People are hungry not because the civilization fails to produce enough food. It fails to produce enough order to let this food reach the hungry.

The causes of any prolonged famine are political: local overlords and thugs grab the food and keep it under their control, so that they would stay on top of their local social pyramid and / or profit from reselling.

I disagree. This seems like fantasy. First, I don't think Intel has even done this -- "pushes an update that revokes keys from your model of CPU". If they did, there would be an enormous class action lawsuit. Remember that most CPUs are bought by large corporations, with extremely deep pockets. Even if Intel were to miraculously win the case, surely their reputation would irreparably harmed.

Historically, homes in the US were very small, far smaller than what you see today. Americans have a huge misconception about this, because the historic homes they see today are the ones that survived, and the ones that rich people lived in 100+ years ago. The homes that regular people lived in have all been torn down, because they were small and unremarkable. But you can see some of this if you visit neighborhoods built in the 1950s: the houses there are much smaller than newer nearby homes.

However, despite a trend towards much larger homes in the US over the last 50+ years, Americans (at least the ones who can afford nicer homes) have been having far fewer children. So apparently Americans preferred having lots of kids back when they lived in homes with less than ~900 square feet.

As for Europe, Europeans have been living in dense, walkable areas with small homes for millennia, and didn't have any trouble raising lots of kids in that environment all that time.

Oh, yes. A greenfield game can just decide on mechanics, but UO is of course a continuous title with evolving technology and capabilities over decades! I never played the classic OSI (Official) server in the 90's or early 2000's and was introduced to freeshards directly nearly 15 years after the original launch. It feels a bit like digital archeology or anthropology from that perspective.

I was interesting in the scriptable clients, and endlessly tunable character development, as well as the idea of risk vs reward gameplay. To my great surprise, there seemed to be a vibrant and thriving social community in this thing that I and everyone else would have pointed to as a Dead World. Recommended.

Reclaiming Thought with AI has to be in the class of "East Asia has always been at war with Eurasia" because the sentence literally invites using an adjunct to replace the core functional task, instead of developing the skills in the primary fat-sack you have. It's a twaaap.

On the whole, I think an AI assist to thought is probably about as much use as any other aide memoire. Writing your notes might work better. Keeping a logbook of your thinking, criticism, and conversation with other people definitely so.

I would call an AI a poor substitute for another person's point of view, and the act of converting your own reading into an expression with them, and the resulting conversation.

Many conferences, the most valuable thing I take away with me is the notebook with an elastic strap, pencil holder and a pocket.

Honestly the strongest argument I've heard that these algorithms are anticompetitive is "The DoJ thinks they are". So maybe there's some non-public information of anticompetitive behavior.

We don't know how many housing units use Realpage pricing algorithms in 2024, but in 2017 when Realpage bought the tech, it was being used in 1.5 million rentals (https://www.realpage.com/news/realpage-to-acquire-lease-rent...) and there were 43 million rentals in the US, which means nationally they had less than 4% marketshare.

Obviously, cartel behavior (raising prices above market) does not work if you have 4% of the market. Perhaps their sales have gone up 20X in 7 years and they have enough market power for cartel behavior (doubtful)? Perhaps they have a low marketshare nationally, but they have a high marketshare in a few specific markets? Maybe, lets see what the DoJ says.

> this example of wanton and indiscriminate police brutality was the police response to protests against wanton and indiscriminate police brutality.

Actually probably not. Judging from them holding their hands up, their protest are probably motivated by the "hands up, don't shoot" hoax, based on a false claim that Michael Brown had his hands up when he was shot by the policeman. In reality, Michael Brown was not a victim of the indiscriminate police brutality, but rather repeatedly attacked a police officer and tried to relieve him of his weapon (no doubt out of mere peaceful curiosity). The whole "hands up" narrative has been invented later and distributed by the media, and had no basis in fact. One may notice here that while police brutality is indeed an existing and reprehensible thing, a lot of cases of "indiscriminate police brutality" touted by the press, after proper examination, turn out not to be so.

As someone that exercises a lot, that’s just cope. Sure, it has side benefits, but the primary overwhelming benefit is improving health and improving aesthetics. You can build mental discipline in plenty of other ways. You can build grit in ways that don’t involve lifting weights. At a minimum of 3 hours a week (often much more for many people), it’s a pretty big cost to pay.

Regarding building pathways to use muscles, it’s effectively like riding a bike. You spend some initial time learning good technique, but year 2, 3, 4, and onwards isn’t really doing much in that department. It’s just grinding to get stronger/more muscular.

the failure mode of having a single provisioning key instead of limited batch keys derived from ones in an HSM creates the incentive where this is inevitable.

if one key gets you all chips, then someone is going to get that because the payout is total dominion. I've seen this trade off in similar protocols, and every time it's like "thanks for the advice, we're going to go with just the one, it's easier." There is one OEM/protocol I suspect actually uses diversified batch keys as their root provisioning secret, and really it's the way to go if you do business globally now.

What's more interesting is what the consequences will be, as if there are none (it's not like the stock will hurt) then the market is saying crypto can be sabotaged with impunity.

