You're overthinking it :) My original comment was just a reply to a guy who said "Bali used to be great, because women used to show their breasts", and I was like "believe me, some breasts you'd rather not see". I really do not care why women show their breasts, I just do not want to be traumatized by it :P
The NSA partners directly with telecoms companies, especially AT&T. Its easier when companies like Meta and Facebook will play along, but that's not the only way they get access to a bunch of our data.
I feel genuinely awful for the 19-year-old boy who was in that suicide-tube just to please his father. His whole life, which would've been a happy one of wealth and freedom, snuffed out because of these utterly stupid risks.

But for Rush himself? He deserves all the posthumous mockery and jeering he gets and more. He was quite literally too stupid to live.

Everybody else in that boat is on a spectrum of "you had more means than anybody else in the world to know this was extremely unsafe and you're part of a political class that by-and-large celebrates libertarianism so there's some irony and culpability here but still it's sad that you trusted a guy and he murdered you with utter incompetence".
That’s true, but they’ve made a lot of noise about “private cloud compute” to run models too large for your device. They’re making the odd decision to not offer it as a subscription for devices less than a year old.

They’ve also certainly been working on LLMs for longer than the iPhone 15 and 14 have existed. They knew what it’d support before announcing those devices.

Yep, some lists I checked rank coffee as #2 but most don't; however, it's in the top #10 most of the time.
Comparing games with that notation alone would make moving your queen e2-e3 in game A the same as moving a pawn e2-e3 in game 2.

I don’t think anyone would actually agree those are the same move.

What Stockfish considers a move includes the full board state, it simply doesn’t need to pass that information around internally. Thus removing that ambiguity but means there’s a great number of moves that have only occurred once.

Also, it’s 6bit + 6bit + 2bit + 2bit = 16 bits which isn’t an arbitrary number. There’s no need to actually encode that something is a promotion because it can be inferred from the board state, but there’s zero cost to pass an extra bit around so it’s included anyway.
Any kind of practical OS would contain code of unpractical amounts to manually review and audit.

That's not to mention the argument that any software of a LOC count of higher than some number is impossible to audit because of complex state handling. Rice's Theorem applies to your brain too, probably, to some extent. Idk about purely functional Haskell though.
To note, we migrated from Redshfit, which had 7-30 second performance. Our current managed solution is something like 1 - 5. Duckdb just smashes everything else, at least on our data.

We lived that community "norm" as part of a very immersive and busy religious life. We also lived it in modern times where kids moved from one adult-constructed environment to another.

The author's theoretical mental health magic didn't materialize. These kids weren't surrounded with spaces to go with their peers and develop the critical skills that arise when adults aren't available.

For all that I personally like to dunk on Musk, SpaceX follows majorly classic incremental engineering pipeline, and there are people who check things thrice. Some of it because as "new" product in aerospace they can't just skirt things like Boeing did with airliners. Some of it being customer due diligence.

And even Musk personally acknowledged that he nearly tanked SpaceX early on - because they didn't have experienced engineering lead to take the project - and he ended up hiring one when they scraped enough on government money to get there.
Dispatched versus random dither are similar;

For most smart thermostats, one of the lesser known quality improvements is the 5 minute + dither time for startup. This is designed for compressor health - but prevents repeat cascading brownouts - where programmable thermostats or manual thermostats would have either a strict 5 minute wait time or none at all.

Other features like time of use, humidity correction, and fan circulation also drastically reduce energy usage.

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

> You demonstrably have no idea what you are talking about.

Do you? You said you can't use AVX512 in Java I pointed out, yes you can. Especially now, but support for auto vectorization in Java has existed for quite some time.

Also you have demonstrably no idea what ADTs are if you think you can use both sum and product types in C# see https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/113

You argue that Rust a no-GC language is going to be similar to a GC language, especially one that was designed as direct competitor to Java? You're going to have to have post more proof than that. Sure Rust copied C# syntax, and C# copied some stuff from Rust, but C# copied way more of Java's semantics/syntax.

