This isn't unprecedented, Sony used to encrypt most of their phones image processing stack with a key which was deleted forever if you unlocked the bootloader, making the camera permanently perform much worse even if you re-locked the bootloader later. Likewise with Winevine DRM, unlocking the bootloader will break L1 playback, either forever or until you re-lock depending on the device.

I'm guessing this is Google similarly trying to stop people extracting their local models by not letting unlocked devices access them. I wonder if they'll also crack down on porting the Pixel Camera app to non-Pixel devices, people have been doing that forever because the processing is better than many devices native camera apps.
In California, state law holds that stealing merchandise worth $950 or less is just a misdemeanor, which means that law enforcement probably won’t bother to investigate, and if they do, prosecutors will let it go. Most packages are probably under the $950 threshold, so there is no enforcement. Why bother investigating and arresting when the DA won't prosecute and they'll be let out immediately?

Nobody said you should get riled up for something that does not affect you in the slightest, unless you want it to.
It is a loss leader non-renewable technology.

Initially the $/kWh is actually one of the lowest cost services, but this hides the $9B subsidy the public pays for construction and the 30000 year waste stewardship.

Some people think easy solutions are without tradeoffs. Yet fission power only makes sense for remote regions and space missions.

Renewables overtook coal this year in some regions. As the economics are an unstoppable force, that will silence the hubris of those that like dangerous fission toys.

to log how well you're brushing your teeth, so it can advise you on how to brush your teeth better, so you can have better teeth and not have to see the dentist. it's a late stage technology thing.

I wasn't born with an innate ability to know how to brush my teeth or how to shave (my electric razor also has an app), I had to learn how. If the devices I use can tell that I'm using them wrong, and there's a better way to do things, it's nice to have it tell me.
I guess some of it is cultural rather than rational, but is tipping wait staff so much different? If you go to an expensive restaurant and pay double for the same food as in a cheaper one, then what exactly are you paying for, and in any case why is the tip a percentage (vs fixed amount, as is normal in the UK) such that the wait staff in the more expensive place get more?

Whether rational or not, I'm personally fine tipping where the worker is making a low wage, and have spent time personally attending to me. Part of it is thinking that they'll appreciate it more than I will miss it.
The hubble tension points to issues with our understanding of dark energy, not dark matter
Failure in one endeavour doesn't predict failure in another.

You're making the same logical error you're accusing others of. But if you'd like to know, it's because there's a frequent association between the two. But truthfully I think people use "Greenpeace" as a stand in for any environmentally focused organization because it's the one they're most familiar with. There is direct connection with the nuclear case, but as another user points out the Sierra Nevada Club has uncontestable bias given that there are records showing that they took money from natural gas companies to support their anti nuclear campaigns. (I'm unsure if there's as clear evidence for GP. Maybe someone could link. I'm aware of indirect evidence but if someone has financial statements -- like we have with SNC -- I'd appreciate that)

As for why might success in whaling be different than nuclear? For one, whaling was already a huge established industry, while nuclear was budding. I think that's a key difference you can't ignore. Not to mention that whaling doesn't have a direct connection to bombs, not to mention that biggest bombs we've ever made.... Importantly, I think you're also undermining the success of their anti whaling campaigns. Synthetic oils almost certainly had a larger impact but it wouldn't be surprising if their efforts helped accelerate the adoption. Whaling might not have "stopped" but it has as a global industry.

As for oil, well, again, harder to take down a well established large industry. Especially when so much is dependent upon it and ethics gets complicated when you get into nuance (you want to shut down hospitals?). It's also a not harder to do when you fight against alternatives because they don't pass a purity test, even if they are strictly better (and by a lot).

My problem with paper is that I can't keep up with paper. I will lose it several times a day, and inevitably, I will lose it permanently after a year or two. I need the sync and findability that an app on a device affords.

That is inconvenient. You could change your own organization, and nobody wants that. Much better to defend each and every problem on your own side as a distraction and that acknowledging your side's issues would only help the other side, and to concentrate on pointing out what others do wrong. That way you have zero responsibility to actually change anything.

If a friend asks me how to get organised, I always tell them to use pen and paper as a first step.

You might use it just for a day or two, but something clicks in your head, you find your workflow, and now you’re able to use more specialised tools.
I will be honest, this is where I have some conflicted opinions.

In many coffee shops they are different people. There is just the person at the register and then there is the person who made my coffee. Who did the tip go too? I would assume it's pooled, but I have no way to know that.

This isn't the case everywhere, there are for sure places that it is the same people (or one place I go to it is a joint effort, it is a super small place with them regularly both shuffling work like one pouring milk while one brew the espresso).
Sure, you can't make a perfect checklist.

But you can, as an organization, choose to follow one and be "Secure by default", with exceptions e.g. "Open a port other than 443 to the Internet" being understood and risk managed.

