Hello! I'm afraid I don't recognize the username but glad to know we've met :) Feel free to email me if you'd like to greet under another name.

Let's agree that Apple are doing state-of-the-art work in terms of internal manufacturing controls and making those auditable. I think actually the more interesting and tricky part is how to manage software evolution. This is something I've brought up with [potential] customers in the past when working with them on SGX related projects: for this to make sense, socially, then there has to be a third party audit for not only the software in the abstract but each version of the software. And that really needs to be enforced by the client, which means, every change to the software needs to be audited. This is usually a non-starter for most companies because they're afraid it'd kill velocity, so for my own experiments I looked at in-process sandboxing and the like to try and restrict the TCB even within the remotely attested address space.

In this case Apple may have an advantage because the software is "just" doing inferencing, I guess, which isn't likely to be advantageous to keep secret, and inferencing logic is fairly stable, small and inherently sandboxable. It should be easy to get it to be audited. For more general application of confidential/private computing though it's definitely an issue.

The issue of multiple Apple devs conspiring isn't so unlikely in my view. Bear in mind that end-to-end encryption made similar sorts of promises that tech firm employees can't read your messages, but the moment WhatsApp decided that combating "rumors" was the progressive thing to do they added a forwarding counter to messages so they could stop forwarding chains. Cryptography 101: your adversary should not be able to detect that you're repeating yourself; failed, just like that. The more plausible failure mode here is therefore not the case of spies or saboteurs but rather a deliberate weakening of the software boundary to leak data to Apple because executives decide they have a moral duty to do so. This doesn't even necessarily have to be kept secret. WhatsApp's E2E forwarding policy is documented on their website, they announced it in a blog post. My experience is that 99% of even tech workers believe that it does give you normal cryptographic guarantees and is un-censorable as a consequence, which just isn't the case.

Still, all this does lay the foundations for much stronger and more trustworthy systems, even if not every problem is addressed right away.

I suggest eliminating that spammish repetition. Body text like this gives a strong impression that the site is going to try to install a virus on my computer. It drips with a swampy kind of SEO desperation only seen on pages that embed malware and crosslink to bot farms.

Give a shot to Zen Browser, it's based on Firefox with all that you mentionned.

"Winning" for Boeing would be workers being happy with status quo and nothing changes. "Winning" for the workers means getting a deal people vote "yes" for (last proposal was rejected by 64% of the voters). Not sure how this is so complicated for some.

Seems they're getting closer, previous proposal was rejected by 95% of the workers, so seems it's going in the right direction at least. If Boeing wants to stop loosing money at the rate they're currently doing, they better come up with a acceptable deal quickly.

I call this the "JavaScript treadmill", where everything that's more than two years old is garbage written by nincompoops, but now we all got it right and now everything is fantastic, and the only people who criticize it are grumpy crusty old backend boomers too lazy to learn anything new.

If you go back in time two years, people said the same thing. And four years, and six years, etc.

Normal people don't use Bitwarden either. And I suppose I don't know any normal people which isn't too surprising.

Normal people use Apple's built-in password manager.
Notably, they could not really compete with Firefox at launch without implementing browser extensions of some kind.

That was Firefox's killer feature at the time.
Maybe I should write a browser extension that actually does do this generically, by hooking the SourceBuffer interface, increasing the playback speed, and remuxing into a container format.
Bluesky was supposed to replace Twitter and turn it into a federated platform.

I wish more people knew this, but I feel like junior developers are just chasing stars on GitHub and wherever else.
On large solutions I find Rider to be so much faster than VS.

On very large solutions I've found VS to be completely unusable.
It depresses me that Bitwarden has also taken VC funding, just like 1Password. It’s still a great product but as with any VC product I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop when it’s revenue generation time.
Clearly, he based it on the open-source code from GitHub, which simply concatenates the MPEG-TS segments and adds an .mp4 file extension at the end. You can check out my previous work on a download site for the Bluesky platform at https://blueskyvideodownload.com, which runs smoothly and returns the correct video.
Perhaps it's an acronym, like gorp is? (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts - commonly called "Trail Mix" these days)
From bio - "Not Cal Newport and unaffiliated w/ Newport, he's not on social media."
Probably because of how bloody large they are. The quantization errors likely cancel each other out over the sum of so many terms.

