I recently started using X (Twitter), and got annoyed with my daily new followers that were obviously bots.

I made a Chrome Extension to automate the bot follower removal: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/x-bot-remover/aohkh...

I suspect these bots are being used to boost certain content controlled by their owners, so definitely not good to leave them alone.
This is all pretty far up the semantic creek anyways because forces are only defined in the Newtonian framework.
I broadly agree with the assessment, but I don't think there's an obvious solution. There is only so far the left-leaning half of this country is willing to compromise with the increasingly less-educated, hyper-masculine right side. And while the right side may (barely) have the numbers to stay politically competitive, it's also the side rapidly losing out in terms of education, wealth and status. Backlashes can stall the broader trends, but they generally don't reverse them.

What is google3?
Apple has been focusing on privacy as a part of their core offering since long, long before the iCloud photo leak. Them being imperfect is not a sign that they are willfully malevolent actors.

The post they replied to doesn’t make anything “evident” it just claims without basis that if you want privacy you should stop using Apple products.

I mean sure in an absolute sense that’s true. Using Apple products gives them some information about you. But relatively speaking, Apple tends to collect significantly less data about its users than its competitors: Meta, Google, Microsoft, et al.

Agreed, and I think this isn't really about whether he personally knows legal jargon, but about whether he had a clear idea WTF he wanted before making brash demands and threats.

I wonder if this is also a indication how much people actually value their WP (and by extension other major newspapers) subscription? And how much paying for subscription is kind of charity for them (support of independent journalism, etc.)?

It's nice having to just have a bunch of DT parts and just be good to put it in everything.

I really hate to be the big downer here but given Google's corporate culture is any of this really a surprise?

Google and failure to support are at this point on par with peanut butter and jelly.

I wouldn't ever trust anything Google cosigns as likely to have much longevity. At this point I just assume we all know better.
The problem is PFAS are in basically all the water on the planet and persist in the body for several years. Even if they might have a small effect that will likely be magnified due to accumulation and the long persistence. We have had very similar scenarios before (lead, asbestos,... ) and they had horrible consequences. This is the time to get ahead of this cycle.
Oh, I do take my money elsewhere. However, your livid-ness is a lot more misplaced compared to expecting a very massive, "user friendly," general computing company that "thinks different" to give the people what they want.
Currently it only stores {email, sourceUrl} pairs in a simple object. I deliberately kept the data model minimal both for privacy and performance reasons - the less we store, the faster it runs in the background.
While it'd be technically trivial to scrape more context (DOM path, surrounding text, meta tags), I'm trying to follow the Unix philosophy of 'do one thing well' and the principle of data minimization.

But I'm curious about your use case... what specific data points would be worth the privacy/performance trade-off in your opinion?
To me, a major obstacle on the path to UBI is that it seems to conflict with the interests of those who benefit from the current status quo.

If everyone receives a sufficient basic income, who will fix their toilets or clean their yachts?

If the answer is ’no one’, then I’m afraid we’ll need significant advances in automation and robotics—or pitchforks—before we see UBI implemented.

But my point of view may be simplistic, and wrong.
Even in Java, because the language is relatively verbose, many frameworks fall back to an "inner platform" of magic annotations which have the same problem: e.g. just because you know how Java works doesnt mean your mind hasn't unloaded all the SpringBoot annotation semantics! But despite that it is worth it, because conciseness does matter.

Mill using Scala syntax is like that, but with the added advantage that even if you forget how Scala works, your IDE does not. You can really lean on Intellij or VScode to help you understand and navigate around a Mill build in a way that is beyond what is possible for most build tools: You can autocomplete things, peek at docs, navigate the build graph and module tree, etc. and learn what you need to learn without needing to reach for Google/ChatGPT. I use this ability heavily, and I hope others will enjoy these benefits as well

Gordon Welchman first productionized “traffic analysis” in WW2 at Bletchley Park.

When in his retirement he tried to write about it, it was his work on traffic analysis more than his disclosing that the allies had cracked enigma that most worried the NSA who tried to stop him publishing.

Traffic analysis is in many ways more valuable than the contents of the messages.

Is there a repo we can follow for this?
> We describe Flock as "Flutter+". In other words, we do not want, or intend, to fork the Flutter community. Flock will remain constantly up to date with Flutter.

That was the first fear when I saw the title - splitting community and having two incompatible versions. Good to see it addressed in the post.

The second was just a fear of how it would complicate the development process, but it seems to be a drop-in replacement (just configuring FVM - Flutter Version Manager):

Configure .fvmrc to use Flock:
{
"flutter": "master",
"flutterUrl": "https://github.com/Flutter-Foundation/flutter.git"
}

Flutter is the best thing that happened to UI development since Qt. Most people don't realize how many apps written in Flutter they use daily, simply because it's impossible to tell. And the frustration described in the post is felt by many CTOs and developers. Especially those who use Flutter for desktop and web. Flutter provides an amazing experience for desktop apps, and precisely because of that, it feels so frustrating when you stumble upon some stupid bug that has been open for a year or two and never gets prioritized. Usually, it's nothing critical, but still requires workarounds and wasting time.

