Considering this story, this 18 year old was in a robbery and a fight. Nobody was murdered.

He got 18 months and has been in for 18 years. The article makes no mention of justification for the board's decision to keep him in prison or his behavior while in prison, but they are continuing to do so. They could be keeping him in prison purely out of spite, power trip, or actually be protecting society from him. We don't know.

Is this justice? Is this how it should work? Jailed for life for relatively minor crimes that resulted in a grand total of 18 months prison sentence. Hand waving someone's life away is different than hand waving obvious propaganda.
MMM is a good book, but I like to suggest Weinberg's The Psychology of Computer Programming as another contemporary (to it) take that discusses both how to examine what's happening in teams (effective or not) and what was observed in some teams (effective and not). Like MMM, it received an update later on. Weinberg left his original text essentially intact (I think light changes to address errors in the printing, not changes to what was written though) and added commentary to each chapter instead of editorializing them directly.
The fact that Dex has not made a bigger splash is entirely on Samsung's marketing department. I agree it's not -fully- there as a replacement for computers, but I remember owning an s20 for over a year before even knowing it was a thing. When I tried it I thought "finally."

We carry these things with us everywhere and they are more than capable (hardware wise) for what 99% of time spent on desktops/laptops can do, especially in the corporate world. The limitation is the form factor. I'm really just floored that there hasn't been a bigger push to turn our smartphones into our computers.
I think, especially considering the news of Qualcomm talking with Intel about acquisition, or just Intel's general problems; we are in the last decade of x86.
Regardless of what Bibi knew or didn't know, the army was totally gone. Bibi is not the chief commander of the army, there is the commander of the South, the chief of staff (ramatkal), the head of intelligence - all were missing in action. Israel's entire understanding of border defense was completely lacking - and we now know that the same issue has been going on in the North. Had Hezbollah wanted to they probably could have created an even bigger October 7th - that's why Israel is now insisting on creating some kind of security zone clean of Hezbollah fighters for a few kilometers in South Lebanon.
I'm planning on exploring Yggdrasil and some other darknets and I fear it'll be the same as well. I look back and see a golden age I never was a part of
This is such a foreign way of looking at caffeine to me. I've got no problems falling asleep. My constraint is that the more caffeine I have today, the more I will need tomorrow morning to even get started feeling like a person.
> Unless Apple funds your games like some other platforms do, it’s better to just blow the porting budget on something that’s at least fun. I haven’t heard of anyone’s game funded by Apple, but maybe it happens? These deals are rarely made public.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought/assumed that Valve's work to get Steam and their GoldSource and Source game engines working on Mac was with some sort of support from Apple - I know they did Linux support around the same time but the extra work to get everything working on a Mac wouldn't have been trivial.
I think there is a whole world between going all in on an open source license and allowing funded companies to simply competing with you vs not releasing source at all.

We need a "fair source", or whatever we call it. We need a way for people to contribute, many ideas to gain a community of contributors, without a funded agent to simply focus on how to monetize the software.

Open source or "fair source" are all distribution models. For people to see, try, adapt and maybe even contribute to your software ideas. It enables everyone to build and share. And if someone wants to compete with the stated software, they can buy a license. That is a fair business model, IMHO.
3M apparently does have SaaS products.

Two data points, one gathered immediately after another for the same route from a separate device, from a provider known to track demande and use "surge pricing"?
Hungary is widely acknowledged to be in a state of nascent dictatorship anyway.

I don’t think it really works to call out a potential slippery slope when the country is already overtly on that pathway. Those in power there can already operate with relative impunity.

(This is the reason that when Trump says “Orban likes me!” it’s not actually a flex)
> ... surveillance is that they have a monopoly on it

Wait what, this isn't even close to being true

> government power ... is that they have a monopoly on it

This is only true by definition. McDonalds also has a monopoly on serving McDonalds food.

> use their power to hurt people

This is universally true of anyone with power. The difference between the government and other powerful organizations is that the government has a universal feedback mechanism via voting. In a democracy everyone gets a say in the laws that affect them.

Even calling Intel x86 a loss overnight AMD is doing more than fine enough, server and consumer, for x86 to stay with a competitive presence into the 2030s even taking a dim view of the architectures future.
The FTC under Lina Khan’s enlightened, benevolent leadership seems anything but captured (though I agree with you that this is atypical): she’s the #1 enemy of everyone with a family office for a reason and if they don’t manage to throw her out, she seems to just be warming up. Everything from search monopoly to prescription drug price negotiation is on its back foot for the first time in decades.
Point is that Apple is deliberately blocking Vulkan support. Which prevents things like Wine / Proton from offering decent performance for games there (MoltenVK is not really adequate for that).

