You assume Alan Turing actually cares about what a bunch of British politicians think of him and the award they choose to give him.

You believe he cares about external validation and things like awards.

You believe he cares about being a billionaire.

You are more or less projecting your beliefs and ideas on what a successful life is on him.

Alan pursued truth throughout his life. Not external validations. He was a scientist not a politician or celebrity or a wannabe make world better startup founder.

Only truth could have set him free. And I hope he found his truth.

We're not on the good side of some clear morality dividing line. Plenty of consensual private actions are illegal today. The most obviously similar one is incest. But there's also consensual violence and euthanasia, as well as all the things you're not allowed to have on your computer, even if you created them yourself in some western countries.

People seem to thing us moderns are more moral but we're not really, we just changed our morals so other cultures look immoral in comparison - and we look immoral in comparison to them too.

What's the (north african?)-set movie to which Mika refers in this tube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MPtXUeUznY

While I find my eyes and ear (même les américaines comprennent) caught by Mme Mac, and I wouldn't have the foggiest in what context "molly with a Dilly" might usually occur, the video and text make one suspect that MM. Doriand and Mika tended to foreground the other characters (do long guns imply rough trade?).

[come to think of it, an odd bent would probably have been a career advantage at Bletchley, in that one might have been already habituated to picking up on metadata during traffic analysis?]
I'm fine with Turing being a hero or a role model. But people are now writing that Turing was castrated for being gay.

> following his indecency conviction, and had nothing directly to do with his security clearance.

It had nothing directly to do with his being gay. You can be gay without starting relationships with homeless boys and getting your house broken into, exposing yourself to blackmail or coercion.
I've been finding 6.S191 [1] a pretty good introduction to the landscape. I wish Alexander taught the entire course instead of switching off each lecture, but overall I'm enjoying it.

Assuming this is true (I don't know), would a heterosexual man have received the same punishment? In any case, it seems pretty cruel and unusual to me.
Some people on reddit are upset with Loblaws

Everyone else is just checking the weekly specials and shopping where the deals are, Loblaws stores included, if they give a shit about grocery prices at all.
There's no such thing. All actions have consequences for other people, so any system of morality includes trade-offs where someone is disadvantaged for the sake of someone else.
To what do these conditions apply? To any content edited within Adobe software, or to content stored in Adobe cloud?
LOL, of course.

If you don't believe me, compare the GDPs per capita of "the richest and most sophisticated EU countries" versus Mississippi and West Virginia.

Hint: the "sophisticated" EU countries are poorer.

Comparing ANY US state (average: $85,373) with Tajikistan ($1,271) would be a travesty.
For those coming here in the future:

- Turn off wifi immediately on boot, or go into safe mode and do it there

- Turn off the setting Settings > Network & internet > wifi > turn on wifi automatically (which is an insane one to begin with)

- Turn off all app permissions involving wifi

This will allow your phone to work on 4G internet until these retards make a fix.

Nokia support is a bunch of useless cunts. Suggest either sending the phone to their support centre, which is more expensive than the phone was at launch, to factory reset (does nothing since the update's still installed) or wait a month or more for an update fixing this.

Valve basically tried the later approach with the initial Steam for linux push which included steam machines and the steam controller. It did have some level of initial success but clearly had lost momentum and the developer support it had seemed to fade after a few years. There were quite a few direct ports during that time though. I think they would have preferred that approach but ultimately decided it was a bridge to far.
Ha, funny - we visited London for a week last autumn and stayed in Kilburn near the old Paddington cemetery, and every time we took the bus into the city I found it strange how straight that road was.

I guess that enough users still simply cannot afford to leave and nothing ever changes.
Stage Manager was introduced in Ventura, which is definitely a form of window management. I don't think you can call that "badly stalled"?
Indeed. One of the most criminalized things today is taking any sort of drug (besides alcohol, and now cannabis in many places) even in the privacy of your own home where nobody else even has to know.

As others have already mentioned, the main culprit here is libc and its assumption that it is running in a single-threaded environment.

The libc was designed with heavy use of global variables in mind. Modules in C are designed as compilation units with static global variables and exposed functions that operate on them.

There's a reason many big projects (and programmers) use their own version of the standard library instead of libc.

So, socioeconomic status vs personality traits it is?

How does personality develop?

Is it somehow inherent to sub-humans or a product of ones environment?

Of course its a socioeconomic factor. If you try to argue against this one, you have essentially only the other option left and derserve to be ripped apart in the comments.

Others have asked for the root cause before, here is my grand take: better education <- fair taxation <- social mobility <- wealth distribution <- matured laicists and a healthy democracy. I tried to put capitalism in there but it just lingers all over it. That socialist take is also my broad explanaition why other developed countries habe better health metrics. Guess what happens when you argue against this one :)
Linux (+ KVM) doesn't either.

Well, they have reasonable documentation for certain external APIs (syscalls, boot parameters, sysfs files, etc). But not internal API documentation or "formal design".

Certain things are sketched and outlined, and certain things have detailed documentation, but as a whole there is no "formal design" of the system.