It will slow down developers, for sure. But everything's a tradeoff.
Note to anyone hoping to export MusicXML from Finale into Musescore: Musescore 4's MusicXML import (and export) is horrendous. It has even regressed compared to MuseScore 3 which was already pretty bad soon as you started getting ambitious.
your estimate of $2-3M per CS-3 is a price not a cost. It costs about $20K per wafer from TSMC and the price they charge reflects the NRE of designing the system and taping out the masks more than the additional costs to package up their wafers into a system.

If this business scales, they can probably afford to lower the price by a factor of 10.

It wasn’t ´created’ for the three languages at all.

Originally the whole project was ‘IPython’ and then ‘IPython Notebook’. It came out of Fernando Perez’s attempt to make interactive Python a better experience.

They renamed it Jupyter to reflect that it was no longer a pure Python project as kernels were written in even before it rebranded as Jupyter. Those three were the most popular at the time but by no means the only ones.

I used to work with one of the core team about the time they changed this!

Paper is a sturdy tool; it doesn’t run out of battery, it’s interoperable… it beats apps in many aspects.

But as soon as you need automation, it’s a different story. I couldn’t rely only on paper notes to keep track of my work.

Obsidian has been very useful to keep track of my list of tasks and report what I’m doing. I would spend much more time doing all that with paper.

Flagging emails as "to be read later", keeping track of responses I'm waiting for, reminders, ... all tricky to do when using paper.

Winehq is probably the only org who might have needs to add something in there. So why not have a control of it, even if the contributions are rare.

(Hypothetical made-up example:) "Dental" chewing gum companies would pay $$$ for info on peoples' brushing habits crossed with demographics and geographical data: if the data shows that there's a particular city or county where people brush their teeth 25-50% less than the general population then there's a good bet they should increase their ad-spend in that area, because (let's say) people who don't brush their teeth are more ameneable to buying dental-gum to offset the damage of not brushing.

The funny thing about this thread is that I have no idea where the Trump starts and the Harris ends. I have learned nothing about anyone's political stances from this back and forth.
Supreme Court has decided that the final arbiter on rule making between statutory lines is on the courts now though. IRS can promulgate a regulation like that but anyone can take it to court and get their case ruled on separately.
Love this.

I sit here at my desk with post it notes scattered everywhere, organizing my thoughts and things to do for the day. Something about being able to physically move them around and cross things off just makes it easier for my brain to work.

The problem with this workflow is getting it into the apps that I use to organize my life. These change from time to time, but Sunsama is the clear winner for me at the moment.

PostIt has a great app to use your camera to organize your notes.

I've also found that Apple's FreeForm has a fantastic feature for scanning. Over the weekend I scanned hundreds of old post-it notes of mine that I was trying to declutter, yet some of them had important thoughts that I wanted to stash for later. I used Freeform to scan all my notes.

Next up I'll try feeding this to a model and see if it can organize my notes and create action items from them.

Come to think of it, I could have done none of this and just organized the notes by hand while scanning them :)

Maybe I should try turning my computer off next time and just thinking before I do something.
Not exactly. But you're partially right because there is an IRS connection, indirectly.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/26/trump-tip...

TLDR: Tax on tips is hard to enforce. A lot of it goes unreported. In 2023, the IRS wanted to revamp voluntary enforcement programs, consolidating three voluntary programs into one voluntary program. But they don't plan to move forward with that.

Trump ran an ad saying Kamala wants to "harass" tipped workers and has "weaponized the IRS", and making himself look like the good guy by promising to simply eliminate the tax. Kamala responded with a competing plan but with some modifications. One modification is to make tips exempt from income tax but still subject to payroll tax, allowing workers to get social security benefits when they retire.
Mono has support for app domains (and is in general closer to .NET Framework), a more powerful C API and runs on more architectures.

Potentially very stupid question: should I add a tip % on my invoices as a freelance developer?
There's only one method of doing to-dos that has worked for me. This method can be used with paper, Obsidian, Apple Notes, or any other app.

Every week I create a weekly note, and write my to-dos for the week. I may add more items to it during the week. If any items didn’t get done I roll them over to the next weekly note or drop them. That’s it.

I usually write my to-dos from scratch without looking at the previous week’s list. This helps me decide which items I should drop. If I can’t remember a to-do it probably wasn’t that important.
They should just be made properly - a properly made PDF is less than a megabyte, and model pictures should be just hundreds of KB.

Takes a lot of models and instructions to burn hundreds of megs that way.
For those who aren’t scuba divers, 10m range is very impressive. Most radiowave-based systems have a range of 1-2m, with many being plagued with connectivity issues.

One of the main use-cases is air integration, which allows you to have a transmitter connected to your cylinder which monitors gas pressure and relays it to the dive computer on your wrist.