XWayland isn't going anywhere any time soon and the main difference between XWayland and Xorg (the standalone X server) is the module that talks with the underlying hardware, which is only a small part of the otherwise shared codebase - and said module is basically using the same DRM API like pretty much every Wayland compositor and it isn't really that complicated to keep working (or even that big in size).

As for HDR i think the main reason you don't see it on X is because at this point there isn't much of an incentive for anyone who can both work with X11 and has the time to do so and has the necessary hardware. Personally i believe i could work on it, if i had an HDR monitor[0] but chances are even if i had an HDR monitor i'd only be using its HDR mode for games - and at that point it'd be easier to just switch to another virtual terminal and run the game via Gamescope (which already supports HDR).

I'd expect HDR to come to X11 much faster once mixed content between HDR and SDR starts becoming common on the Web as that'd require the X server to do the color space transformation for the (otherwise SDR) window regions that display HDR content (and probably need some update to use the atomic modeset API to seamlessly switch between HDR and SDR, something Xorg doesn't do now but again, without the need to mix HDR/SDR there isn't that much of an incentive).

[0] ok, i have one but it is one of those "barely HDR" HDR400 monitors, i only tried its HDR mode under Windows when i bought it, saw it looking quite meh and never tried it again since i bought it a few years ago

I don’t think they are solved, but not bottlenecks for beyond Earth, post biological life.

They still matter.

How long intelligent life depends or cares about a “natural” Earth biosphere is impossible to predict. “We” will for a while. But for how long?

Wars and any destructive conflict will always matter. They increase existential risk for individuals and collectives, and waste resources.

We are used to casually equating the future of the Earth, the biosphere, intelligence, civilization, humanity, our systems & communities, and each of us as individuals.

But they are all different things, whose trajectories are increasingly separating.

Transform your projects with Harware Abstration Layer
IMHO, surprisingly yes, for several reasons:

1) For the first time ever, national level Democratic politicians are speaking publicly about housing supply and adopting YIMBY language

2) Harris adopting YIMBY policies will have great influence over both the faux-progressive SF faction and the centrist-to-right-wing Peninsula NIMBY democrats. Their choice will be to defy a hugely popular national politician that originated in the Bay Area, or break from the Democratic infrastructure and lose influence.

3) The Biden administration has, in the past two months, really switched focus to hyping up YIMBY policies, with several announced policy changes on their blog. I believe this is the administration finally realizing that housing costs are the last big segment of inflation that has not been tamped down. With Harris' & Obama's & Walz's much more strident YIMBYism than Biden, I think this will increase, with lots more national level policy pushing local zoning decisions and code decisions towards more housing.

4) If Harris does lose, local politicians can blame her YIMBY policies in contrast to Trump's strident NIMBYism and anti-apartment politics. Generally, the voting populace in local elections is majority YIMBY, and the small number of hyper-motivated folks that organize and decide local elections are NIMBY, and the NIMBY faction will be paying attention to this loss.

Overall, YIMBYism has crossed the party lines up until now. In highly Republican areas, like San Diego or Utah, Republican elected officials embrace YIMBYism. In Democratic strongholds, Democtratic elected officials embrace YIMBYism. There's a problem that with the Harris/Trump political split on YIMBY/NIMBY, this divide might get pushed towards the local level. In which case, blue cities will tend towards more YIMBYism, and redder cities (like San Diego) may go more NIMBY. Up until now, within California, I'd say that San Diego and Oakland have been the most YIMBY, with Berkeley starting to catch up. We will see what happens after the November election!
"226 of 521 FDA-approved medical devices, or approximately 43%, lacked published clinical validation data."

The lack of "published" clinical validation studies implies neither that the AI developer performed no clinical validation nor that the FDA hasn't seen it. So, it is not clear if the problem is with the lack of clinical validation or the lack of reporting.
For some reason the title exaggerates yet further (half of FDA-approved AI not "trained" on real patient data).

Open a scratch pad or move the browser to the first workspace temporarily. Rarely will I ever have more than one or two windows open per workspace.

>Maestri will continue to lead teams focusing on IT, security and real estate development, Apple said.

This is actually a good thing because those three are severely lacking in Apple. And it might just because they didn't have the time to look into it.

Financial reporting of Apple changed a lot since Steve Jobs passed away and Tim Cook put him in charge. From Tim's preoperative I guess he did a great job. The problem is that Apple has been too focused on those numbers I wonder whether it was Tim's idea, Luca or Eddy Cue.

But this is really sad. In terms of CFO, Luca and the ex-Intel CFO Bob Swan, and Stacy Smith are the ones I like and remember on top of my head.
Not mentioned in the article, but one common prediction was that we would all be working less thanks to increased productivity.

Well, the increased productivity part was right. The working less part not so much.

An explanation I've heard and find intuitively plausible is that as productivity increased, so did available credit. Private debt has increased substantially so that all of the extra wealth just goes to debt servicing. If you look at what has happened to the FIRE industries, this tracks.

TLDR; Extra productivity is captured by those with capital to lend.