I don't know, the idea of Flock sounds good, the main question is engaging the community. Hopefully, the author (who seem to be an ex-Flutter team member himself) have a good grasp on the state of the community.

Wishing luck to the project and going to keep an eye on the progress.
>It is somewhat surprising that unification is cleaner and easier to implement in an loopy imperative mutational style than in a recursive functional pure style. Typically theorem proving / mathematical algorithms are much cleaner in the second style in my subjective opinion.

This is the Curry–Howard correspondence.

While it seems everyone wants to force individuals into one of the formal vs constructivist, it is best to have both in your toolbox.

Contex and personal preference and ability apply here, but in general it is easier for us mortals to use the constructivist approach when programming.

This is because, by simply choosing to not admit PEM a priori, programs become far more like constructive proofs.

If you look at the similarities between how Church approached the Entscheidungsproblem, the equivalence of TM and lambda calculus, the implications of Post's theorm and an assumption of PEM, it will be clear that the formalist approach demands much more of the programmer.

Functional programming grew out of those proofs-as-programs concepts, so if you prefer functional styles, the proofs are the program you write.

Obviously the above has an absurd amount of oversimplification, but I am curious what would have been different if one had started with more intuitional forms of Unification.

For me, I would have probably just moved to the formalist model to be honest like the author.

I just wanted to point out there is a real reason many people find writing algorithms in a functional/constructivist path.

Are you comparing a developer platform to consumer software there? Dev platforms have radically different support costs to regular SaaS or mobile apps. Developers are really support intense.
Absolutely do this. I built one and use it connected to a MacBook Pro. Building it was straightforward and 99% plug-and-play.

NetBSD's cross build system (http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-build.html) is such a joy to use for odd systems like this. Lately I have been playing around with a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-4 (Octeon MIPS64) which is also big endian. Great little platform for home routing and serving under BSD.
Oh, like the 8GB Macbooks they are pushing? Like that kind of "bad by specification"?

We actually don't know what happened exactly because this is all just news articles, but having lived in SE Asia and a decent understanding of the culture... my point is that I could see it actually working out this way:

1. Indo: pay us a bunch of money
2. Apple: how much?
3. Indo: $X millions.
4. Apple: ok... pays them.
5. Indo: We actually want more and if you don't pay us, we will make it illegal
to carry an iphone and we will start arresting people.
6. Apple: screw you, thats a human rights violation and we won't stand for that.

One article on bloomberg [0] said there was only about 9,000 iphones that have been brought into the country so far and mostly hand carried. Apple has paid out $95m. The math isn't adding up.

Or perhaps a neutral viewpoint could still consider many problems/issues with one particular candidate. Perhaps being objective is more important than „not taking sides“ in an unbalanced contest.
You could have just said "no." Also, I don't think it's a traditional feature of America to have highly concentrated media ownership.

It's an assumption that this will be similar, but sure.
Don't waste your time with dns adblocking.

If you are serious about network side blocking do tls interception (lmao) but that is a lot of maintenance, adds other attack surface and the average openwrt device isn't beefy enough for such things.

There is cooler stuff for Openwrt.

So you think they pay for a subscription to get independent journalism, but cancel that subscription if the independent newspaper does not endorse their candidate? That's funny, don't you think?
Oh, they had more subscribers than I expected.
This is something I've witnessed personally as two Yemeni coffee shops have opened up in the East Lansing area. I am not a coffee drinker but you can clearly see these places are popular and getting good reviews.

There have always been a lot of Arab based coffee shops in Dearborn which is a suburb of Detroit. Likewise in Detroit itself I remember as a kid there was an area of downtown called Greektown which was full of Greek coffee shops. My late father used to frequent one of them to write up his sales reports. Lots of old Greeks in there playing cards.

Today Greektown is a heavily touristed area with Greek restaurants, souvenir shops and a casino. The coffee shops can no longer compete with the rising rents.
Honestly that would be awesome. I still dream of autonomous vehicles auto-convoy and link up for efficiency. Just quietly become a train as needed.

The ideal is that a good newspapers' jobs are to provide unbiased facts, not to tell people how to think.

Not endorsing a candidate, but instead focusing on the facts, and on what they genuinely think will be of the most public interest in selecting content, is in fact closer to that ideal.

It is the biased presentation of information, and the corresponding polarisation and information void that lead to the success of candidates using deception to get elected.

So while Washington Post has many biases, this particular decision seems like a step in the right direction process-wise.
Wild. I recall back in the early 2000's my dad was working at ITT Gilfilan (I think they are defunct now - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITT-Gilfillan) and the latest hotness was Gallium Arsenide radar technology. Pretty quickly it seems we leveled up to Gallium Nitride.

Except the argument is university lecture (classroom structure) doesn't work. A personal tutor might be able to teach a concept to all their students, whereas not everyone in a classroom passes. Your argument about sufficiency can be made about books and is not relevant here.
Interesting, but neither lines up with the size from the benchmarking? You would expect the Rust one to match?
> put up some initial capital in exchange for even more money back

The "even more money back" part is, in principle, compensation for you gathering the capital together and taking on the risk of losing. Not that it works out that way in practice.

