It would, but when you reach a certain age these institutions dont have power over you anymore to such an extent and when reintroduced to being as controlled as people were when they were back in school but in their adult lives at their older age they tend to freak out.

Yes 30 minutes of exercise a day and other ”law” like one preventing people from overeating to where they wouldn’t be able to walk anymore would be wildly positive but seeing as it’d impose on the freedom to be unhealthy it would not work.

Yeah, I know the point of this site is to give us a dystopian shock by showing us how much information Big Tech extracts from our photos, but it's inadvertently a pretty good advertisement for Google's Vision API. It did a fantastic job of summarizing the photos I threw at it.

Government propaganda tells you very little about the society as a whole, especially in authoritarian countries. That said ordinary Muscovites seem to have no qualms about running an imperialist state that concentrates wealth from ethnic minorities into only two regions. Corruption is widely accepted, and self-promoting lies are tolerated as just vranyo. Alcoholism is a massive problem. There’s a pretty high tolerance for violence, since Russia’s casualties in this war dwarf the numbers Americans saw in Vietnam. Plus, the safety regulations are atrocious; important people keep falling out of windows.

I think it’s safe to say Russian values are at at the heart of their social problems.

There are actually IDE plugins which perform 'semantic line wrapping'.
But that is besides the point. Of course, it can make sense to add manual line wraps, especially if the developer intends to make his intentions clearer by using line breaks at specific points.

But lots of developers use formatting plugins to force line breaks anyways - and they are no better then the IDE linewrapping.

Your company has been knowingly in breach of the GDPR since it went into effect and shows no signs of stopping despite multiple adverse rulings and fines. There is no reason to trust a company whose entire business model is based on breaching privacy regulations and lying about it.

What you're saying is either an outright lie you are telling us, or a lie you have been told and are yourself choosing to believe to feel better about working for them, or to not put yourself at risk by digging deeper and finding adverse information (which once you know it you may be required to blow the whistle or find yourself legally complicit in the matter).

Basic economics suggests there is no reason Meta (then-Facebook) would pay what it had paid for WhatsApp for "just" a messaging app, especially before it was as entrenched as it is now (and so could trivially be dethroned by Facebook's own offering). They did so because unlike Facebook, people trusted WhatsApp with access to their contacts and that information is extremely important for Meta.
Interesting that Weinstein and Ciszek are unmentioned anywhere else, given their widely known and recognized involvement in this matter. Weinstein's extended hypothesis is far more interesting and compelling that this particular paper.
Because if you integrate with Apple Pay or Google Wallet then iOS or Android become the platform that delivers tailored applications, not your "everything app". Almost like that is exactly how it currently works in much of the world.

You are arguing in the wrong direction. You think I am arguing that supporting payments is a compelling feature for get customers. So, logically, you just need to add the ability to do payments in some way. My argument is actually that a robust payments platform is the moat needed to prevent your "everything" app from fragmenting by preventing your users from going around or under you. A lower level platform that provides a low friction means of payments for delivered services undercuts the coherency of the higher level platform since applications can be delivered around you.

So your examples actually support my argument. Payment platforms like Apple Pay and Google Wallet attached to their service delivery platforms, the app stores + OS, make it hard to lock people into "everything" apps because the OS is the "everything" app. Efficient inter-account transfers prevent "everything" apps from locking users into their payment ecosystem. If you do not have the payment moat, you are left with actually competing on features and delivery of services which is really hard to do across "everything", so you are better off focusing instead of trying to make a "everything" app.
The US did have SMS caps/charges, but pre-2008-iPhone+AppStore. (from memory)

Consequently, I don't remember much of a timespan when US customers had both (a) SMS caps/charges and (b) smartphones with open-enough app stores to distribute something like WhatsApp.

For much of the rest of the world, including international communication, that was a more extended period.

> What's the point of having it public then? The department of transportation is already using that data for monitoring traffic so there's zero need for anyone else to replicate their work.

Personally I do find it useful to be able to glance at the NYC traffic cams as a supplement to traffic maps, not only because having an actual visual on the traffic can help me decide on a driving route better than red or green map lines or a routing algorithm I know will take me on an inferior path to “avoid” perceived traffic, but also because the cameras pick up other nearby stuff. I like to go on runs over the Brooklyn Bridge, but it’s so swarmed with tourists most of the time that I’ll check the DOT cameras so I can see if the pedestrian path is clear enough to run on without being clotheslined by a selfie stick.

