Hmmm....nope. Meth heads and stimulant junkies end up fried......unable to function until they get back to baseline and it takes month+ for every month of recreational use to return to baseline......

add in actual chronic usage of amphetamines and cocaine and you end up with the attention span of a mouse and are less functional after you re-up than you were before you ever started....

the impact is so stark from amphetamines and stimulants it's fascinating that until you clean yourself up...you won't see it

It is indeed incredible.

Nitpick, but I'm not sure 'satellite' is correct in this context. Voyager is in a solar system escape trajectory.

Perhaps I am alone in this, but when speaking scientifically, I think it's important to separate out clearly what we think we know and what we do not. Not just to avoid misconceptions amongst ourselves but also to avoid misleading lay people reading these articles.

I understand that for some people, the mere presence of words that look like they were written by a human engaged in purposeful deception is enough to condemn the model that actually emitted them. The overview compares the model to to the villain in Othello, and it's what the authors believe: it is maliciously "subverting" and "undermining" its interlocutors. What I am trying to state here is the reason this arugment does not work for me: the machines pretend to do all kinds of things. Maybe they are knowingly deceiving us. Maybe they don't know what they're doing at all. Either way, the burden of proof is on Anthropic and anyone who wants to take up the yoke, not us.

This, for me, is not a technicality. What do we really know about these models? I don't think it's fair to say we know the are intentionally deceiving us.

Nice! It's pretty cool what you can make in a few thousand lines. Though Flex isn't my favorite as I prefer full CSS Grid. So I ended up making a CSS Grid layout library that I'm proud of in pure Nim (1). Though I'll have to checkout Clay and compare some of the layout algorithms.

It's neat to see boxes resizing themselves using an algorithm you implemented. Wonder if I could expose a C interface?

The reason I like CSS Grid is that I could imitate the formatting like this:

test "compute others":
var gt: GridTemplate

parseGridTemplateColumns gt, ["first"] 40'ux \
["second", "line2"] 50'ux \
["line3"] auto \
["col4-start"] 50'ux \
["five"] 40'ux ["end"]

I think a lot of it comes down to what the forum incentivizes. Hacker News is anonymous, but people tend to be quite nice, the worst thing I see here is people being pretentious or know-it-alls, but nothing like the absolute vitriol you see on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Doesn't this mean you can't ever remove an element from the array, only add to it?

Huh? That other article was Doctors Without Borders. This is Human Rights Watch. Are you flagging all of these because of the topic?
> keys are split across a decentralized network [...] so no one ever holds the full key. [...] in a breach there’s no unchecked authority exposed.

so shamir secret sharing, which requires users to coordinate to unlock vaults and get tokens, and if one key gets compromised, the attacker still has to solve the coordination problem with a threshold of other key holders. that's within the realm of things we trust today.

there are a few black boxes and flags in the description that would ordinarily get hammered pretty hard by security people who have to make decisions about this stuff, but more charitably:

I'm guessing the fabric is probably a ledger that users subscribe to and that's how it becomes decentralized? imagining how this works, tidecloak adds its fabric as a party to each users (ephemeral?) SSS vault, where the fabric would usually be a centralized dependency, but if the number of SSS parties on the user vault is 3 or greater, your fabric key also requires coordination with another party to participate in unlocking the vault, so it can only participate optionally in an SSS vault decrypt- and probably just for something like a change/recovery operation?

(I'm speculating a bit to draw out some concrete corrections, as the some of those term usages in the description would draw heavy flak in a technical sales or architecture meeting.)

I had no idea Apple ever did this. And the idea of a floppy drive that doesn’t have auto-inject is just sacrilege.

What “real games” on mobile devices are you thinking of? I assumed when you said real games you meant desktop games only hardcore gamers play.

So why does one game crashing on a tablet prove anything?

I think you’re right about browsers not providing enough graphics debugging tools… at least half the entire problem is browsers. They also don’t provide storage APIs that can deal with game assets, nor robust APIs for audio & controllers & peripherals. For better or worse, the current set of anti-cheat software for competitive games can’t run in the browser. The other half of the problem is distribution and ecosystem.

To a first approximation, around ~0% of the problem is WebGL, at least for mobile games, casual games, and most non-AAA games. The graphics is the one thing that’s more or less there and good enough, it’s everything else that’s missing.

There's something about three-letter words with an A in the middle that make people assume they're acronyms. HAM and MAC (as in, Macintosh) are often incorrectly written that way. It's weird.
> to the point where they drop leaflets that say when they’re going to bomb a building and call cell phones in the area to tell the civilian population to get out

What about the times they tell the civilians to move to, say, Southern Gaza, because they're going to start bombing Northern Gaza more heavily, and then when they do, they increase bombing of Southern Gaza by 85%?

> it doesn’t take very long for a nation state to successfully complete genocide

I didn't realize you had to "complete" a genocide within a certain time limit. Besides, what's the rush? The global reaction so far is that there'll be loud words and fists thumped on tables, but that they'll let Israel do largely whatever it wants.
Does using save as retain changes you make in the HTML (like aedits on a contenteditable element)? In my experience it does not. When you save, the originally loaded html will be saved, any changes in html stay in your browser.

Strawman, what is absurd is your own reduction. Hopefully you see the difference between running a build/install command that pulls 100+ dependencies from the network that may change any moment without notice versus downloading a standalone software package that is appropriately licensed.

This is a very neat exercise but I don’t think it’s going to create change. These models already exist and I’ve never met anyone who said their reason for not investing in solar is because they felt the accuracy of existing models is not good enough. I say this as someone who lives on a part of the world where a large % of the inhabitants could have solar but do not - and I find it sad, frustrating and puzzling.

