The local councillors in Toronto who are most opposed to 4-plexes tend to be ndp affiliated “champaign socialists” who want to stop “greedy developers” from destroying “family homes”.

There’s also a more suburban right leaning group who don’t want the “socialist downtowners” to densify their car oriented way of life (Doug Ford comes from this area).

It’s really quite sad and the end result is there are a handful of areas that get super dense development and there’s relatively little midrise.

1) Things don't "Just Work" with IOS. I regularly have to help people figure out how to connect their i* to work network, install 2FA apps, find missing 2FA notifications, find freshly installed app icons..."It Just Works" if you have done it 100s of times before and know what to do.
2) That is just plain and simple user hostile behavior that is not tolerated in case of any other company except Apple by Apple users.

> In a first for any Apple platform, PCC images will include the sepOS firmware and the iBoot bootloader in plaintext, making it easier than ever for researchers to study these critical components.

Yes!

> Software will be published within 90 days of inclusion in the log, or after relevant software updates are available, whichever is sooner.

I think this theoretically leaves a 90-day maximum gap between publishing vulnerable software and potential-for-discovery. I sincerely hope that the actual availability of images is closer to instant than the maximum, though.
I'm serious here: that's why I don't touch JVM languages. Sure, maybe you use OpenJDK. Have fun arguing that point against Oracle's legal division.

It's too bad. I hear that the JVM's an engineering marvel. It may be, but Oracle darn near beat freaking Google in a lawsuit. What chance does anyone else have?

> Idempotency refers to the ability of an operation to be performed multiple times whilst still yielding the same outcome.

I'm not a fan of this definition because it might give someone the wrong impression.

Suppose the operation is "deposit $10 to account 1234". If that operation is processed twice, a total of $10 should be deposited to account 1234 (for it to be idempotent). By the definition from the article, it sounds like perhaps it would be idempotent if the operation deposited $10 each time it was processed.

Simple, stop being scared at made up ghosts from your computer and start being very concerned about the very real threat that is ever increasing global temperatures and pollution. The only people that want you to be afraid about AI, are the people who are either selling AI or are paid by the people that sell AI. It legitimizes their grift and keeps the hype going. The "threat" of AI is nothing compared to what is in store for us once large areas of our planet become effectively uninhabitable.
I'm not sure you disagree as strongly as you think. I don't feel like the OP was suggesting that all decluttering is intrinsically bad. In the case that you describe it's pretty easy to argue that it's good because it made things easier to use (or at least harder to fuck up because you don't have to figure out which button is useless).

There is an obvious exception: if you control the code. Many extensions have github repos where you can clone them and build your own version.

I have a long running personal extension where I collect all the functionality I need from open source extensions. Audit once, run forever with minor API updates every few years. The only third party ones I run are uBlock Origin and 1Password's official extension. With ChatGPT the audit/integration process has become loads simpler.

I even have a native extension bridge like 1password to interact with a Rust agent (to save and index visited pages, etc.)

That's part of it, but Death Note is, IMO, the worst series that you mention in your comment (Gintama is definitely not my cup of tea, but I can understand the attraction to it by those for whom it is). I ought to be in the target audience for Death Note, and I found it to be mediocre.

It seems that in the past things where somewhat different. The sole focus on maximizing shareholder value is something that happened quite recently. A lot of people trace that to Jack Welch who took over General Electric in the 80's

Critically, it appears the surfactants in Roundup are the nasty bit, not glyphosphate. To my knowledge, they don't permeate the skin. But if you're inhaling it, it's in your blood stream. It shouldn't be shocking that a chemical your body isn't used to designed to keep organic compounds apart messes with at least some of your biochemistry.

> Copyright, at least in the US, cares about the effect of the use on the market for that specific work.

Not quite. The historical implementation of copyright has mostly protected individual pieces of work. Not only does IP law broadly protect much more than individual pieces of work, but the philosophical basis of IP law in general is to protect incentives. Now that the technological landscape has shifted, the case law will almost certainly shift as well because it’s clearly undesirable to live in a world where no one is willing to dedicate themselves to becoming an excellent artist/writer/musician/etc.

IP law is a natural extension of property rights, which in turn is predicated on a utilitarian need to protect certain incentives.
Sounds good. Still won’t send anything sensitive there but I appreciate the effort and direction, especially when current industry trend seems to be fuck you were rewriting our TOS to take your data.
No because the odds are symmetric for every slot. If you have two in a row; and the third slot has higher odds that it goes to the non-roller, you should just... not roll in it.

The timing of when it gets rolled won't matter. The need to urgently consider blocking off other routes to victory will be embedded in the scoring described above.

Easy. The entire market is full of scammers. They compete on how to scam you the best. And the companies that don't scam don't survive. Tada! There's nothing else to invest in but scams.

It's kind of how even though Google is dying due to returning awful results, no other search engine eclipses it, because the results they return are just as awful.... Yes, even kagi. Because pretty much the entire internet has become awfulized.

Let me make an analogy with the pro asset managers. I surf the internet full time. But that doesn't give me freedom from an enshittified web. That just ensures that I can still make my living off of it, as a software developer who needs the web for references and problem solving.