It's not really bonkers though because it turns out that formal designs doesn't necessarily make better software. Or rather, the formal designs that academia might have taught. There is a formal design, it's the code.

20 or 30 years ago, there was this big push that formal designs should be the key piece of work and you should be able to press a button and generate the application from the design automatically. Turns out they were so wrong they basically went 360 back to right again and that's what we do. It's just that the design doesn't look like some crazy incomprehensible executable-UML, but programming languages. Which are quite legible, precise, and unambiguous (at least compared to English), and make very good languages to write designs in.

(The place where they are still wrong of is that you don't need to know or care about any of the fine detail in order to make a good design. Once you accept that, then specifying the design with code is pretty reasonable.)
I think you and the person I was replying to missed the second part of the other comment, which I believe to be the main point: "But none of that could have meaured up against just leaving the poor guy alone to pursue his own thoughts and loves. And who knows what gifts to the whole world he could have returned from that."

30*2 + 30 = 90, which is pretty close to 86.

Going the other way

86-30 / 2 = 28 which is close to 30.
This is ridiculously bad. My feelings go to all the people which use that omnipresent OS.

I wish there would be an incentive for vendors to ship with Linux.
Reminds me somewhat of this great C.S. Lewis observation:

> “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
I used to work on CECL and stress testing models for large banks and i used tmux similarly. Lots of scripts that would take like 6 hours to run.
I agree with your overall point.

In a certain sense I'd say optimizing compilers aren't deterministic:

The same source code can produce different object code, depending on data and algorithms into which a typical programmer has little insight.
You're wrong about why the US Navy is doing that. They don't care about how those missiles were manufactured, they want to figure out what their performance is – what's their real fuel capacity, their real fuel efficiency, their real turn rates, etc. pp., to figure out how dangerous they are, and how they're best intercepted. Whatever the official performance figures are, they're guaranteed to be wrong (either exaggerated to scare enemies, or downplayed to lure enemies into a false sense of security).

None of that applies to civilian rockets. ITAR regulates them because exporting either the finished rockets, or their components, or the tools and processes used to make them, might help foreign powers build their own. Salvaging wrecks isn't very useful for that. Meanwhile, if you want to know the exact performance figures for those rockets, you can just look them up on the manufacturers' websites. Nobody has any reason to lie about them; if you exaggerate them, customers will find out quickly, and if you downplay them, customers won't buy it.

This is why the Chinese and Russians (and before them, Soviets) tend to keep "fishing trawlers" full of SIGINT and recovery gear around NATO missile exercises, but not civilian launches. They care just as much about NATO military missile performance as the USN cares about their own. (And both sides rely on good old industrial espionage to copy manufacturing technology.)
Actually we do this on airplanes globally. There's many older aircraft or poorly maintained aircraft, as long as vital requirements don't fail, it's fine.

Yes it's different from a car's requirements, no the concept is not different, rusty pickup just means different things.
Maybe big tech could try hiring for diversity of thought…

I don’t mean diversity on the basis of gender, ethnicity, or sexuality…

I mean, hire people who are experts in other areas other than tech as well… and maybe teach them some tech along the way because they’re working in tech, but hire them for the potential gains that can come from having people who see the world a different way, who have a different perspective and who are experts in other areas that are not tech.

> The Twitch DJ program lets you stream DJ sets using the vast majority of popular music.

Sounds great that seemingly it coves a lot of the mainstream music, but what's the procedure if I happen to stream something that isn't a part of that? And how can I check what songs from my library are cleared to play/stream without having to actually play them and "find out" after the fact? The pages about this program seem to miss something vital practical information.

> If you stream pre-release tracks, your channel may be subject to enforcement and penalties including termination of your stream and suspension of your channel.

What a shame... Half the fun is finding absolutely new tracks and playing those. But I guess overall this program is a step in the right direction.
Well hindsight is 20:20 so I won't be too harsh on them, but a clairvoyant Windows team could have done some serious competitive analysis to try and discern why developers were wanting to build web apps despite the clear lead the MS ecosystem had in GUI toolkit quality, developer tools, languages and even (at that time) job market for devs.

I think if they'd done that they'd have concluded:

• Devs pick the web because it means deployment+start can be one click on a hyperlink, the browser will also update your software without any prompting of the user.

• Sandboxing really matters because it's what enables the former.

• Guaranteed and easy server connectivity really matters.

• High level scripting really matters.

So, they could have e.g. tried to make a sandboxed version of Visual Basic in which the P-code you downloaded was used just for UI, with all other serious logic on the server. Maybe even using a properly client/server variant of DCOM to provide client<->server calls. Basically a kind of web browser like thing but on top of the MS stack instead of HTML. Devs would probably have found that pretty compelling.

ActiveX was the closest attempt but it didn't fit the bill. It wasn't sandboxed in any way, and ActiveX controls took forever to download because they were all native code. They definitely weren't high level and you didn't get any kind of convenient server connectivity out of the box either. Then BillG decided to do .NET and I guess code sandboxing got sucked up into that project, the Windows guys were somehow allowed to reject the whole .NET concept, and deployment wasn't sorted out for many years. Kernel level native code sandboxing wasn't possible on the Win 9x codebase and is still pretty ropey even in Win 11, so that was also out.