Biggest blockers for solar are (total conjecture) :
1- Inertia - flat out.
2- Long-term ROI is not totally clear - How long till I need to replace, roof damage, ability to hold up in storm.
3- Cost - You need to invest sig $ to see your electric bill decrease meaningfully. Gov subsidies are nowhere near where they should be.

I am praying for a major breakthrough in cell efficiency to make it a no brainer. Does anyone have any insight on that?

Please help: My business Facebook, Instagram, and personal acct all got disabled
We're literally customers (ads) of facebook. No warning. Instagram claims we "violated community standards" on our business account, where we have only been posting our very above-board podcast videos.

I've already submitted a request for appeal, which was ~immediately denied. My FB account of 15+ years, plus all my groups, my various pages, and my followers, my business assets - all gone?

It's hard to even know what happened to trigger this. We've been making maybe 1-2 posts per day at most on the instagram account, and maybe have like 15 followers. Obviously the loss of the personal account + personal groups has a much bigger impact to me personally... but it's also crazy that they would clobber an active small business, that's paying them no less.

Can anyone at Meta please help?
Yep. This becomes expected path - Corporate Open Source, eventually changes license to improve monetization. The way to avoid this is pick foundation based Open Source software which is not controlled by single Corporation like PostgreSQL, Linux or Kubernetes.

The other interesting example is Copyleft software, where "Corporation" does not have complete copyright holder. For example Percona or MariaDB can't "close source" their MySQL forks of the core software, though it does not prevent them from doing it with other parts of the complete platform, think MariaDB MaxScale.
Honestly the first thing I do is get busybox, busybox's behavior is at least somewhat predictable.

Stripe recently launched an entitlements API [1] that is meant to aid in provisioning and deprovisioning customers, but product integration is not provided (You create subscribe/unsubscribe webhooks and update the entitlements in your own data model, after which you need to build the APIs and functionality to use them). As you alluded, this is actually complementary to Planship, and integration between Stripe features/entitlements and Planship levers/entitlements is something we're considering pending customer feedback.

Thanks for the question!

If the product line stops making sense or enough money they'll kill it. They're no Google, but it won't be the first product line that goes belly up.

The best scenario would be an industry standard that is widely more interesting than AirTags and works around the current compromises, letting Apple expand support to a wider audience. E.g. if the stalking problem had an elegant solution.
You understand it perfectly. This is an example of an SPA that displays content based on authentication/roles – all client side. This was to demonstrate the simplest, most straightforward implementation in a few minutes. If you look closer, the authentication is secure by a signed-JWT which can easily be extended to server side content customization and direct api/db access. Developers in our beta program are already doing this across ReactJS / NextJS / Java / Dotnet / PHP/ Etc.

"If you relativelly fit, and have some experience with actual fights or training in martial arts, it is not that stupid to try to recover your stuff."

Anyone with actual experience will tell you that no amount of training will save you from the lucky stab/shot/unknown. Sure, you might win 9/10 times, but is that worth it? Sometimes maybe, other times no. Usually it's better to notify police and let the system handle it. If you handle it yourself, the system in many jurisdictions will fuck you just as bad as the real criminal unless you actively witnessed it or were attacked first.

And getting into a physical fight with real injury potential because of an item?

If it is a cheap thing it is not worth it. If it is more expensive usually the law is on your side. Either way, there's no need for physical confrontation.

> the reason he resort to this kind of criminal activity is preciselly because he is not ready for the violent potential of more profitable criminal activities.

That's a gamble. What if the reason is that, although the thief _could_ be violent, they were smart enough to realize that they can get more results with less personal risk? In which case, your 'martial arts' training is meaningless when you have a knife or a bullet going through you.
Yeah, it seemed a bit odd. Like I would wonder if I could xommjnicste with it. But I would also know that could jeopardize the craft and is probably illegal in some way.
I think it has to do with the assurance of the warranty. The ROI is loooong; solar contractors can go out of business leaving the parts on the roof lacking in the promised energy savings. Who wants to litigate against a bankrupt company?

Vision Pro, based on its name, its pricing, its marketing, the state of the OS/ecosystem at launch, and so on and so forth was never meant to "sell well". It is an early entrance and closer to a devkit than a typical apple consumer product. This was universally acknowledged (as far as anything is universally acknowledged) from the get go.

It seems like that you could have made the conclusion that it should be discontinued before it went on the market if "poor sales" justifies that for this device.

You’re right Apple has a playbook of changing port types every few years, but there are adaptors available. The devices themselves still work, just that Apple knows they can use this one trick to encourage some customers to upgrade.

With wireless devices, protocol changes would brick the device, so they’d be less likely to do it so quickly. As far as I know, Apple haven’t announced any plans to deprecate the original Airpods, which came out 8 years ago and use some custom protocols alongside vanilla Bluetooth.

Maybe in the future they’ll start deprecating parts of the protocol (“in order to save your phone’s battery life” or something), but I don’t believe they have so far.
I believe that the cinematographer who I was quoting has much more short-term practical goals.

What he might be thinking is that there are 400k to 500k people who have already spent $3500 on a device which currently has no content. If he got 10% of them to "spend" $2 on his short immersive video experience, that would cover the cost of the camera + shoot + profit, in his first successful attempt.
I think part of the reason is just the visual factor- TV screens don't do a particularly good job of showing off solid colored blades compared to how they look in person.

On top of that, I believe it is easier to run into problems with delamination, or that a small flaw can more easily be a larger problem.

If anything, it seems like an added challenge to demonstrate that you can do it, as a way to distinguish the blade in the final judging if it performed similarly to the others.

Ultimately, though, it's still just showmanship and not an actual indication of the quality of the blade itself. It's a TV show, after all.
