> Besides, the cat is out of the bag.

That's what I was thinking too.

I am not sure what the value is in severely regulating half a dozen or so companies when work arounds are so easily to implement. Maybe as a stop gap solution while we figure out long term solutions (which the government has a horrible track record on).

But for any long term solution we would first have to define what social media even is, and in a way that's testable in court. Don't run away from the hard things, but wow, that's hard.
I don't know exactly how flycast works but I've done similar things with other emulators and you take an action in the game (take damage, type something), then search memory for that value. In this case the ascii code for the letter typed. Keep doing this until you've narrowed down a single block of memory that holds everything you've done

Then they should be much more concerned about their country invading Taiwan than the US invading them.

> I can assure you a lot of them are less than thrilled by the rhetoric around China as the #1 enemy of the US. I worked there when Trump's first round of trade tariffs were being implemented, and we were busy relocating the our hardware manufacturing outside of China - it was a tense environment.

Well tough shit. I'm less than thrilled about the actions China takes against the US, yet I still work with Chinese coworkers.

> But I'd argue that anyone from pretty much anywhere in the Middle East, Asia, or Latin America has reasonable historical grounds to question if US intervention is in their future (whether clandestine or a full-blown invasion).

If we're moving the goalposts to include clandestine intervention, then no major power has clean hands.

I did not hear this, and neither did the median voter. Perhaps that is down to our choice of media diets, but we should take such things as constants when considering political outcomes.

I did hear Trump loudly, constantly, inaccurately talking about Grocery prices.
I didn't realize a vote for Trump was a vote for selfless austerity. Macro-economics is hard, but seizing up world trade is one well known easy way to ignite an actual depression, not just the kind-of-but-not-really recession we had under Biden.

According to Apple,

"A randomly generated UID is fused into the SoC at manufacturing time. Starting with A9 SoCs, the UID is generated by the Secure Enclave TRNG during manufacturing and written to the fuses using a software process that runs entirely in the Secure Enclave. This process protects the UID from being visible outside the device during manufacturing and therefore isn’t available for access or storage by Apple or any of its suppliers."[1]

But yes of course, you have to trust the manufacturer is not lying to you. PCC is about building on top of that fundamental trust to guard against a whole variety of other attacks.

In my spare time I started to learn Rust, and it has been great for me. While I think the language is great for many things, the largest problem is the learning curve.

So that means it's very hard to introduce in a company where the focus is on getting code out there as cheap as possible. Especially when the majority of work is done by contractors which in general aren't hired to learn new stuff, but more to execute work with existing skills.

Personally, once I became proficient enough in Rust my way of programming changed, and this actually became an issue when having to write other languages. Learning to write Rust actually increased my cognitive load when writing other languages, as I am constantly worried about not having my safety net.

> They sometimes modify their English pronunciation to sound "more Japanese" when they start English classes in school

I saw a video where an American was trying to order a McFlurry at McDonalds in Japan and the worker couldn't understand "McFlurry" pronounced in English so they had to pronounce it in what (without context) would sound quite racist.
hardly surprising
That’s not the point, the point was that democrats don’t care about blue collar or the working class and they obviously take actions to show that.

Then if asking for clarification requires understanding, what do you make of cases where the LLM does ask for clarification (e.g: https://i.imgur.com/OXQF2nx.png)? If it's doing something that requires understanding, does that not imply understanding?
How hard do you expect it would be to improve the heralded infidelity from 45% to 10%?

In figure 3 of the paper [1] the heralded infidelity of entanglement is reported to be around 45%. That's not good enough for computation, but it's less than 50% which means it makes purification to arbitrarily low infidelity possible. However, the conversion rates would be pretty brutal for such a high infidelity start (e.g. millions of physical pairs consumed per logical pair good enough for use in a fault tolerant computation e.g. a target logical infidelity of 1e-6 or 1e-9).

They are making an upper stage with no fins or heat shield. It's called HLS. But they don't need it just to launch payloads to orbit. Starship has such a bonkers huge payload capacity already that it's plenty for now. Nobody is asking for more yet.

The problem as I see, given a choice, people rather eat/do/listen/feel things that they want, not the things they’re being forced on. In the past, you didn’t really have a choice and was forced to do what everyone is doing. Now, to live in such communities, you’ll have to get rid of the choice. Which also sucks.