You never addressed issues like way generics, trait and impl blocks work in Rust. You never addressed existence of inheritance in C#/Java. Or Rust trait solver or it's tagged (enum)/untagged unions. Nor its borrow checker, nor its AutoTraits, nor its Affine types.

I've tried to argue with you in good faith, but you seem to have some issue with projecting your own issues onto me.

Different features.

OpenAI provides the chatbot interface we all know.

The PCC cloud serves all of the other integrated AI features like notification prioritization, summarization, semantic search, etc. At least when those can’t be run on device.
> I wonder if they already had that use case in mind when they came out with Shortcuts?

They didn't come out with shortcuts. They bought an app called Workflow that was leagues ahead of anything Apple was providing on the automation front in iOS.

And Apple never knew what to do with Shortcuts. They bought the app in 2017 and didn't integrate Siri with it until 2022. And Shortcuts still remain limited, and barely usable.
This subject can hardly be discussed in a comprehensive way on a board like this. It also depends on what tools you have available to you - some cloud tools make this easier than building your own.

There's a great book that covers this in great detail - Feedback Control for Computer Systems: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/feedback-control-for/97.... I've implemented many of the tactics here with great success.

I don't understand this sentiment. I'm not attacking, I'm trying to understand.

So if there's opportunity for a feature that adds real value for many people to an application without it affecting the core of the product, it shouldn't be added? I can add passwords and unlock websites just as quickly with 1Password as I could 8 years ago. Why does adding other useful, related features make a difference?
Until they protect us from fraud like credit cards, I’m not interested as the banks transfer all the risk to the user on these products. Why anyone would use a debit card in the United States is beyond me.

If you aren't able to figure out the return type then something has gone wrong: maybe the language or code is too complex, or maybe you don't understand the code very well.
But why would anybody want to do that? It's because the domain name they're displaying is more trustworthy than the one they're actually directing you to. So you gotta ask: How hard should we work to defend the trustworthiness of domain names? The author thinks we should work harder.

Names are notoriously a weak spot when it comes to software. So many attacks converge on tampering with the referential integrity of names. It has been a problem for decades.

Trust, by contrast, is a deeply human thing. We have been deciding who to trust and who not to for millennia. Those instincts though, they don't work for domain names. They work for humans, and a domain name is a lousy proxy for a trustworthy human.

So these "vanity URLs", or "link fraud" as the author puts it, are a reminder that defending the trustworthiness of a domain name is a rather awkward position to be in. And I'm proposing that we find a different position to defend, rather than digging in where we are.
Yeah, I'm glad I didn't get a new Mac. I'll wait until VoiceOver can easily be used in the Terminal, on Google Docs, and Salesforce.
A coordinate system is an abstraction, whether anything has some large coordinate is irrelevant to the coordinate system itself. But my understanding of MWI is that there is discernible state being described by the Schrodinger that is taken as "real" or "concrete" by MWI. If we considered the non-actual branches as merely abstract coordinates, then there would be no problem with profligate state and its associated theory cost. But then it wouldn't be many worlds, but rather some kind of collapse theory.

> Projects that follow regulation strictly can fail due to bad engineering too.

Which in the world of regulated engineering disciplines usually translates to new regulations to prevent the newly discovered failure modes. The point of regulation isn't to eliminate 100% of bad engineering, it's to rigorously define and enforce the current standard of good engineering so that the vast majority of cases don't fail.
Caution, char != grapheme. Did you try it with combining characters?
One of the two major American political parties somewhat regularly supports the Russian government, in an amazing turnaround of the history of the party since 2016, but part of that is due to the party just opposing on principle almost anything the other party supports for political reasons starting around 1980s, and part of it is due to where the titular head of the party is polling. The less populated rural areas of America and the very few swing states as well have an inordinate influence on the national politics to counteract your misconceptions about America.

Not completely related, but I think about the fundamental physics of water a lot, primarily when referencing the chaotic nature of reality.

Do we have a mathematical model to predict the properties of water (or other chemical compounds)? How can we predict a chemical mixture is wet? Can it ever be known or is the computation complexity such that it is impossible to calculate inside a computer?