Same reason why you can get a pretty good reconstruction when you add random noise to an image and then apply a binary threshold function to it. The more pixels there are, the more recognizable will be the B&W reconstruction.
Everybody can fork this and build an iOS app. You just can't distribute through the app store as far as I understand. Would be good now if there were other means to install an app on iOS for non-devs, but users chose to ignore that issue when they joined the walled garden that is Apple Inc

Maybe the European Union comes to the rescue... (for Europeans)
In bio it states
`Not Cal Newport and unaffiliated w/ Newport, he's not on social media.`

The problem is, just the mere fact of communication is sufficient to determine relationships, which can make any sort of organized action simple to identify, root out and quash:

The passwords are available offline, so they are stored locally.
It wouldn’t have been framed as liberty-quashing if it wasn’t for said propaganda circles. Most people can’t form an opinion better than a stool without simple “[VERB] the [NOUN]” talking points, and these were readily available in low-quality yellow-on-black text JPEGs.

You could imagine an hypothetical language with implicit awaits but explicit forks:

I was talking specifically about double-precision floats. Single-precision floats can represent every integer up to +-2^24.
>, I no longer recommend Bitwarden for normal people because the built-in password manager in Firefox is too good.

But a lot of "normal people" actually need a secrets manager which is larger in scope than just a "websites urls passwords manager". This means a password manager with extra metadata fields for users to add notes, associated email aliases, etc. E.g. if a website has an extra step of "Confirm your identity by answering this question : What was your childhood pet's name?", users want a place to save the answer ("BugsBunny") in the "notes" field of a password manager.) Another example would be the secret PIN unlock code for the spouse's phone. That's not a website url, it's just a "secret" that needs to be stored in an encrypted file.

Firefox password manager is too bare-bones with the only 2 fields being "Username" & "Password".

The better UI/UX for normal people is to have a unified app to store all their secrets instead of having some secrets in the Firefox password manager and other non-web-url secrets saved separately in yet another app.
Bring back Multiplan.
Your proposal is too modest. Why should only law enforcement see our messages? All messages should be treated like the banns of marriage and read aloud by the local priest or posted on the church walls, so that all interested parties can learn their contents and raise any relevant legal objection.
Motivation is overrated [1]. If you've been searching for it for weeks or months without success, stop looking. Chances are, you won't find it. Even if you're super hyped about the end goal, the steps needed to reach it can be grueling. But sometimes, you must take those steps anyway to get things done and reach your goal.

Don't get me wrong - motivation is fantastic if you can find it. But how much time are you willing to spend searching for it? If every unpleasant task requires days of mental prep just to get started, how much progress can you realistically make?

Motivation doesn't matter. What matters is taking that first step and then another. Instead of looking for motivation, look for a method that pushes you to take each step forward. If you find such a method, you'll reach your goal.

> Since there's nobody to hold me accountable, it's all too easy to fall into procrastination.

Find someone to hold you accountable. Try Facebook or Reddit groups. Unfortunately - and this isn't just my opinion - online accountability buddies often go MIA, and these setups rarely last more than a few weeks.

Shameless plug: There's another option. We're professional body doubles (https://workmode.net/) - think accountability buddies on steroids. Boss as a Service. We connect with you over a video call and simply watch you work. This tricks your brain into (pun intended) work mode. Why does it work? Simple: social pressure. It's surprisingly hard to be unproductive when someone is watching. The effect is so strong it can override the urge to procrastinate.

[1] Most people understand motivation as an internal drive to do things. I assure you, you may feel that drive yet still accomplish nothing for days, weeks, or even years. Been there, done that.

I have re-read the question, and this does answer the very last words of it.

That's sickening, honestly.

IA is a tool to help you access websites that literally can't be accessed ever again otherwise. It's a noble and beautiful project.

Some people use it just to get free stuff, to commit piracy, to infringe upon copyright. It's a perversion of what it was meant for.
There are reasonable & reasoned attempts to make sense of all this, such as Sunny Auyang's "How is Quantum Field Theory Possible?" (https://books.google.com/books/about/How_is_Quantum_Field_Th... )

I think such attempts are not widely disseminated / taught to young physicists because older / more experienced ones believe that quantum gravity will re-write the situation anyway. { QG itself seems necessary since in General Relativity you "solve for the metric aka solve for time" self-consistently with mass-energy and that very same "time" is the background for QFT (which is what "makes" mass-energy). So, we don't really understand this model element we call "time" - so elemental to all our ideas of dynamics - without QG. Of course, the most direct quantum gravitational phenomena are, at present, at a subtle experimental scale due to the size of 'G'. This need not remain the case -- once we know what to look for - e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_lines were beginning to reveal atomic quantum physics in 1802 almost a full century before Planck's black body work and barely after Benjamin Franklin-ian electrostatics and long before Maxwellian electrodynamics. }

I'm mostly just trying to strike a less hopeless note for jiggawatts and provide some reading material which might be accessible (if, as noted, is probably necessarily preliminary - EDIT and some might say this of all "Science" at all times, of course).
The issue is that none of this stuff is objective but everyone has to pretend that it is.