This is an alternative (or, depending on the school of thought, in addition) to having an SPG (submersible pressure gauge) which is hopefully attached to your left d-ring, but for many recreational divers stuffed in a pocket somewhere or scraping on the bottom.

Air Integration is quite an investment (3-500€ per transmitter) and there is basically no interoperability between brands.

When Garmin came out with this, it made quite a splash, as all of a sudden instructors could keep an eye on the cylinder pressure of their students. This is a very minor use-case though, and I don’t believe it’s used a lot.

As for underwater communication, a good chunk of the scuba community is quite opposed to relying on electronics for communication. Hand-based signals are quite good, underwater paper does exist, and if you’re so far from your buddy that you need to wirelessly communicate you’re in a lot of trouble.

This all being said, as a boat captain responsible for the people underwater, I would love a local area network that allows me to pull the plug on a dive, or get some emergency notification. For example “weather is turning, please call the dive” or “I was blown off the wreck, please pick me up”.
IMO, what changed was that a significant portion of the bad actors got organized. It's much easier to make a lone troll get bored and give up than to deal with people with a playbook. Addressing the playbook in good faith will DDoS self-moderation attempts.
You're probably right- I had a nice place much bigger than I needed and walking distance from work in one of the more expensive and desirable rural Oregon small towns for under $400/month!

However, there are places more affordable than Oregon... I recently looked at home prices in the Mobile, AL area and it looks like you can buy a livable 3 bedroom home for ~$60k there- that could be about $400/mo for a mortgage.

If one has the skills and knowledge to do so, you can still live very cheap on a boat almost anywhere- I know a lot of people with incomes in this range living on well maintained ~30 foot sailboats, even in the SF Bay area.

A lot of what I'm talking about is substituting skills and free time for income. If you are good at DIY stuff, cooking, etc. you can live better for cheap. I only have those skills because I grew up upper middle class, and had parents that taught them to me- and I was in boy scouts, etc. You also have to have a lot of free time- if you're making $14k/year part time with no kids, it's totally different than if you're working full time and have kids- although the minimum deduction and poverty line will be higher with kids.

I have friends that grew up poor with absent parents, and their lives are much more expensive than mine in many ways- they can't maintain an older car so they have to buy a newer one, they can't cook so they eat out more, etc.
Different tastes, I guess. It's the same syntax that many JavaScript Frontend frameworks like react and Svelte use. I find it much cleaner.

To collect as much customer data as possible, to (hopefully) anonymize it and bundle it to sell them to data brokers and extract more money from their customer base...

All of it with their "consent" (you installed the app and likely accepted their ToS/PIvacy Policy), under the pretense of providing them a service like counting the time/frequency of your interaction with the product or reminding you to use it (something you would already do anyways, maybe less accurately, if you are a functioning adult).
Interesting! I suspect a templating engine that uses arenas would be a holy grail for rust web perf, so I'm curious about your experience trying to use them. As for making the API work, do you mean that the arena API was difficult to use, or the object interface you built on top of it was difficult to implement in a way that was accessible to template execution?
Yeah, if you only need to write down a few lines of tasks every day, that's lovely for you, but to me this reads like a dude commuting to work on a bicycle telling a semi trucker that he doesn't need that big engine.
If modern nuclear plants fail, they contain all hazards in a tomb under the plant. Fukushima was built not as it should have been due to corruption.

Your fear for nuclear plants failing is unreasonable. Do I have to mention again hundreds of plants running for decades without a problem?
How is it that government contractors can't build this thing on even a 9-year engineering schedule (July 2019–September 2028) when SpaceX is iterating almost exactly the same thing, on a timescale of months? They've already launched 4 SLS-sized vehicles, and have very visibly been redesigning the ground-support equipment each time around. The next launch for instance (next month!) debuts mechanical arms attached to the launch tower, which will attempt to capture the flying booster on its return.

What exactly is it Bechtel and friends struggling with? The OIG document doesn't answer this in a way I can understand.

I think the misunderstanding here (and I apologize where I've contributed to it) is that you think I'm talking specifically and only about CPU clock rates.

So if I am understand correctly, what I mentioned is correct?

On the website (where my quote comes from) it links to https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/tree/main/src/mono which is a mono within what you linked too.

So this is a case of 2 different mono's?

Sorry just trying to make sure I am understanding what is happening here properly given the exact same name in 2 places...
The Wine project apparently decided they wanted to keep alive an old version of a piece of software Microsoft has no interest in and Microsoft gave them the official repo instead of throwing it out.

Mostly interesting in that it is a token of goodwill from Microsoft to Wine something which is in line with the current Microsoft view of the OS market but would have been very surprising not that long ago.
It's not like Microsoft can force Wine to take the codebase. In order for this to be donated, the Wine project needed to accept it.
IMO the better way to handle this is to statically determine the Dependency Structure Matrix of all modules and to have a linter in the build process that checks that the dependencies conform to the restrictions you want to impose.
