I don’t really have any background on this so calling this legislation ‘draconian’, jumping directly into opinion pieces and court proceedings without giving any context isn’t really compelling to me

I ChatGPT’d an intro on this, and asked who would be for/against it. At face value, it sounds like it’s gathering personally identifying info about business owners.

I’m not really sure about the intent/context behind this. Shell companies, tax fraud, are some topics that come to mind? Would love to hear if anyone else has more background.
There's always the escape hatch of marking a derivation as impure.

However, most tests should really have no reason to be impure by design. And tests that do depend on side effects might as well be re-evaluated every time.

Never, ever let CVS get hold of your cell number. They start texting and texting and texting, and to get it to stop you have to phone your local store AND the headquarters.
Yes, when you have the general principles of programming, but not experience with a particular technology, ChatGPT is a force multiplier.

Probably because they already had to support it. HCL won IT support contracts in many banks across Europe and probably elsewhere. I reckon many of those banks still use old IBM tech like mainframes and Notes (for email and internal apps). It's hard to support something when it's EOL and you don't have the source code.
Everyone hates “the system”, including the people in it. But every party of the system is perfectly fair and reasonable for the people benefitting from it, even if they hate every other part. So every part of the system will have people fighting for it—and if you try to change the whole system, the entire system will fight you. It’s an equilibrium, even if it’s obviously far from optimal.
I'm guessing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_B._Gillies is a good bet for this claim.

Gun and weapon detection is still useful to stop shootings and stabbings that arise out of fights, where one member may suddenly present and use a previously concealed weapon.

Agreed that the usefulness against a crazed gunman is less clear, although crazies do not always have a rational plan. If the weapon was concealed in a backpack or something the security may be able to tackle them before they access it. If they’re carrying it in an easily accessible, concealed holster, that’s less effective and they might be able to draw and use it after being detected.
His mistake was treating adversaries as business partners. Yes, we should not be putting opportunists anywhere near matters of national security any more than you'd make a Gazprom executive a member of the Politbeurau.

Interested in weighing frequency. I was recently eating in a caloric surplus to aid in muscle gain and I didn't weigh myself super frequently, but as I'm coming up on a cut that'll be a bit harder for me, I'm interested in why you've personally chosen 3 days a week.

Not all passkeys need to be stored on the device. This is exactly what things like key-derivation functions are for. You can have a "primary" device key that derives a Passkey based on the site address with maybe a little salt and/or pepper (but maybe not needed with most KDFs).

FIDO2 allows that just fine, it's a complicated dance between the hardware vendor and the OS right now if your particular hardware device uses a full slot per Passkey or derives the Passkey from some "primary" key.
1. Up at 4:30AM on 95%+ of days

2. Cold brew coffee and some kind of small breakfast, maybe a cookie or something

3. Do NYT + Apple News Crosswords and some other word games

4. Some combination of watch TikTok, read on my Kindle, 20 minute workout

5. Brush teeth and leave for work between 6:30 and 7:30. Either run or bike commute.

6. At work, do a 30-minute planning session to get ready for the day.

I find it works really well for me. It’s all stuff I like to do. Sometimes I end up doing my workout after work instead of before, but other than that I’m pretty consistent. Once in a while on a weekend or holiday, I’ll do no alarm and will sleep until sometime between 5:30 and 7:30AM.

My 30-minute planning session is based on the book Work Clean by Dan Charnas. Really great way for me to prioritize and have a clear plan for what I want to accomplish on a given day. The most interesting thing I’ve found with this is that there’s some days that just feel overwhelming before I plan. And then once my plan is written down nearly everytime it’s like, “Huh, that doesn’t seem too bad.”

This kind of showboating in 1996 is what allowed him to achieve his professional goal—-to be the modern voice of archaic Cartesian dualism.