Being it's Apple, not some kind of poor entity who can claim lack of resources, I'd say they very much on purpose disregard gaming as a use case and therefore it's a strong reason to stay away from Apple to begin with if you do care about it as a user (gamer).
My neighborhood has a big city park just across the street from our house, with a lot of free / empty space. One observation: The kids are too busy to go there, as they're kept occupied by homework and organized extracurriculars.

In my humble experience, by far the best usage of holed coins such as the old 25 spanish pesetas coin (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Pesetas_fin_siglo_XX.j...) is the ability to serve as a stopgap for spinning top launching rope (see https://www.ionlitio.com/images/2017/08/la-peonza-moneda.jpg). Fond memories!
I can't wait for Uber to get checked by robotaxi.
For anyone interested in a counter-point (ie; "Transparency is not inherently good and here's why"), the paper "Transparency is Surveillance" is a nice read: https://philpapers.org/archive/NGUTIS.pdf

It basically talks about how people will change their reasoning to suit public opinion when they work publically. You might imagine a scientist who gets a public grant and is required to share their findings publically.

In this hypothetical scenario, let's say their findings are required to be explainable to the public at large. The reality is that when you're building anything (whether it's a theory or a product), the reality is that causes and effects are not always clear nor will they ever be as we see with the human body for example.

As such, while we might think imposing transparency would increase trust, the reality is you'll often find ad-hoc justifications for why things are the way they are rather than just saying "We don't know why X or Y".

The author also presented the same ideas as a talk for anyone who prefers video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcEJY61FKIc
In real life this can happen, but I think only by flinging out stars on escape trajectories. That’s the thing explicitly prevented by the reflecting sphere in the model discussed in the post.

Basically, the issue is that you can’t end up in a stable equilibrium of binaries (and binaries of binaries) in a bounded phase space because the dynamics are time-reversible. The only way you get coarse-grained irreversible behavior is with an unbounded phase space where there are no recurrences.
What percentage of iPhones actually require DFU after a bad iOS upgrade?

I’ve had iPhones since the 3GS and never experienced it, neither have anyone I’ve known.

I’m sure it happens, but I suspect it’s really rare.
Devices like the Aranet4 are mainly useful for telling you how well ventilated a space is relative to how many people are breathing into it, which is a very good proxy for viral load and viral risk. It's pretty much only in spaces with high quality air filtration (aka high CADR for cleaning an enclosed environment) or significant far-UVC protective measures that the proxy relationship breaks down, and the breakdown will always be an overestimation of risk from the CO2 monitor, never an underestimation. For those reasons it's a very useful tool to have to put an upper bound on the risk of the space you're in and help you make informed decisions about whether you can e.g. hold your breath and take a drink under far-UVC cover or not.

PM2.5 sensors or other things like what you're thinking of do have their place, but they also have a bunch of other issues - they'll be detecting VOCs, brake and tire dust that's fine enough, any aerosol whether it's coming out of a mammal or not. I think it's inaccurate to say they're just a generically better solution than CO2 monitors for viral risk.
Walking is horrible when traffic is going 50+ mph and everything is a mile apart.

Anyway, yes some people do like Irvine. But the article is about being city like, it’s not and isn’t going to be. It’s upscale suburbs with apartments.
Author here. I'm glad to see so many meaningful discussions triggered by this post. Despite raising concerns, overall I still see "building in public" as a positive trend. Like all trends, things emerge and change over time, so we'll see how "building in public" evolves.

It works well enough for many games via Steam games using Crossover but Vlavle may not be interested in targeting the platform anyways.
Honestly, that’s mostly been my life for years. I have a laptop I use now and the for programming or a few other little things but I can go months only using my iPhone and possibly iPad. For email, social media, surfing, and other small tasks they work great.

This is for personal stuff. I use a work computer every day, but I don’t use it for personal stuff.
Strangely, it’s not doing this to me, at all, with the non-beta Sequoia and using Nova. I’ve been happily coding away without that happening.

Not saying this isn’t happening for other people, of course! But it must be some odd interaction between Sublime or Zed and Sequoia, not a new intentional feature affecting everyone or every editor.
I haven't looked in the specific classifications of this particular model, but what your comment shows is the importance (IMO) of having a "no sentiment" class when classifying sentiment. E.g. if someone says "John doe is an average guy", the sentiment to John is neutral. But if someone says "John doe is my uncle" there's no sentiment and it should be classified as that.
Perhaps the classifier here already takes this into account, but just thought it was worth mentioning the importance of having this extra class, or a separate pre-filter classifier.
In your example I also see many that could be filtered out. E.g. "I store them in Bitwarden not in dotfiles" doesn't contain negative/neutral/positive sentiment, or at least you're not able to tell from just this sentence.
I appreciate it's a fine line between neutral and no sentiment though.
> the civilians hit by the 7th october are bedouins, leftists still living in their anarchist commune, and partying teens/YA who wouldn't vote for him anyway.