I also spend a lot of time north of the city, and the state highway traffic cams are great for checking the plowing status during/after winter storms before setting off for a trip.

Why was it a bad idea to do pipeline parallelism?
The digits of pi can pass some statistical tests of randomness but isn't in fact random, because it's the digits of pi - as you note there's an algorithm for producing it. As I mentioned, there are some problems with giving a rigorous definition of randomness, but one of the main approaches is through Kolmogorov complexity: "Kolmogorov's definition of a random string was that it is random if it has no description shorter than itself via a universal Turing machine."

It's been a thing in Japan off and on for a few decades at least resulting in fewer sick days. [1] I could see commercial gym's being upset if this were implemented. In the US and EU it would probably have to be voluntary at first with really good incentives to get people into it and would probably have to remain voluntary for one or two generations.

I think a harder challenge would be to get rid of all the bad foods and snacks. Facebook might be a good place to test removing bad foods given how many people live there and never leave. I can not even begin to imagine the incentives that would be required for people to adopt it.

AI Is Lying to Us About How Powerful It Is
The comment I replied to is whinging about how EVs are not good enough for inner cities because flats don't have enough overnight charging spots. Now you're saying waa there's no trains in the middle of Bumfuck Nowhere, you need to catch a bus or bike to the station and it takes an extra half an hour. So which one is it?? Sorry for the crude language but it just seems like you have an opinion set from principle and then just apply any arguments you can to justify it.

The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, excellent public transport, excellent bike infrastructure. The majority of people don't need a car!! That's just a fact. And the people who do need it can still use it, precisely because the people who don't need have viable alternatives to driving.
I used to, back in the better days whence I ran, keep gps records of most of my trajectories.

None ever made significant art, but it's not an unpleasant exercise in itself to mentally revisit the paths while attempting to remember as many details as possible.

There's so much think-time on distance runs, so much to take in, if the discomfort doesn't lower the proverbial brow beneath the shoe into the gutters of the mind, which it often did for me.
It;s a funny stream, Devin spends one and half hours trying to push to master.
Whatsapp is the only app (or any piece of software for that matter) you will actually see embedded in the physical world, in the form of street signs for neighborhood watch groups.

Very unfortunate given its now part of an adtech conglomerate. The defacto messaging app for such uses should be Signal.
Not claiming to understand lora but I guess that is probably because it kinda sweeps through the band so reflections which belong together come on the same frequency and therefore can add to the reconstruction of the signal (waves hands)
> We need your contacts to provide the service, but don’t share your contacts with Meta.

There are plenty of ways to make this statement 100% factual and still effectively leak the user's address book, at least in a form useful to Meta. It is true that Meta doesn't need your raw contacts, it just needs certain inferences made from them. WhatsApp can perfectly well make those inferences and only share those, with some trivially-reversed "anonymization" on top as an extra layer of obfuscation.
No need for any ML models here, you can "just" do an FFT on a conventional signal and pick out the peaks
I know you and others would "for sure" argue it's art. That's precisely my point. I'm not convinced art is in the intent. Personally, it feels like Marcel Duchamp and others have conned everyone into believing that, though again I'm sure you'd disagree.

But it's definitely not "for sure" anything, as in it's not obviously, axiomatically, intrinsically, self-evidently the case. Even if the art scene today has collectively agreed on that view for the most part.

I subscribe to a more formalist or conservative view of art, particularly Roger Scruton's. Art is based on its intrinsic aesthetic properties and the kind of contemplative experience it elicits. Meaning the artwork’s formal or aesthetic aspects are central. It's those things that make it art and give it value, rather than whatever the artist intended to say or do.

If you subscribe to this view—which to me is what the average person would subscribe to, or the "common sense" view—then the photos in the article have very little aesthetic value and elicit no contemplative experience. At best, they promote discussion about state surveillance, which is a political but not an artistic endeavor. It's not just "bad art", but rather "conflating political statements with art", as I said at the top.
In my family, absolutely.

