Most software is free and makes no money - and that has always been the case. There are some very popular and widely-used non-free systems, but most software isn't that, and its developers still pay the bills.

This is somewhat analogous to music or books/literature. Most composers and performers and authors make no money from people copying and sharing their works. Some pay the bills working professionally for entities who want their product enough to pay for it; some do other things in life. Some indeed give up their work on music because they can't afford to not do more gainful work. And still, neither music nor books go away as copying them gets closer to being free.

I am nowhere near an expert but from what i know:

Having many qubits is of course vital to most quantum algorithms, but there's a good reason you can't simply run a quantum algorithm a qubit at a time until you've ran them all: you need all the qubits in the processor to be entangled to each other, so that the wave function collapses across all of them.

Here IBM has achieved this reliably across 2 qubits and with record processing speed. I don't think they were the first to achieve it at all, but this is a new record in terms of the important metrics beyond number of qubits.

Not using Wifi, but radar (so it needs at least a little movement) :

Pixel 4 have SOLI 60Ghz radar chips that allows various object categorization (eventually through walls applications).

Unfortunately the radar API was never released. It's unfortunate because a smartphone already has various sensors that ideally you'd like to use to do some sensor fusion using the camera and accelerometers to determine the position of the sensor and fuse the radar information in the map, like in those 3D photogrammetry room scanning applications.

> extern "C" also ensures that the C calling convention is used, which is relevant for callbacks. It's not just name mangling.

I stand corrected. I didn't know that `extern "C"` enforces the C calling convention.

However, on modern platforms this doesn't really matter because, as I said, there is only a single calling convention (per platform). And I'm pretty sure that future platforms will keep it that way. Fortunately, if you try to pass a C++ callback of the wrong calling convention, you get a compiler error.

> If you're passing a callback to a C function from C++, it's wrong unless the callback is declared extern "C".

That's certainly not true because `extern "C"` is not the only way to specify the calling convention. In fact, you might need a different calling convention! As I mentioned, on x86 the Windows API uses stdcall for all API functions and callbacks, so `extern "C"` would be wrong. If you look at the Microsoft examples, you will see that they declare the callbacks as WINAPI (without `extern "C"`): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/procthread/c...

So I stand by my point that in practice you don't need `extern "C"` for passing C++ callbacks to C functions. You can pass a lambda function just fine, and when it doesn't work the compiler will tell you.

Those docs look out of date and appear to be designed for "app" ecosystems. The latest proposal from Mozilla is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QMHkAQ4JiuJkNcyGjAkOikPK...

And I'm now quite sure this system is insecure. Fundamentally, either:

1. There is some magical sybil protection: An attacker can only spend their own privacy budget without affecting the rest of the system.

2. The system can be saturated: An attacker can spend everyone's privacy budget.

3. The system is not private: An attacker can exceed the "safe" privacy budget by combining information from multiple sybils.
Interesting. Will check later
A younger dev I work with recently went for an interview with a fairly well known YC company.

Failed miserably. The twist is that the interview scenario is literally the same work that he does on a daily basis and he crushes it for our team. He's an extremely talented front-end engineer with crazy experience. I'd place his capabilities similar to that of someone with 3-4 more years of experience because his experience has been so compressed by working in startups and building his own startup (and exiting once!).

The problem in this case, is exactly as described: his nerves got the best of him -- despite the interview scenario being identical to his day to day work at which he excels -- as this is likely only his second interview ever in his life.

I think there are ways that companies can think about this problem that prevents them from inadvertently passing on otherwise qualified candidates. One is to address issues with async coding exercises now in the age of AI. As the author suggests, one way to look at it is that AI is just another tool; it really doesn't matter if a candidate uses AI to solve the problem if they understood the problem and the solution.

One interview I went through had a novel approach: the first round was actually a code review which had intentionally left some areas for improvement from performance (at the app as well as DB layer) to security to error handling. I enjoyed that experience so much that I ended up writing a small tool to help teams that want to adopt this approach[0] of using code reviews as an alternative approach to evaluating candidates. I think the inclusion of code reviews as an alternative or additional tool can be a great way to de-stress technical interviews and help teams form a more well-rounded profile of the candidate.

Alcohol based mouthwash should be banned, it certainly is in some countries.
We don't need more laws to solve this if your concern is a more harsh punishment for data leaks, we need to remove existing laws that limit the damages a company can be liable for and we need consumers that care enough to sue when they are harmed.
Agile was originally a [software] development philosophy/methodology which included planning and delivery by the entire development team together. Early on it was adopted by consulting shops for good reasons. Today it seems Agile is used as a [software] development delivery mechanism with planning being externalized. If the folks writing the instructions to tell the computer what to do aren't in the room when discussing the end goal/outcome then you're just setting up a feature factory. I suppose some folks just want a "responsive" feature factory...
(Opinion) When Firefox jumps the shark, the call to action is Ladybird
I want to start this post off by saying that I fully understand software loyalty. There are people who will defend Firefox to the end of the Earth, and there should be! Over the years, Firefox has been invaluable to the open web, and is solely responsible for securing web standards in general. Without them, the web would surely be yet another decaying Google platform. So in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with defending Firefox at every turn. It is a tough market, and they should do anything it takes to secure their own survival.

