple language would be nice, something alternative to a GUI and mouse.

But I was thinking more along the lines of LT Spice's netlist. Or plantuml. Or markdown

Also, I was thinking of html and css. But not so much the syntax as the separation of structure and styling.

A. I think that's a vast oversimplification.

B. I would like to address the housing crisis per se as a first line of defense rather than wait until people are homeless and then try to decide who merits help and what the cost-benefit ratio is and etc.

For many people, if there was enough affordable housing, this whole argument about their merits and defects and etc wouldn't happen at all. There would, no doubt, be other arguments but my research indicates lack of affordable housing is the primary issue here.
Virtually all those search results are about wifi blockers, not cellular blockers, apart from one random unproven claim on Reddit.

This isn't something I know much about, it seems to have only became legislated in Western Australia in the mid 80s

I suspect the justification is keeping track of whole corpses so that in the event of an odd corpse turning up it can be quickly determined whether this a mysterious and possibly criminal death or just an off the usual track recorded death.

Private land burials on farms and family properties generally aren't an issue permission wise, local councils can be advised and would almost always agree unless there's some bizzarro small town politics thing going way back or something.

There's a few things at play here

- decomposing a body in a manner that's useful to the land much as bllod and bone fertilisers are,

- tracking identifiable body parts (like entire skulls, leg bones) so as to ease future investigations,

- biologically 'safe' disposal, ensuring rotting meat sacks aren't growing pathogens and leaking into water supplies.

There's overlap here with other 'common ground' legislation concerning pig, cattle, sheep, cracass and waste disposal, etc.
I suppose any kind of hierarchy would need to be informal, based on workers following the examples set by other workers who they trust to have the right expertise. But unlike in a typical formal hierarchy, this wouldn't need to be those who have simply worked there the longest, or have the greatest drive for power over others, or those who have the best connections with the owners. There wouldn't be any fringe benefits (payment) for having greater influence through expertise.

I think there is an important distinction to make. Siri is actually two things — there are voice informers (“Please explain how photosynthesis works”) and voice assistants (“Remind me to call Dave when I reach my work location”).

The former is really straightforward to implement with an LLM — it’s basically what an LLM is.

The latter is a whole different story.
Open source can never "win" a consumer market because a team of engineers is never going to be able to live off of giving away software for free, nor can you sell free software to the public at large. Open source works in B2B contexts because businesses either collaborate on building infrastructure they need to sell their core product, or because you can sometimes sell support and commercial licenses to businesses.

This is precisely why Linux has overwhelmingly won the server market for at least a decade, but it is still a bit player in consumer devices (except Android, which is barely open source and is controlled by a huge corporation selling our data).
Oh, well everything I said is documented and public, so if there's something I'm missing I'd love to be cued in. I think the rest of my point stands, of course.

But I'd love for you to tell me the truth about insulin, because I'm sure that the law(s) that attempted to cap prices had nothing to do with the prices being lowered to that exact amount at the exact same time?

> until we shake off the current policies rooted in puritanicalism.

Why is anything that is not 100% supportive of people putting needles in their butts is deemed puritan and reactionary?

We had a long public consultation recently where I live, because the city wants to introduce free housing for drug addicts with a safe shooting room. Next to a day care, a park, and a bridge, and in an area that currently doesn't have any of the east-van type population. It was basically locals speaking against and support associations speaking for. Locals were called bigots, racists, needed to check their privilege, stereotyping. They weren't allowed to say there'd be more crime because "there won't be".

There are certainly better things that can be done to help addicted people, but just counting on being nice and giving them clean needles won't change the current curve. The dealers are not the ones making daily life literally shittier through human feces on the sidewalk, and bikes disappearing from under your butt if you only gaze elsewhere for a minute. Their violence is mostly internal. The real impact is from the thousands of these people who need a revenue stream to keep subsisting while trying to surf their high one last time, ride that they'll preferably have slowly on a sidewalk or crossing a street with their pants midway through their calves.

I pity those people, their life must be horrendous, and they don't get any help getting out. But I don't recognize their right to fuck themselves up to a point that it's a nuisance for everyone, and it becomes everyone else's problem to unfuck them.

If you replace them by state sponsored products, you'll just keep the same trend. The only way is to a) break the cycle that makes the problem worse, by making it illegal (prison is not an answer but at least allow cops to confiscate) and breaking the procurement chain and b) fix the existing problem by introducing real programs that get those people out of their addiction, rather than just helping them live through it.

And yeah I know that neither are possible, it's a simplistic point of view, but the policy of just letting things be a vaguely supporting it has only made things worse, and just saying "screw it, nothing can be done, just go with it", that doesn't sound like a winning stance to me.

Sounds suspicious to be honest. If you get a direct IPv6 address to your computer (as opposed to an IPv4 behind a NAT), shouldn't you raise firewall instead of lowering?

You can always dip into raw pointers and come back up for a reference, or eg. do a transmute to a static lifetime. Absolutely not okay according to the language rules but it will compile and will probably also run without an issue if you're not doing something wrong in your code (eg. Wanting to keep a reference to a string while you also mutate it.)

I'm actually surprised that the author didn't seem to consider this much of an option.

The forward delete key is super handy.

I got a usb-c card reader, which works with the iPad as well. The iPad and magic case is my laptop.

Why do I like modular? The display on the old iMac quit, meaning that the whole thing goes in for repairs.
The author's articles seem to be relentlessly negative about all technology. Being negative on everything is a low-effort way to get attention, but it doesn't really contribute much to anything.
I was initially pretty excited seeing this! It didn't last long though.

I found the documentation really hard to work through (no examples that don't require wading through hundreds of lines of JS/React, no API documentation?), and at the time I was looking, half the links were broken and the doc site was really, really slow.

The library says it works with any tech stack, but only lists JavaScript frameworks.

The reason we use SortableJS is because we don't have to rewrite the HTML manually as things get dragged around - from what I could glean, things like the placeholder drop line have to be added as part of your rendering template?