There actual is no hard problem. Ask neuroscientist “What is the hard problem” and you will get blank stares. They just do not know, or like me, do not care. It is a muddy residue of Cartesian dualism. Boring.
Unrelated but for benchmarks like these you can just ask the kernel for how many clock cycles you’ve used using proc_pid_rusage rather than hardcoding it.
The history of greetings currently used in certain cultures rather proves the point that such things are dependent on culture and history.

I also doubt it was ever purely astronomical. Holidays would have happened because a lot of normal activity would have slowed or stopped in pre-industrial societies, and celebrations would have depended on what their traditions and beliefs about the significance of the solstice was.

Somewhere between ~3/day and ~0.3/day, depending what you count. Close enough.
> by software not written by OS vendors.

In an ideal world, I'd prefer that to.

In the practical one we're living in, this would mean that almost no website would implement them, because almost no user would be capable of using them.

As much as I dislike the platform lock-in consequences, bootstrapping a two-sided network is incredibly hard and usually does not succeed without something aggressively pushed onto users (e.g. by preinstalling and preselecting it) to kickstart things. In the best case, this is then quickly replaced by user choice, and that's what has fortunately happened for passkeys.

> the TPM chip in the user's phone should be usable by any app on that phone, not just by the OS vendor.

Do you mean TPM as a generic term for a hardened secure element/enclave? Unfortunately, these are not standardized at this point (actual TPMs are, but these are a PC thing).

And what would be the point? I could see secure enclaves/elements implementing CTAP2 instead of a proprietary interface, but I don't really see the benefits of that. The much more important thing would be that all applications on the OS can access that implementation through some API, and that would reasonably be the "FIDO backend" APIs both iOS and Android already provide.
not an American, but it seems to me that the reason is purely ideological. They like a small state, especially the federal government. This would give too much power to the government. The idea of federal government providing care for citizens is not acceptable to people.

Now, weird thing is this doesn't work for the military somehow.
By the time you get into higher frequency circuits I would think you would already understand exactly where the hydraulic analogy breaks down. Most grade school students aren’t doing any kind of extremely high frequency work, let alone even basic 60hz work.
Wake up, start the coffee maker, brush my teeth, use the restroom, and then enjoy my coffee til 9 where I start my remote day. I wake up at 8 and start work at 9.

I used to have desires for an extensive, productive morning routine, but now I get everything out of this that I want and plenty of sleep.
A design that works by default isn't automatically better either though. You have to look at the details.

> I guess one might be tempted to forgive a few warts in the interface layers

... well, yeah, that's exactly my sentiment about kqueue here. What you're talking about is basically a small wart that no one's bothered to address because it's inconsequential.
And in what way are they then selling that data (which is what the person I replied to talked about)? Just the fact that the data is being sent to a server doesn't mean much. Tons of modern products relies on literally recording your data and sending it off to a server.
I spent about two years in early development of a "Zombocom" product and one question on my mind was "Whatever happened to Lotus Notes?" Superficially it seems the time is right for a rapid development platform for web apps based on an object database with synchronization support. I was sharply divided about the role of email in such a product:

I became a qmail fanatic around 1999 and enjoyed running a smart mail server but as we got into the early 2000's I experienced a series of crises involving worms, viruses, malware, spam, deliverability and such. Today I want nothing to do with running a mail server! It's not a problem where you can just invest once and it is done but instead it is like one of those service games.

I like the idea of email as a paradigm for asynchronous workflows, and if you're doing business by email (as in CRM) it is useful. On the other hand today the email market is pretty tied up with the likes of Gmail and Outlook
> Pop the SIM card into another phone. Call people on the contacts until they found someone who recognized the number.

So no PIN on the SIM and contacts stored inside the SIM? I wonder on which percentage of the victims it worked.
The OP starts with this paragraph:

> A new scientific study published in the journal Foresight concludes that human civilisation is on the brink of the next ‘giant leap’ in evolution. However, progress could be thwarted by centralised far-right political projects such as the incoming Donald Trump administration.