That being said, there comes a time when we must explore our options. As Firefox shifts towards an advertising and tracking model, Ladybird, the first new browser engine since the 90's with the ability to pass the Acid3 JavaScript test suite, has secured a $1 million grant from the founder of GitHub. This is exciting news to put it lightly, and may very well be a small glimmer of light at the end of this tunnel.

In my opinion, if there is to be any hope for the future of the open web, we must put our full support in backing behind the Ladybird project by any means available to us. Please, spread the word, contribute, or donate whatever you can. I truly feel the future of the open web may depend on it.

Something is going on here and it's not normal.
Insurance is about managing average risk for a population. The ones who end up not needing it necessarily paid more than they would have to, _in hindsight_.

Varying the premiums across the insured population adds some fairness to the equation, but the moment it starts actually culling members of said population through outrageous pricing, it is just plain cheating.
We are like space aliens from the future :)

Still, it's amazing to me that we can build stuff which is vaguely comparable to our current commercial capabilities.

Another similar observation... I loaded an LLM (local llama.cpp) on a 2015 laptop, almost a decade old, and had a coherent "conversation" with it.

If someone had time-travelled back in 2015 and started for me that very same program on the same laptop in 2015, it would have been confusing and downright scary. I would have started looking for network connections to the remote super computer which surely must be running this thing...

Where in Australia?

I've been out of Aus for a few years, but in NSW I understand they're still largely banned (Lie Detectors Act) for employment, courts / evidence, insurance etc (and if they weren't by legislation, they would be for evidence by precedent, which is how the Act came about). As I understood it, this and the Canadian precedent that NSW relied upon, have basically made them a non-starter for courts in Australia ever since.

It's a bit horrifying if they're making a comeback, but then our politicians have always been a bit prone to right wing shock jock rhethoric around election time.
You skipped a step: First, enforce the rules and actually (and readily) impose the fines to indicate the laws are meaningful even for certain segments of society.

I want a flash drive which collects my files like .gitconfig .vimconfig with one click and if I do any update of those on any laptop, the flash drive is able to collect the changes. Also if I connect the flash drive to some laptop which was not used for a while, the config changes from the flash drive are replacing the old configs. Doing that with requiring connection to somebody else's computer aka "cloud" is too expensive, fragile and not private for me.
>Is it weird how the comments here are blaming AMD and not Nvidia?

Because it IS AMD/Apple/etcs fault for the position they're in right now. CUDA showed where the world was heading and where the gains in compute would be made well over a decade ago now.

They even had OpenCL, didn't put the right amount of effort into it, all the talent found CUDA easier to work with so built there. Then what did AMD, Apple do? Double down and try and make something better and compete? Nah they fragmented and went their own way, AMD with what feels like a fraction of the effort even Apple put in.

From the actions of the other teams in the game it's not hard to imagine a world without CUDA being a world where this tech is running at a fraction of it's potential.

That is what I am saying above. Full liability for the data stored and shared with others. Transitive liability would need to be a new law though as I don’t believe that currently exists.

EDIT: forgot to mention consumers don’t need to care much for this to be effective. If there are damages to be had law firms are incentivized to file class action lawsuits and recruit affected customers. So, there is an incentivized actor within this framework to do the leg work to get a big payday.

it's where the security boundary is. The system should protect me from unwanted software getting on the system. Once a piece of software starts running, I do want to give it full access to the system. If not, I'll run it in a container. All the protections wayland offers are to protect against a piece of software someone had to already have access to install. If you are that paranoid, set up selinux properly. Which nobody does, cos it's a pita. Enforcing permissions for everything on everyone is a similar pain in the ass.

To elaborate on why CZ / CNOT are so important:

CNOT is controlled-NOT (CZ is controlled-Z, but NOT has a clearer classical analogue, and phases are harder to explain).

Consider two inputs A and B, where A is a mixture of the zero-state (|0>; ground) and the one-state (|1>; excited) a|0> + b|1> (such that |a|^2 + |b|^2 = 1), and B is the pure zero-state |0>.

In this case, A behaves somewhat like a selector: when it is |1>, B's state will be flipped from |0> to |1> (and vice versa), and when it is |0>, B's state will remain the same. But crucially, this applies for the entire superposition of states! So the portion of the wavefunction where A is in the zero-state will do nothing, but the portion where A is in the one-state, it'll flip B from its zero-state.

In other words, CNOT takes the state from a|00> + b|10> to a|00> + b|11>, i.e. it entangles a qubit that was previously in the ground state with an arbitrary other qubit. Now if you measure A, then B (or the other way around), you'll always get the same result for both (provided that the quantum state is still coherent).

(Normally, if you took two particles that had the same state but were not correlated, you'd have to consider all the possibilities of being in |00>, |01>, |10>, and |11>.)