That's a pretty crazy claim. There were very few Bedouins killed (and how the heck would Bibi know who Hamas was going to kill btw? Hamas could have tried driving straight to Ashkelon or could have focused only on Sderot).
Nova party was not a left wing event, right wingers are just as likely to go to raves - I would say the rave was pretty much an ordinary representation of Israeli secular society.
Other than that tons of cops got killed, tons of right / center leaning people in the towns near Gaza and so on. And yes quite a few left wingers.
With SteamOS, they solved their dependency on Windows.

Now, they're trying to stop being tied to x86.

ARM64 is being tested because hardware is already widely deployed, but not being tied to x86 is the important part. Enabling e.g. RISC-V as well.
What smart-ass question would you ask your date?
Reddit could give a better response. Let's see how it goes here.
It’s pretty new, IIRC. In the last year or two.

Very cool it’s possible.
Gmail requires a different login flow, because they're dropping password authentication in favor of OAuth, for pretty reasonable security reasons.
I chose the AirGradient[0] One. It's slightly more expensive than the aranet4, but has more sensors. It's open source, reports CO2, PM10, PM2.5, temperature, humidity, and more I'm probably forgetting offhand. Loaded it with the esphome firmware, so Home assistant integration is seamless.

And since it's open source, when a sensor inevitably wears out in a couple years (like the PMS5003), I can just replace the sensor instead of of buying a whole new unit.

Highly recommend it.

I've got a better idea: ban connected vehicles, completely. All it has to do is move you from a -> b. Why the fuck do you need a cloud connection?

It's a threat to our economy, security, and continuity of business in the unlikely but unfortunate event of a kinetic attack on the US mainland or one of it's territories.
HM Inspectorate of Probation's review on IPP prisoners released on license paints a very different picture - of people with complex problems, chaotic lives and a high and ongoing risk of reoffending.

IPP prisoners can't be arbitrarily detained forever. There has to be a reason for the refusal of parole or for a recall to prison. There are clearly significant shortcomings in how IPP prisoners are supported, but it's also clear that a cohort of people who are living with drug addiction, severe mental illness and behavioural problems are going to struggle to stay on the straight and narrow even in ideal circumstances.

Funny. But also their BF OS reminds me slightly of Forth or ColorForth. https://github.com/ers35/colorforth
I know Europeans will probably be all high fiving each other and congratulating themselves on how much better their regulatory environment is.

But consider the other side of this coin : one of the biggest risks identified for AI is bias in training sets and there are actual demands that companies explicitly make their training sets as inclusive as possible to incorporate all cultures, genders, etc etc.

So if Europeans find out they are being excluded from job opportunities later on because employers are using AI tools within LinkedIn to process candidates and it simply doesn't understand the background of European candidates - will they be upset? Will they be demanding LinkedIn be fined for not including Europeans in the training set?

I am very curious how all this will play out long term as these competing tensions get worked through.
Yes, ML models are for accountability laundering. More news at 11.
This may be an outgrowth that just sort of fell out of their project to allow updating the software on iPhones in the box.

they did that so people wouldn’t buy a new phone that had been sitting on the shelf for a few weeks or whatever and then immediately have to update the OS. By using a special device they designed they can power up and update the phone with the latest OS in the box so buyers are almost always up-to-date when it hits their hands.

But the fact that they did all that probably means that they had everything they needed to do this. Or maybe that’s how they “update” the phone, they don’t update the OS like a user would they just reflash it completely.
I just play whatever games happen to work on Mac. Which isn't a lot of them, but it's enough.
> Drivers live or die by their rating. Refusing to give good reviews harms the drivers who are already barely scraping by.

I drive on Uber part-time. In my city at least, rating is not such a big deal. The vast vast majority of people give 5 stars ratings (i'm talking about 99% of ratings).

I assume there are some people who only give ratings when the service was exceptionally good or exceptionally bad, or would otherwise consider 3 stars as a fair rating for a normal experience. Let's call there honest raters. As a driver, i don't think honest raters can have such a big impact on me, because the platform is designed so that there's no preference to always match honest raters to some particular drivers. Their honest ratings will be spread more or less uniformly among drivers.