OK, so I looked up the author and the journal. The author is this guy: https://www.nafeezahmed.net/about. His "study" was published by a group called "Emerald Publishing" run by a bunch of accountants and investment bankers: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/our-leadership-team

The ideas are kinda interesting, but nothing about this is "scientific."
In star trek they have lcars, we don't do it that way, each thing needs to be perfectly matching what the UX person says.

I do see a future where the "ai" (agi or llm) decides what the UI looks like entirely.

There will be more no-code products entirely driven by LLMs in 2025 that entirely build front-ends and backends but give you non-customizable solutions.
Managing heat with purely radiators (i.e. no need to dump hot matter into space to lose it forever) is… challenging at scales required. Not saying it can’t be done, but it’s a long shot.
I very much agree - it has the advantage of not being an electrically shared medium however, which is one of the things that made it superior to 10Base2 or 10Base5

Lenovo builds a very wide range of laptops and this one is just pirating the ThinkPad moniker severely harming the Thinkpad brand name's reputation.
A real Thinkpad by default needs to have a trackpoint to be considered one. If it doesn't have a trackpoint it's not a Thinkpad.
Just ignore this and keep to the real Thinkpads.
I believe the throughput shown in those tables is the total throughput for the whole CPU core, so it isn't immediately obvious which instructions have high throughput due to pipelining within an execution unit and which have high throughput due just to the core having several execution units capable of handling that instruction.
I failed many job interviews because of HackerRank's and others' web-based IDE.

Do you mean I can run HackerRank without opening my browser? I didn't see this described in the invitation email I received or the interview URL I clicked.
Do you feel like your comment is responding to mine in good faith and using the strongest plausible interpretation? Because it sure feels like you intentionally "misunderstood" it.

Obviously the intention is not "to not improve user privacy at all" but to give companies and users the agency to make their own choices. Many companies seems to chose "user inconvenience" over "user privacy", and it now makes it clear what companies made that choice. This is the intention of the directive.

My Time Machine server doesn’t run an Apple OS. Someone would have to compromise my laptop and then pivot to separately attack my NAS. A state level actor could probably do that. The people running spray-and-pray ransomware ops almost surely couldn’t, or at least wouldn’t bother.

> It can be a decent _heuristic_ for “I probably don’t want to hear from this person”. Like, it’s not bulletproof, but the _cost_ of a false positive is low. I think “follows Trump” would be a not-great heuristic, for the reason you mention, but, say, ‘follows libsoftiktok’ is probably a good heuristic for filtering out arseholes.

I feel you're calling something a good heuristic based solely on how predictive it is, and not considering the impacts of using that heuristic. A property tax based on the number of windows in a house[0] may have acceptably low false positives, but encourages people to brick up their windows.

Here it makes follows performative rather than just about what I'm interested in seeing on my timeline, since I'd now be hesitant to follow content that doesn't align with my views. In addition, everyone on the site being discouraged from receiving content from outside their bubble seems likely to exacerbate echo chambers.

> The ACA mandates that at least 80% of premiums must go towards medical expenses.

This is not precisely accurate. The medical loss ratio (80% for individual plans) can also be spent on quality improvement. There is a blurry line between administrative costs and QI initiatives. For example, a plan-provided coordinator could be QI rather than administrative.
> You literally don't leak memory in safe rust, that is kinda of the whole point.

That's a common misconception. Safe Rust prevents use-after-free, double-free, accessing uninitialized memory, (an extremely constrained form of) data races, and a number of other things. It doesn't give a rip about leaks beyond a best effort. Leaks do not violate memory safety.

Part of the reason it doesn't care is because it's hard to infer your intent. A common class of bug is accidentally boxing a reference to something you'd like to drop (this and similar flaws afflicted Actix till at least the 3.0 release). Rust confirms you don't have UAF and that you don't drop the data before you're done with it, but by accidentally writing it so that it lives nearly forever that drop is never executed.