> perhaps a chimera of Rust, Go, ML and Lisp

I think it is pretty much just ML on the beam? It resembles rust and go maybe in the ways that they have also been influenced by ML. The syntax is fairly C-like which I guess resembles rust more than ocaml but I think that's surface level. I don't know rust or go but I don't see any concepts in gleam that aren't familiar either from ocaml or erlang.

Lisp I don't see it at all, except treating functions as entities in their own right, which is a nearly universal language feature at this point and doesn't ring as particularly lispish to me anymore.
Or to aid recreating problems were, for instance, you've accidentally relied on undefined behaviour that happens to be consistent in most places.
I didn’t delve this story, I just remember I saw a five minutes info at some tv channel in France, which was interviewing a guy who refused to for the ride just before the launch as he estimated the safety level he was expecting was not there. I don’t know if other riders were aware of that fact, which should have been communicated to them as a big red alert.

Sad story, really. These people at least died while actively pursuing a dream, though it finished in a dramatic way. This is unlike so many people in Gaza or Ukraine just to mention what pop out of my mind. :’(
I wonder if the biggest side benefit to a player like Apple getting into this game is the pressure it puts on web site developers to follow some kind of convention with their login forms. The vast majority of the time I have trouble filling a password, it's because the web developer did some wacky shit with the fields that make them unrecognizable, or in the worst case actively prevent pasting a password. It's one thing to blow off someone like 1Password, but Apple has a huge reach, they are not so easy to ignore.
> I can't see why anyone would risk anything of value to such a platform that can destroy all your content at any second for no reason with no warning.

That's an interesting take because I can see how this reduces lock-in:

1. It's now easier to access passwords on the mac because you no longer are forced to use Safari to view passwords, nor have to sort through the technical entries/certificates in Keychain Access.

2. The app surfaces a prominently positioned button for one-click sharing and exporting of passkeys/passwords, whereas existing methods significantly lack in comparison.

3. It's the opposite of lock in to consolidate all types of passwords into a single consumer-level interface, when the alternative was hunting for them across the various apps and system panels.

4. It works with iCloud for Windows for cross platform support. Which also means you don't need a mac to participate in shared password groups.

Maybe they’ll open that up in the future.
A huge part of previously installed grid scale battery power (like famous pilot Tesla plants in Australia) were precisely for frequency stability. Considerable portion of automatic cutoff or otherwise curtailment support systems in smart meters and the like is also related to grid stability contracts. Sometimes it's as little as "giving more time for steam generator to up the pressure" while wind/solar wanes, but it means there's less load on turbines which means there's less desynchronization which means less possibility of catastrophic failure due to unexpected flows in the grid.

So, 6MW might be a little, and the comparison suggests it enabled more power for houses, but such little details can mean considerable differences in keeping grid frequency in sync and preventing further outage
I think you're asking: how does some random bit of protein/ion/drug find it's way to a receptor for it? Is that correct?

Stochasticly. It's all random, as far as we can tell.

The things that make it all work, though, are the large amounts of receptors and binding thingys, the very small spaces, and the temperature. The cell is really kinda jam packed with stuff. But, since we're at ~97F or so, things bounce around a lot. The key here is the mean free path. Depending on the thing you're looking at, the mean free path of that thing is generally sufficient to get the pieces together to party. If not, then you start getting into really complex and hyper specific transport mechanisms. Each of those is going to be it's own little research world and will have little broad applications.

With large molecule drugs, you're likely using some clever transport mechanism with cleavages and digestion steps along the way. These are really some marvels of bioengineering.

With ions, you're just doing simple diffusion modeling, and the body very tightly regulates these ion concentrations

With peptides and these 'medium' sized things, you're looking a combination of diffusion and some hacking of the cell's machinery.

Again, I want to stress something here. We're still on the cusp of really understanding biology as a species. This stuff isn't EE. We're trying to unravel ~4 billion years of random-ass evolution, it's going to take a few thousand years for us to do that. Neither you nor I will see biology as a mature science.