Managers realize it's a shell game, because they're the dealers and they're playing it for revenue against the marks. They just have to be a little more careful than the final victims.
Jank's new persistent string is fast (2023)
I really want to see this OS, and have cautious optimism that this could be the first time we'll see a big tech company actually provide an auditable security guarantee!

I think depending on how this plays out, Apple might manage to earn some of the trust its users have in it, which would be pretty cool! But even cooler will be if we get full chain-of-custody audits, which I think will have to entail opening up some other bits of their stack

In particular, the cloud OS being open-source, if they make good on that commitment, will be incredibly valuable. My main concern right now is that if virtualization is employed in their actual deployment, there could be a backdoor that passes keys from secure enclaves in still-proprietary parts of the OSes running on user devices to a hypervisor we didn't audit that can access the containers. Surely people with more security expertise than me will have even better questions.

Maybe Apple will be responsive to feedback from researchers and this could lead to more of this toolchain being auditable. But even if we can't verify that their sanctioned use case is secure, the cloud OS could be a great step forward in secure inference and secure clouds, which people could independently host or build an independent derivative of

The worst case is still that they just don't actually do it, but it seems reasonably likely they'll follow through on at least that, and then the worst case becomes "Super informative open-source codebase for secure computing at scale just dropped" which is a great thing no matter how the other stuff goes

I believe it is because llama 3 8B beats it, which would make it look bad. The phi-3-mini version they used is the 4k which is 3.8B, while LLama 3 8B would be more comparable to phi-3 small (7B) which also considerably better than phi-3-mini. Likely both phi-3 small and llama 3 8B had too good results in comparison to Apple's to be added, since they did add other 7B models for comparison, but only when they won.
I wonder if the winner was specifically going for wacky notation when he played that, or just going for a crazy checkmate.

I hear a lot about excessive parenting on here but I wonder if it's just a segment of society. Can anyone but wealthy parents have time to occupy their kids 24-7? The freedom I and friends had as a kid was not a decision of my parents so much as a necessity. Parents dont get home from work until 6, school lets out at 2, we get at least 4 free hours of undisturbed freedom. Why would that be different now?

1. He reminds viewers of deliberate attempts to take advantage of known human gullibility toward so-called "AI" ("Eliza Effect"), using dark patterns.^FN1

2. He cites various instances where so-called "tech" companies have lied about "AI" products and/or faked "AI" demos.

3. The creator of the video said he has included some sixty links to sources. He asserts that comments about "AI" that do not cite sources are unpersuasive. (That will not stop HN commenters from sharing their unsupported opinions.)

FN1. He tells viewers that "cute" is a dark pattern, e.g., a giggling "AI" voice. Long have I wondered about all the silly non-descriptive or misleading names chosen for contemporary software, for so-called "tech" companies, as well as the silly graphics and mascots. What is their purpose. For example, is the reason for the silly company names chosen by so-called "tech" companies more than just avoiding trademark disputes. (Yes.) If software developers and so-called "tech" companies intentionally use these tactics to trick people into thinking or doing something that is against those peoples' interests, then arguably these could be dark patterns. Obvious example of a misleading name: "OpenAI" is not open, and that may have serious consequences, but it's unlikely the company will be changing its name any time soon. The video creator mentions that the SEC has stated it is cracking down on the use of "AI washing" where companies add "AI" to names or otherwise use terminology to trick people into believing "AI" is used when in fact it is not.

In sum, the video is about the Silicon Valley "culture of lying". Perhaps ironic that the "AI" being pitched by SillyCon Valley today has no concept of a "lie". Despite the endless anthropomorphism, a computer running "AI" has no concepts whatsoever. Concepts come from people, not computers.
I've used Windows solely for gaming and MacOS solely for MacOS/iOS development (work).

But now...

- Windows is full of AI/Adware bloat with more getting added every few months

- Linux's gaming/nvivia support has come such a long way that in some games it's beating Windows in some benchmarks now

- Apple's app store policies over the last 10 years have caused so many issues that our company is switching everything to webapps.

So I'll probably be switching from Windows+MacOS+Linux this year to just Linux next year.

Thinking of using the KDE or Cosmic desktop environments for personal computer and NixOS for development computer (just so I can test/rollback changes, and if the computer ever dies I can be up and running again in under an hour if I need to meet a deadline).
Add on top of that the communities they do have are all virtual. Virtual groups are a fine addition to, but not a good replacement for physical interaction.

Genetic algorithms are everywhere. Every time (1) something copies itself with mistakes, and (2) ....... actually there's just (1), no (2). Every time things copy themselves imperfectly, you have a genetic algorithm, and the fitness function is how much they copy themselves in the long run.

The current best hypothesis is that RNA randomly developed and evolved. Some if it happened to be self-copying. If there are self-copying things, there will be lots of self-copying things - that's common sense. And a genetic algorithm fitness function. In an ocean with RNA, sometimes it will happen to bump into other bits of RNA and swap over. Sometimes they randomly get better at copying. Zillions of molecules and hundreds of millions of years is a long time for small chances to happen. We want genetic algorithms to run in seconds on a PC. Ones that run for millions of years in the Earth's whole ocean don't have to be nearly as good.

The Miller-Urey experiment demonstrated that chemicals we know as building blocks of life can come into existence by themselves in early Earth conditions. What we don't know yet is exactly how they got from there to cells, since we don't have a time machine to go and look. Scientists keep finding plausible stepping stones, though.