Rust, similarly, makes no guarantees about drop's behavior at any point in time (other than that it won't be executed to soon and should usually attempt to be executed eventually), but definitely not near program shutdown or similar. It's especially dangerous because a huge fraction of programs run correctly regardless most of the time.
Wake up. Feed the dog. Make coffee. Take the dog for a walk (~30 minutes), usually put on a podcast.

Check my calendar so I have an idea what my schedule looks like for the day, especially looking for start-of-day meetings. Start "spinning up" in my head. Shower & clean up, dress for the day.

If I have spare time before my workday starts I'll usually spend it catching up on personal email or checking the news. I very specifically avoid "fun traps" in the morning, no personal projects, books I may be hooked on, entertainment media, or engagement based platforms I might loose time to.

At the end of the day I cap it off with a proper workout and another walk with the pip. I find having a semi-enforced schedule to actually leave the house at the beginning and end of the day give me good mental touchstones to know when I should/shouldn't be working. I still find myself occasionally picking at something in the evening, but at least when I do I'm making an explicit choice to _go back to work_.

> Why don’t you change it?

Who do you think should change it, exactly?

You’re making the classic mistake of assuming the US works like the average European country: a functioning democracy where if something makes sense, politicians will promise it in their manifestos, and then implement it once they get elected.

In reality the US works completely differently and is not a functioning democracy. Making any major reform in any area is, to a first approximation, impossible.
Clark County School District recently signed a $5 million contract with a different AI “Weapon Detection System”. There is no way any of them are real is there?

Edit: CCSD uses Remark. Maybe their AI actually knows what a person walking with a gun somewhere on their body looks like in all situations and for all skin colors.
Denying care is the default state. It's the basis of the Hippocratic Oath, "First, do no harm." I.e. the determination of whether a treatment is beneficial is made by comparing it to doing nothing.
It would be nice to have better screening tools, but that doesn’t mean a company should get to lie about what their products are capable of and how they work.

Ironically, millimeter wave imagers, that are legitimately capable of finding hidden weapons pretty much anywhere, isn’t deployed outside airports because of the cost and the huge backlash that anything that has the resolution to accurately distinguish a gun can also image your private parts quite well. Evolv wants you to think they can have comparable accuracy with higher throughput and lower cost, but I’ll bet every airport in the country would have them if those claims were true. So instead Evolv preys on nervous leaders who want some protection in large public gatherings but aren’t knowledgeable about security.

You can negotiate all you want but ultimately the productivity improvements have to come from providers (hospitals, pharmaceutical companies) if you want to lower costs.

EDIT: Adrian_B’s sibling comment has even earlier historical examples that illustrate how architecture ideas are as old as the hills.

There are good historical hardware architecture textbooks: Peter Kogge’s “The Architecture of Pipelined Computers” (‘81) mentions that the UNIVAC 1 pipelined IO (from which dedicated IO units sprung out), the IBM 7094 similarly interleaved multiple-state memory access cycles between multiple memory units to increase throughput, and then the IBM STRETCH had a two-part fetch-execute without attempt to address hazards.

So pipelining came out the ad-hoc application of the patterns of interleaving and hiving off functionality to dedicated units. In general, a lot of hardware architecture ideas cropped up very early in big iron, with microcoding even co-existing with them, without all of the extra full ideas being worked out (e.g. forwarding, hazard resolution of all types, etc.)

There’s a whole fun universe of vintage hardware architecture textbooks that get through the essential concepts through historical big iron, if you’re willing to look beyond Hennessy and Patterson and Shen and Lipasti! I am thinking that the latter might have references to other historical textbooks on pipelining, though. “The Anatomy of a High-Performance Microprocessor”, a pedagogical deep-dive into the design of the AMD K6 uarch (up to detailed algorithms and HDL!), will have good references to historical textbooks too since these authors were trained before the crop of “modern” (microprocessor-era) textbooks.