Apple didn't really win against the web, and their API is largely backwards compatible to the start of OS X. Also, the initial versions of OS X did contain support for both running old MacOS Classic apps in emulation, and also porting them to the new APIs whilst minimizing the size of rewrite required (Carbon). So their backwards compatibility isn't too bad.
> Adobe accesses user content for a number of reasons, including [...] innovative cloud-based features [...] and to take action against prohibited content.

Forcing customers to pseudo-consent to their data being used to train AI is bad enough. You do not have to wrap it in CSAM detection, which, as a spin, is a whole new level of distasteful.

If you're a corporate PR person and you're about to respond something like this, it might be better not to respond at all.

Lawyer up! They unilaterally changed the contract, that probably invalidates that clause in any sane country (so, not USA). They might even have to pay you the cancellation fee, or more.

I launched a push-up counting app that keeps you motivated
I'll try to be brief!

For the past couple of years, push-up automatic counting apps on iOS haven't had a lot of quality. Many of them just simply don't work, many are slow and almost all of them are very poorly designed. Because of that, I've had this idea in the back of my mind since 2021 that I finally coded and successfully launched over the last two weeks. Introducing push!

push is made using SwiftUI and ARKit using the TrueDepth camera to track the accurate distance of your face from your phone. You just need to do push-ups while looking at it!

What's so special about the design of this app?
Well, I'd suggest for you to download it and see it for yourself. In case you don't, just know it's full of vibrant effects, neat transitions and responsive gestures. I'm also using Metal shaders for a cool live distortion effect.

And why push-ups?
They're fun and easy and sassy. Next question.

Is it free?
Yup!

What stats does it provide?
push has got them stats such as: total workout time, total rest time, and (my personal favorite) average push-up duration (counts the time it takes for you to get up from a push-up).

What else can you do?
At the moment you can keep a streak by doing a workout each day. You can also automatically share workout stats with friends over Instagram stories and other apps. (I used the new ImageRenderer API for this).

Is there an Apple Health integration?
Soon!

What else do you plan to add?
Leaderboards, accounts/friends, daily goals, reminder notifications, widgets, local and remote multiplayer, music controls, and machine learning-based stats.

Who are you?
I'm João, a young Apple Platforms developer from Brazil and incoming CS student at Georgia Tech.

Thank y'all!
And hope you have a great WWDC next week (if you're participating).

push is available on the App Store right now!

Nvidia Computex 2024 Keynote Nvidia Rubin GPU Vera CPU and 1.6T Networking
He was not charged with being burgled (which is obviously not a crime!) or for exposing himself to blackmail (which is also not a crime). He was charged for having sex with another man, and his punishment was a result of that conviction. So his conviction and punishment were absolutely directly to do with his being gay. The very fact that chemical castration was considered as a 'treatment' shows that everyone involved regarded the problem as being 'gay sex', not 'exposing oneself to blackmail'.
But isn't a keep alive bit better than a "full" polling?
I thought it was Tautols all the way down.
They told me that the last four times I tried it, years apart each time. At this point this is feeling like the full self-driving car all over again. But honestly, as I've thought about it over the years, even if it works for most people it's probably not going to be something I'm gonna want. I'm big on gargoyle shit, believe you me, but AR > VR every time. I love my bone conduction headsets. It really sucks they keep putting cameras attached to big shitty spy corps on all the glasses form factor portable monitors because honestly I'd like some sunglasses with a transparent terminal and a nice intuitive gaze-tracking interface a lot better than the head strap that puts me in some kinda low budget unreal engine bullshit world, even if they didn't consistently, without fail give me a full-on migraine after an hour. VR is a non-starter for me, and that's probably not gonna change. I don't want to be in the matrix or the metaverse or one of what seems like an endless series of "what if your life was an MMORPG" anime that are apparently serving a gigantic market of people with whom I will likely never relate. I need convincing to use a GUI for something that doesn't absolutely need it. Good books often make mediocre movies. Movies basically always make shitty video games. I personally think video games will always make shitty immersive experiences, no matter how much Zuck and other like-minded techbros keep trying to make fetch happen
I ran some tests on phi-3 and mistral-7b and it's not very hard to teach them to use tools, even though they were not designed for this. It turns out these models obey their instructions quite well and when you explain them that if they need to look up data on the net or to perform a calculation, they must formulate this demand with a specific syntax, they do a pretty good job. You just have to enable reverse-prompting so that the evaluation stops after their demand, your tools do the job (or you simulate it manually) and their task continues.
Copyright violation isn't just when you can output 100% exact copies of books. And don't forget, they also violated copyright internally billions of times during training. If any of us had been caught making copies of corporate-owned content for AI training use five years ago, we'd be in for zillion-dollar lawsuits that would make any grandma who downloaded a song from Napster blush.