In my workplace, they pay you $$ for submitting step counter data, etc.

I like it; child birth is often ignored in these rankings, but without it a society collapses. You can’t just accept more immigrants because they may not want to assimilate into the culture or be capable of taking on the jobs left by the previous generations.

Is unified memory practical for a "normal" desktop/server configuration though? Apple has been doing unified memory, but they also have the GPU on the CPU die. I would be interested to know if a discrete GPU plugged into a PCIe slot would have enough latency to make unified memory impractical.

It would be neat if they had a process for interactively "zooming in" on a given artifact with a suitably equipped human. For example, on the slab print human legible instructions for building a microscope. Then, when you look at the slab again with the microscope you built, there are more instructions on building a better microscope, a computer, and a decoding algorithm. This can continue, such that the N-1 level instructions allow the human read the artifact at Nth level density, unlocking further instructions, until you reach "bottom". I assume there are people expert in theory-crafting a message that self-teaches the language in which it is written. This also assumes there is no meaningful interaction of representations at different levels, or ones that can easily be accounted for.
A conspiracy involving thousands of people lying and no one speaking up over many years (it's been over 9 years since the acquisition) is incredibly unrealistic. Your hypothesis that WhatsApp shares the addressbook with Meta is not at all probable.
WhatsApp has not become the "everything app" in the EU either?

People use it for chatting with people, groups of people, or businesses. Virtually no one uses the Status or Communities feature.

I have 289 people in my phone book right now, 1 of them occasionally posts on Status when on vacation. Of 25 people I quickly checked with, not one of them uses Communities.
Must my Search Engine be "self aware" to return images, not text when I do an image search?
Move to the EU.

Somehow, neither Google, nor Microsoft, nor Samsung, nor (probably) any other big tech company, can usefully extract data from photos anymore. Face recognition in particular works like one of those Shabbat-compatible appliances: something gets extracted at some point, eventually, but infrequently, and only when you're not looking - and, most importantly, it's not possible for you to control or advise the process. The AI processing runs autonomously in such a way that you may start doubting whether it's happening at all!

I assume that this is the vendors' workaround around GDPR and such in relevant jurisdictions, but this also makes face search/grouping nearly useless. Don't get me wrong - I'm very much with the EU on data protection and privacy, but getting gaslighted by the apps themselves about the extents of and reasons for ML limitations in those apps, that's just annoying.
That's not really how hibernation works in mammals, they have to raise their body temperature and come out of hibernation every couple weeks, the leading theory is this is to (ironically) catch up on sleep.

Here's the algorithm https://doi.org/10.1145/3458744.3473357. My paper with Joseph on the implementation is at https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-40744-4_15.

The syscall layer this runs on was written at https://github.com/JonChesterfield/hostrpc, 800 commits from May 2020 until Jan 2023. I deliberately wrote that in the open, false paths and mistakes and all. Took ages for a variety of reasons, not least that this was my side project.

You'll find the upstream of that scattered across the commits to libc, mostly authored by Joseph (log shows 300 for him, of which I reviewed 40, and 25 for me). You won't find the phone calls and offline design discussions. You can find the tricky volta solution at https://reviews.llvm.org/D159276 and the initial patch to llvm at https://reviews.llvm.org/D145913.

GPU libc is definitely Joseph's baby, not mine, and this wouldn't be in trunk if he hadn't stubbornly fought through the headwinds to get it there. I'm excited to see it generating some discussion on here.

But yeah, I'd say the syscall implementation we're discussing here has my name adequately written on it to describe it as "my code".

At the time, Google was in a much weaker position to push against carrier demands, because it didn't have as firm control over Android OEMs.

So it was trying to juggle carrier + OEMs + Android and keep everyone happy.

Anything that upset one party wasn't going to happen. Only in more recent, Samsung/Pixel-centric times has Google had iPhone-like negotiating weight (and will).

Also I might win even without vulns. I don't write frameworks, I just write the service or website directly. And less abstractions and 3rd party code can mean more quality.
Private school cohort is a minority, and those kids in the aggregate will do well because of their parents’ wealth, income, and time available. Private school teachers typically are compensated appropriately and empowered as well (as opposed to public teachers who are not). Managing expectations, but also realistic expectations.