I strongly suggest reading the actual 3rd circuit TikTok ruling as well as the actual Moody vs NetChoice Supreme Court ruling, both from the year 2024.

> Also frankly, nobody forking Flutter will be nearly skilled enough to work on the Flutter engine (Impeller).

For me its so weird they ditched google/skia to develop Impeller in Dart from scratch in the first place. If skia was not ready they could move just 1-2 developers to Skia team to collaborate with them. Now they want to even write their own 3d rendering lib based on Impeller (flutter_gpu, flutter_scene) even thought google has already mature 3d engine in C++ (google/filament). For me from the outside looks like "not envented in our team" syndrome. We are now in funny situation that react native has react-native-skia and react-native-filament and Flutter teams reinvents the wheels.
Also, many many Apple products and services have been released in the US first. The iPhone, the iPad, the vision pro (still not available in most European countries), the 3D maps, the ECG on the watch etc etc. AppleCare+ was not available here for years, nor are some of the other services (someone mentioned Fitness+).

Releasing later in the EU is just standard operating procedure for Apple. Sure the law makes this more difficult but clearly not impossible. This doesn't just go for AI but for all products. They all need different certifications etc than in the US.

The big difference between this and other stuff is that AI is so hyped everyone wants it right now. That's why it seems to stand out.

There does seem to be a narrative against the EU legislation from the AI companies though. I'm not sure if Apple can be counted as one.

Wow, I had seen signs that Flutter was something special for years, but hadn't checked in a while.

Some relevant data:

- Over 165K GH stars

- Over 140K subredditers

- Over 500K YouTube subscribers

The 1M estimate is at least ballpark accurate.

Perhaps I'm naive or old fashioned, but I prefer this unpolished version. You clearly have an unclosed parenthesis that's attached to a rough sentence, but two minutes of rephrasing will serve you well in improving both your writing and your speech. If you must use it, I'd suggest asking for suggestions rather than rewrites.

Writing is not just about syntax, but also about communicating who you are. This is your true voice.
I have a friend with 4 monitors. I've set at his desk and the feeling is very similar to a tanning bed.

I don't know that he actually needs those monitors, he seems to end up watching e-sports during his work day, though it hasn't affected his career as far as I know. But then he's well above average so even coasting he's doing more than most.

I really have trouble justifying more than two, unless I'm working on a project with DevOps responsibilities.

There are several windows you need and 'losing' one is more problematic for some people than others.

You need to write code. You need to test the code you just wrote. You need source material for writing new code (docs, bug dbs, stack overflow), and you need windows for any background tasks you're responsible for.

Since source material and testing tend not to overlap, one monitor for both usually works out pretty well. A third monitor, oriented it portrait mode, can usually accommodate enough windows to monitor logs or grafana dashboards. Giving over a spare monitor to it improves the gestalt and increases the odds that you will look at it on an interval that your boss approves of. With a wider (taller when rotated) monitor you can fit 2 dashboards with a little room left over to see the rate of new logs - when things are scrolling too fast or too slow that can indicate a problem with the system before it shows on the graphs.

With a big enough primary monitor, I could do with just 2 (and would have to - my 2nd monitor already hangs off the end of my desk). But at 32" I don't feel I have the space to lose it. Also the 2nd monitor has my only video camera.
thats a cool project!

> That's 50 people serving the needs of 1,000,000. [...] that means that every single member of the Flutter team is responsible for the needs of 20,000 Flutter developers! That ratio is clearly unworkable for any semblance of customer support.

Ever heard of e.g. curl? Because a billion users use your software does not mean that you have to talk to a billion users.
I was tempted to gut it and stick in a display driver board but that comes with a risk of destroying the thing. It’s still running fine and I could find use for it elsewhere.

But you’re right. It’s a damned fine display.
Flutter is really not some big revelation and it's always shocking to me how it's evangelists act like it's the game changer no one else has noticed.

Hey it's me, Max. I ran the analysis for WIRED and got them their initial 47% number for AI content.

The CEO accused me of trying to extort him because I sent a short email with our findings prior to the publication of this article.

He also casts doubt on the efficacy of AI detection (fair) but I think our AI detection model is orders of magnitude more accurate than the others and I stand by its predictions.
The point isn't that they didn't endorse a particular candidate, it's that this decision was made in a way that was completely antithetical to independent journalism.
What year are you currently living in? A good 2TB Gen5 NVMe with W/R speed upto 7,000MB/s can be had for less than $200 during sales that happen multiple times a year. Go down 1 tier lower to 4,000-5,000MB/s and you can have one for just $120. Nobody puts SATA in premium laptops, hasn't been the case for quite the few years, you got brainwashed good by Apple.
Part of that line of thought was that it just came on the heels of meta announcing they would no longer bring AI products to the EU at all. So I can imagine the thinking behind this.

But for Apple it's pretty normal to release later in the EU. They almost always do this with new products and services.