You have to say that people are depressed because they can’t transition, because the alternative would be to say that people who are depressed or otherwise mentally ill are more likely to do crazy things, and that’s taboo, so instead you make up a series of bizarre non sequiturs because using logic would lead to saying “banned” things.

It’s like some sort of weird Soviet Union joke, 2+3=6 because we have to report that we have made 6 units of grain, even if we only made 2 in one field and 3 in another, we made 6 units of grain, it doesn’t make sense because it can’t.

Same as in COVID. Masks have an effect, but we originally said they didn’t because we wanted to avoid shortages. It wasn’t factual, it was a narrative with a goal, if you look at it like a logic problem and assume that every statement is truthful you’re going to have issues.
You do not have to remember the syntax; you can use Vimscript and you can create a custom keybinding that prompts you for the "findtext" and "replacetext" strings, then apply the search-and-replace operation over the next 5 lines (number of lines is easily adjustable and can be prompted for it, too; it does not have to be hard-coded either).

Vim users don't have to choose between precision and ease of use as you can build macros or mappings that match ANY workflow, creating powerful, customized processes that minimize the need to remember exact syntax or type it all out, for example achieving results similar to multiple cursors but with Vim's inherent efficiency and scalability. So, while Sublime Text's multiple cursors are handy, Vim can match - and even exceed - this functionality with very little setup (emphasis: one time setup!).

(I use VSCodium (which I really enjoy) for Go, PHP, and Elixir; IntelliJ IDEA for Java and Kotlin, and I use both Emacs and Vim for everything else).
Ah, sorry for misunderstanding.
Technology is never a solution to your democracy problems.
> The solution for both was posited to be a physical medium permeating space that had certain special properties,

Light is an excitation of the EM aether — or if you prefer, “field”. (Which you then explain later, yourself.)

We failed to detect the aether with MM because we’re made of aether-stuff and so we squish in a way that cancels out what they were trying to detect with the original experiment.

> Current physics has nothing to do with these theories.

> [explanation of how fields are aethers]

Wilczek also points out modern theories are aether theories.

LIGO works because it detects waves in the aether — which do not suffer from the same squishing problem as in the original experiment. But that’s why a scaled up version of the original experiment worked: we’re fundamentally detecting the same thing.

Aether theories are more legitimate than dark matter theories: the MM test for the aether failed, but then they reformulated the theory and successfully observed an effect; dark matter has yet to find a working reformulation that is observable.
Schools should ban the teaching of math so future criminals won’t be able to use encryption for their evil deeds.

It is not a thin line the one you are crossing.
I suppose you need your own "search ritual", i.e. write it down in a note-taking app and make it a life rule to check there first for things, in case Past You already put some thought in it.

Not supported. It can't be anything.
For whatever reason, people in our generation seem completely unaware of how often they cite things from 15-20 years ago.

I've taken to pointing out that it's like if someone in the 90s used advice from the 70s. For whatever reason, it tends to put things in perspective timeframe-wise.
Well it certainly matches the way they've written the copy on the page.

A lot of words that are used today have depressing etymologies. I dont think calling someone an idiot makes that person look like a fascist, as words change meaning over time, so I don’t really know what your point is.

Pretending to be offended by everything honestly makes people look childish. It’s perfectly fine if you’re actually offended, but frankly I don’t think you are.

You’re free to think I sound like a “fascist”, I just disagree.
Musk tried to cancel this program in its early stages.

He only found out about its existence after early prototypes were located in their car park where he saw them and instantly demanded the whole effort be shut down.

> For about five years, Straubel and his team had been developing batteries meant to store renewable electricity and release it onto the grid when the sun wasn’t out or the wind wasn’t blowing, and an executive at the meeting asked Musk about the project. Apparently Musk hadn’t heard of it: “What are you talking about?” he said to about 50 members of Tesla’s top leadership, according to Mateo Jaramillo, former head of Tesla’s energy division. The executive who raised the issue then pointed out a window, toward a set of prototype batteries installed in the factory’s parking lot. Musk looked out the window, then turned to address the room: “Let me be very clear: absolutely no one should be working on that right now.”

> Straubel pressed ahead with the grid battery project anyway, providing “cover” for his subordinates to keep working on it, according to Jaramillo. One former Tesla employee, who spoke under the condition of anonymity because he continues to work in the industry, says Musk barely knew anything about the Tesla energy division until the staff briefed him on it before the official reveal in 2015
