The ratios in the example are on integer numbers of people, not measurements. You seem to get that, so I'm struggling to imagine what "the same kind of data" from a "sensor with some uncertainty" would even mean. Or what the hypothetical experimentalist who wrote your modified version of the equation would even be trying to compute using the measurements, in that case. Or why any reader would be attempting to "reverse engineer" the experimental details in a case like that. It just flat out doesn't apply to the situations the author is writing about. If I'm not getting your point, feel free to paint me a scenario with a bit more specificity.

Anyway, if you're worried about not tracking uncertainty in calculations, well, I can quote from the article:

> If your point is that there’s lots of uncertainty, then add a confidence interval or write “±” whatever.

That solves the problem in an equally valid way, no? The author is clearly not some ignoramus who doesn't understand significant digits and needs to take a Physics 101 class.

I tried Rethink for the day.

I had previously set Android's private DNS to dns.adguard-dns.com, which didn't block anything.

Rethink's battery usage is 15 - 20% on my pixel in logging mode.

It definitely works, but I can't seem to associate blocked requests with apps, which renders it far less useful.

Overall I think it's a very busy UI.

You definitely want to exclude Firefox with uBO as elsewise Firefox behaves as though the network is down, whereas with uBO you can interactively choose to proceed.

I see there is an option to download the block lists locally. Does that mean it no longer uses DNS blocking? I see it described as a DNS blocker but it requires a VPN.

Anyway, off to try a

Interestingly, FAISS does exactly that before doing Product Quantization and it works very well (errors are much lower compared to no rotation). They call it “optimal PQ”. During training time, they iterate to find a good candidate and save the best one.

Perhaps not entirely coincidentally, FAISS is also maintained by FB.

This is the legislature failing, not the bureaus though. Like, USFS isn't the problem here. The problem is legislators hamstringing it.
This is neat but the analysis of their work leaves a bit to be desired. You can't just randomly select instructions and see if you did a good job, because the instruction space is not really uniform on any axis that people care about. For example, on a hypothetical ISA that has most the encoding space that is, like, simple arithmetic ops then you can get "good" coverage really easily. But that's not actually very useful because the instructions people care about when doing this kind of analysis are specific and usually more esoteric, and difficult to analyze with a simple bitstring approximation. Like, this definitely cannot discover the semantics of syscall, or rdrand. The authors claim they would have been able to discover reptar if they extended their work slightly, but I think it is pretty dubious that their methodology is powerful enough to do so.

> one of the unique things the CHERI-based architecture permits is a single, flat, shared address space

Although a hardware-optimised take on this is interesting, CHERI is not unique in allowing a flat, shared-address-space operating system using hardware-enforced memory protection.

You can imagine doing such a thing on a regular system by associating a set of capabilities with each thread or process. The capabilities refer to a range of the single address space. Normally the range is not mapped to that process; when the process tries to access the range the kernel handles the page fault by checking the capability list and mapping the range. If a capability is revoked the range is unmapped again and associated caches (i.e. the TLB) are flushed.

This scheme obviously has different trade-offs versus using hardware-checked fat pointers, but has the advantage that it can be implemented on commodity hardware.

This is the basic idea behind the Mungi single-address-space operating system from 1998, among others. (https://research.ibm.com/publications/the-mungi-single-addre...). Is it also straightforward to implement such a scheme at user level in some implementations of L4.

This has actually changed a lot recently since everything now compiles down to WASM along with a bunch of other improvements. Flutter web absolutely makes sense all of a sudden in a bunch of contexts.

That is all too before they have even touched bringing WebGPU in so I think in a medium term scenario it will be an extremely safe bet.

Just by way of example Google Earth just did a major rewrite to put Flutter at the heart of their UI precisely because it was a better experience including on web so I offer that anecdote to suggest your info is kind of out of date.

> their concept of women typically consists of a collection of sexist stereotypes

Perhaps despite my better
judgment, I'm willing to give this one good-faith reply. Your observation is correct, you're identifying something real but you have the explanation wrong. There is another group of women who also fit this description— children. Girls and teenagers also fall into a lot of sexist stereotypes. I certainly did when I was little playing house, dressing up as a princess. I wore way too much makeup when I was first allowed to. But that process is how we grow, and it's okay because we're kids and everyone else is going through it too.

Trans women, whether they want to or not, go through the same phases except as adults. Only worse because after so long of denying themselves any kind of femininity they tend to overdo it a bit. And because newly out trans women are the most visible it becomes all people really know. And look, it's super cringe I agree with you, but they're learning how to be adult women just like we did, and they grow out of it and into their own just like we did.
Disagree.

If enough money moves behind RISC-V, it will catch up. This is exactly how that could happen.

No way Qualcomm just stops selling these chips. As the article says, it is not just Windows machines but smart phones as well.

This will all conclude with a new agreement between Qualcomm and ARM. They both need it to.

If Qualcomm has to stop using ARM for their high-end agenda, their next attempt will use RISC-V for sure.

> delimiting what your employees do in their personal lives and on personal time, whether involving strip clubs or anything else, is not something employers can generally control

Incorrect. Most states have at-will employment laws (or as I like to call them, right-to-be-fired laws), which mean that either party may terminate the employment at any time for any reason (or no reason) except for those specifically delineated in civil-rights legislation (race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age in some cases, etc.). People have been fired for smoking outside of company hours. Their termination has been held up in court. If your boss caught you going into a strip club and determined that this was counter to the moral values espoused by the company, they would have the legal right to fire you on the spot. What's more difficult for companies is to police your behavior off company time and off company premises.
I'd like to propose weird alternative to this:

function throwError(error) {
throw new Error(error);
}

async function createUser(user) {
validateUserInput(user) || throwError(err.userValidationFailed);
isPasswordValid(user.password) || throwError(err.invalidPassword);
!(await userService.getUserByEmail(user.email)) || throwError(err.userExists);

What if...