And, if we want to apply Kantian logic and think "but what would happen if everybody did the same?", well, Uber is a live system too: if more people would become honest raters, then the ceiling of what's the minimum average rating you need to have as a driver would be lowered accordingly. Uber needs drivers too. It needs to keep a healthy balance of available drivers and available passengers. If either of the two gets too low, if would lose the other part in short time.
I call it "the stranger".
Huh. I wonder if this uses https://box86.org/ or such, like proton uses wine
Holy shit Sequoia is the biggest dumpster fire OS I think I've ever seen Apple release on the Mac.

They would have been better off just skipping a year instead of releasing... whatever the hell this even is.

Every time Apple shits the software bed hard like this I hope it will be something of a Vista moment for them and they'll clean house with the MacOS software team, but it never happens and things just get worse.
Wow that's crazy. Dozens of newspaper reported on this. Did all those smartphone-carrying journalist repeat the claim without trying it for themselves? Thanks for pointing that out.

Anyway, I have not used them since Lyft came out, for a variety of other reasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_surrounding_Uber
The Judgment of Solomon is a bad analogy as the mother is willing to give her baby away to save it. You've reversed the roles and are comparing those who want control of their data to the woman who never had a claim to the child to begin with.
As an Android dev who use Android Studio for daily work, I confirm updating Gradle may break your projects, well depends on the libraries you used.

In other cases, updating Gradle won't give any problem. You can build the APK fine. Debugging the build system is annoying :D
Those situations aren’t the same: Walmart charges everyone the same price and they advertise those prices so they’re stable over some time. Uber has multiple sources of dynamic behavior and so I think it’s reasonable to demand visibility, similar to how an airplane fare breaks down the portions which are demand based from the things which are static.
I find non lisp harder.

In blub lang based on c:

Fn(Val Val Val) to f(1,2,3) or

Val fn val 3 + 3

In blub lang based on lisp

NFTs — neutral with 98% confidence. Hmm…

Also, it seems like putting in the same phrase twice generates different graphs and results at least sometimes. So it’s difficult to use comparatively.
Why can't they get that training data in another, legal way?
I'm not defending any specifics of this case. I would like to mention, though, that somebody who got in fights when they were 15 is less likely to do so when they are 30. And somebody who committed robberies when they were 22 is less likely to do so when they are 40.

If your argument is that they have a criminal nature and will therefore commit some other crime because it is in their nature, that's a bit hard to accept. If your argument is that they are acting out against their prison environment and therefore can't be trusted in a completely different environment, that is also hard for me to accept. If your argument is that they have been moved into a halfway house but don't seem to be able to cope with normal society, I would probably probe that. Have they committed robberies while in the halfway house? Have they assaulted someone there?

I hate to paint all prison guards with a giant brush, but I have experienced first hand how normal people act out against mild authority like parents or teachers or coaches. I think many non-criminal people would fare very poorly in an environment of prison-style authority. Activists are often viewed poorly in regular society. In more authoritarian climates they become indistinguishable from criminals. That is not a good indicator of their expected behavior in less authoritarian climates.
Well, IF you have an exploit capable of bypassing all iPhone security you could now use it by setting something on someone’s phone for a few minutes instead of plugging into it.

Is that useful? Maybe. No fingerprints?

Of course you still need that billion dollar exploit first.
Are these U.S students? The prominent figure in the video has his face entirely covered and it is known that many non students went to these events.
I can't tell from that video whether these people supported terrorism or not, it's not quite clear. I would say that calling for 'freeing Palestine from the river to the sea' doesn't leave much room for non violence.
After a few miles some people can get into a zone which is very enjoyable. Personally I failed several times to make the habit, but finally I got a heart rate monitor and realized that I was just trying to go way too fast. If you just go really slowly at first, and even alternate running and walking if you need to, you can build the habit, and your speed and endurance will increase steadily.
But what use is that? Wake me up when philosophy can answer real questions, like whose milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and if it really is better than yours (or if being taught about it's production is indeed a worthy expenditure)?
Yeah, as a web developer you're better off learning all the things plain old Chrome DevTools can do

The person who lent me the iPad didn't have a keyboard. I'll note that though.
Also wouldn’t cover encrypted messages sent in the clear. Exchange keys ahead of time and you’re just sending noise to each other. I guess you could still target users sending random noise under the assumption they are using encryption.
It doesn't have to be absolute. Just cross some threshold of inconvenience.
I feel like Apple has the opposite attitude of Microsoft's towards 3p apps in general, not just games. Mac updates will constantly break apps at least minor ways, sometimes major (like 32-bit removal).