The point about linting still stands, though. I recently had to grep for a note I was really sure was there, but didn't show in the roam-find- autocomplete. Turns out, at some point I must've accidentally put a stray character that made properties section stop parsing, dropping the note from the system. Another case is when I occasionally add what I intend to be roam note as a new org file, and then forget to press the shortcut I have to give the file an ID.

(EDIT: Similarly, over the years I had a few cases of some TODOs I forgot about because I accidentally made a whole subtree stop parsing with a stray character. Rare as it is, I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't switch to modal editing a la vim, as those mistakes tend to happen when moving through the outline with "speed keys".)

In general, Org works well for me, but damn if the fragility of plaintext doesn't bite me every now and then.

> You cannot even purify silicon in zero-g, you need some-g for impurities to go up and down.

Only if you're using the purification technique that was developed for use on Earth that takes advantage of Earth's gravity.

There's other ways to purify silicon. Off the top of my head and not because it's necessarily a good idea even in zero-g*, there's the Calutron: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calutron

> The average distance between molecules of the atmosphere is 3.3nm, this is about 10 times of the typical atom diameter. You need 1/1000 of the standard atmosphere pressure to make this distance ten times bigger. Which will pretty much be the hard vacuum at the scale of the atom manipulation.

That's famously how gases differ from liquids and solids, yes.

I'm more pointing towards it being easier to control the doping of the semiconductors when you don't need to worry about the presence of oxygen (or water vapour), and that this is a very very clean "clean room" that you get for free without having to filter out the dust** or pollen because there wasn't any in the first place.

* it might be cost effective or not, I'm making no claim either way because I don't care enough to try and engineer something like this and then compare it to the alternatives

For now, BemiDB supports only full Postgres table data re-sync. We plan to enable real-time data syncing from Postgres into S3 by using logical replication (CDC), which is much more reliable than PG NOTIFY.

We use logical replication and this exact approach with our other project related to auditing and storing Postgres data changes https://github.com/BemiHQ/bemi. We're thinking about combining these approaches to leverage scalable and affordable separated storage layer on S3.

This is so incredible. My friend's mom loves dying wool with natural pigments (she even gets her wool from local alpacas!) and she'll go crazy for this. She has wanted a blue/green for a while and it turns out there's one that actually grows around us.

Actually a lot of these mushrooms can be found around where I live. I'll have to go on some hunts before winter!

edit: It would be cool to see something like this for other materials like barks and leaves. As teenagers we used to go around the woods finding her all kinds of weird stuff to dye things with... usually while hunting for our own mushrooms (not for dying things)
> I grew up in a pre internet world. We had "negative effects being left out of a social circles" then too. Social circles being hard is not going away regardless of how this decision lands.

The fact that you never grew up in the social media world highlights exactly why you don't understand the problem despite thinking you do. Your good old "social circles being hard" issue is not the problem here.

Please understand that there are plenty of situations where someone gets invited to something if and only they are visible to others and easy to invite. i.e. there exist plenty of situations where being on the platform is the sole determining factor. And that being off the platform that the majority use puts a very significant, ongoing, and asymmetric burden on the host (or invitor, if it's a different person) to keep them posted on all the details that did not exist otherwise, and this fundamentally makes one less likely to be included, in an entirely natural and unavoidable fashion that is no fault of anyone involved, and has nothing to do with "social circles being hard".

You have to recognize when the system is making a problem worse than it naturally is.

> with Matrix if you join a group chat hosted on another server, the entire history of the chat gets synced to your server.

This is not true. By default most Matrix implementations sync the last 20 messages in a room when a server joins that room, pulling in other messages only on demand if a user back-paginates the room. Room state (i.e. key-value metadata about the room) also no longer gets synced in atomically at join - instead it gets pulled in in the background (so-called 'faster joins': https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/syna...).

> Unimaginable in the US.

Not at all.

Even in the US, rural folk have been beaming directional wifi to each other for a couple decades now (at least), and sharing utilities by personally running electrical, coax, telephone, or ethernet throughout a shared building or across houses stretches back for as long as those services have been available.

Sharing ("stealing") Cable TV by just running coax around was huge before those systems transitioned from simply using sometimes-encrypted broadcasts to a more authenticated/addressable scheme. For decades, party lines (for the telphone) were both official installations from the telephone company and de facto local networks run by one's handy neighbors. Countless people punched ethernet between walls in apartment units just the way you describe to share upstream connections. Same goes for power in squatted urban units or among trailers/shacks where they would be clustered tightly.

What made it unfamiliar to you (and perhaps many here) was probably just the class and finances of your family and the people they mingled with.