[
[() => validateUserInput(user), err.userValidationFailed],
[() => isPasswordValid(user.password), err.invalidPassword],
[() => !(await userService.getUserByEmail(user.email)), err.userExists],
].forEach(function([is_good, error]) {
if (!is_good()) {
throw new Error(error);
}
});

Also on the regex:

const rules = [/[a-z]{1,}/, /[A-Z]{1,}/, /[0-9]{1,}/, /\W{1,}/];

No one caught that in all four of these, "{1,}" could be replaced with the much more common "+". A bit odd considering the desire for brevity. I do personally prefer "[0-9]" over "\d", especially considering the other rules, but can go either way on "\W".

I might have also added a fifth regex for length though, instead of doing it differently, if my head was in that mode: /.{8,}/

Yep, this reminds me a lot of how things were before the early 1990s, when the Soviet Union and all the countries aligned with it were behind an "Iron Curtain" and there was very little communication and trade between the two sides.

The Satoshi9000 makes only one claim as a value proposition.

Value proposition: The key value proposition of the machine is that it generates analog randomness in the physical world and converts it into digital (1’s and 0’s) randomness. Especially noteworthy is that it can do so in a visibly, and to a lesser extent audibly (the sound of an agitated coin or die), way that is easily recognized and understood by humans. Other ways of generating digital randomness do not have this characteristic and in some ways have to be considered opaque to the public at large in their method of generating randomness. It comes down to whether people trust their eyes more than a black-box and whether people want this characteristic when generating randomness they are going to use.

I venture to say that anyone, from 5 years old and upwards who saw the machine in operation would understand how it is generating randomness. Dice from prehistory have been used by humans to generate random outcomes, and from the first millennium BC, when coins arose, the same can be said of coins.

Consider a randomized clinical trial. You may have patients that are not technically sophisticated, but must be convinced that the randomized aspects of the trial are done in a way they understand and are willing to give their consent. The same can be said for lawyers.

"I'm not sure what this would add over, for example, entropy derived from a hash of the image of a camera's thermal noise profile." Do you think a 95 year old grandmother will understand the principles by which this type of randomness is created?

Mistrust the machine? Then simply don't use it. ("Don't trust them lying eyes!") What I can say in its favor is it's connected to nothing (air-gapped), you fully control every important aspect of the randomness (fully programmable). Don't like the coins you have? Simply take a quarter from your own pocket and put it in the shaker. Don't like the microcontroller provided, buy (for $4) your own and plug it in. Ditto for the other components. All sensors, motor etc. are commodity parts; replace them. I think this machine is more provably back-door free than any cryptographic machine out there. As I point out in the video, all they important parts used in the generation of randomness walk-away in the palm of your hand -- what I call "walk-away randomness" in the video -- and all that's left is a motor and some wires.

As to the bitrate. Yes, it is not a high bitrate machine, the bit rate of the machine is around 4-bits per minute (time length of tossing/shaking and vigorousness of shaking is wholly under the control of the user - can be longer per shake, faster or slower, or variable during the shake), so for a 256 bit key it takes around an hour. But remember, Bitcoin keys are forever (or the remaining lifetime of the Universe, whichever is shorter), so taking an hour to generate it is short in comparison to its useful lifetime.

I hope the detail, and some background, helps.

Transparency through things like attestation is capable of proving nothing unexpected is running; for instance you can provide power/CPU time numbers or hashes of arbitrary memory and this can make it arbitrarily hard to run extra code since it would take more time.

> Unfortunately, I no longer recommend Bitwarden for normal people because the built-in password manager in Firefox is too good

Interesting, I've always felt that browser-based password managers provided remarkably little value for most people. Using them on mobile is tricky and platform dependent, it's easy to have local-only, non-synced data and then lose it, and being multi-device is trickier, especially in a work context.

On the other hand, people generally understand installing an app on each device they own and that app doing it for them.
> A "pocketable" gaming console in the modern world is essentially a smartphone with analog sticks.

Yes in a technical sense. But no in a business and ecosystem sense.

PSP and Vita had very impressive game offerings that we don’t get on mobile to this day. The games felt like proper PlayStation games, only about 0.5 console generations behind. Back then it meant PS2.5 games. Today it would mean PS4.5 games on your handheld.

Switch is probably the closest today due to its first party games and very fluent support for many popular titles, unlike Steam Deck which is still a bit hacky and not everything it offers runs well. But Switch technically is several generations behind. PSP and Vita really felt like 2/3rds of your PlayStation 3.

No smartphone with a controller add on offers an experience of PlayStation 4.5 with first party titles and support. The business side was executed very well on PSP/Vita. The developers cared for that console.
AFAIK in cold climates they use different refrigerant like methane, but that’s even more expensive.

There will always be different opinions, but my opinion is that storing your TOTPs in your password manager is at best a reduction in security because you're reducing your 2 factors down to 1 factor. If the password manager gets compromised (even phished! It needn't involve the password manager's servers getting hacked), then you gain nothing by having 2FA enabled.

I would strongly advise using something like Aegis on Android, or Gnome Authenticator on desktop (or both). I like to duplicate/backup my seeds so that I'm not SOL if my phone breaks, but I do it by having them on my laptop, desktop, and phone. That way as long as I have one of the three devices, I can always get in, and then they're not "in the cloud." Though, "in the cloud" is still better than "in the cloud alongside all my passwords."
