Possibly those with real abilities have the discipline to not publicise it in videos.

Also, in experience with self-organized volunteer organizations in different fields (not militias, etc.), the lack of discipline, organization, motivation, just basic thought is often shocking. The dysfunction can be overwhelming. I'm not surprised that very few have developed real capabilities.

> Navy SEAL/Delta-level

Maybe you didn't mean it literally, but that is a pretty high standard. It's like asking why you don't see local basketball players with NBA-level ability. 99.x% of military personnel, with years of training and experience, don't reach those levels.
I think they just nailed it
Beyond elements of nuance and emphasis I don't disagree with anything you've said. For instance, I completely agree with the philosophy of localism and federalism and "de-powering the sails" that you lay out. (And yes, the House of Representatives should be scaled!) At the present moment I just... Prioritize de-powering corporations over government, because if we do it the other way around there will be nothing restraining the further concentration of power in, and the further corruption of government / society at, their hands.

Where I think we part company is in our assessments of the current American "left" and "right" parties. I see more energy towards de-centralization (both corporate and governmental) in some younger politicians within the Democratic party, and a firm intent to increase corporate power within the GOP.

But, it gives me hope to see so much substantive agreement with someone who's chosen to vote the other way, and I genuinely hope that I've misjudged the incoming administration. If it all works out as you believe it will, then I'll be happy to have been wrong. Thanks again.
That is pretty much their history

>The first coffeehouses appeared in Damascus. These Ottoman coffeehouses also appeared in Mecca, in the Arabian Peninsula in the 15th century, then spread to the Ottoman Empire's capital of Istanbul in the 16th century and in Baghdad. Coffeehouses became popular meeting places where people gathered to drink coffee, have conversations, play board games such as chess and backgammon, listen to stories and music, and discuss news and politics. They became known as "schools of wisdom" for the type of clientele they attracted, and their free and frank discourse.

Binary Ninja has an AI integration called side kick, it has a free trial but I'm not sure it can be used in the free web version. [1]

In my experience, the off the shelf LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT) do a pretty poor job with assembly, they can not reason about the stack or stack frames well.

I think your job will be the same with or without AI. Figuring out the data structures and data types a function is operating on and naming variables.

What are you reverse engineering for? For example, getting a full compilable decompilation has different goals than finding vulnerabilities or patching a bug.

Your points 1-3 are genuinely the best good-faith explanation I've seen of how the "I saw a targeted advert based on something I said with my phone in earshot" thing might happen without it being a deliberate conspiracy between multiple parties.

I still doubt it's actually happening, but I'm not ready to 100% rule out that sequence of events.

>what's the free and open source version of this tool?

PowerToys is Free and Open Source, and has at minimum an image resizer utility. It's a good starting point for adding on richer functionality like a preview GUI, and I'm sure that the basic video and audio manipulation would be appreciated as additions. Also since it's a Microsoft sponsored project, I imagine that the signing process is drastically different than what OP has experienced.

I know that's really not satisfying to say that "someday we could have this in the FOSS space", but everything starts somewhere.

Though editors like Shotcut and KDENLive are considered non linear since you can layer on different effects, while OP's utility is definitely not that.
Isn’t it convenient how the last people to be hurt by austerity are the ones arguing for it? Crazy how that works, not predictable in any way.

Isn't that pretty obvious? It's literally the French word for coffee.

There's a much broader problem here: unnecessary background checks. If you're applying for a job or to rent an apartment it absolutely shouldn't matter that you vandalized something 15 years earlier.

It's likely automated systems building up these profiles too so what if you happen to just have the same name as someone who was convicted of something in a news article?
This is exactly the same file as the original post.
If you take a McLuhanistic perspective on the internet, then the internet is the nervous system of the human world. It's a medium through which information flows at unprecedented speeds (with major consequences worldwide). The nervous system is still new, and with new nervous system growth come weird sensations (pain, tingles, false alarms, weird flashes of joy).

It needs to adapt for a few more centuries.

Most of the things said on the internet are shared to be forgotten seconds later; Information has a half-life. And in a fast medium? That half life can be seconds or minutes.

It doesn't matter too much.

Sure, then blackmail is also just a verbal agreement between two private citizens.

But on another note, Trump is still fantasizing that he won 2020. So my question is, what would have been the recourse if Pence went along with the fake elector scheme. How would Trump have been removed from office?
> Sodium citrate is already in citrus

Citric acid is in the citrus. You're making sodium citrate when you add baking soda.

I keep citric acid around for cooking and adjust water pH for plants since SF water is so alkaline, so I just make it from that.

For x grams of sodium citrate desired, mix 0.744x grams citric acid and 0.976x grams sodium bicarbonate in enough water to dissolve. Stir until reaction stops. Boil off water if desired.

You need 2-3g of sodium citrate for every 100g of cheese.

An interesting thing about that compartmentalization approach is that it would open a company that implemented it up to much more severe problems.

If your organization structure allows a tiny number of people to modify your deployed products in that way, the same tricks could be used by agents of foreign powers to inject government spyware.

That's a threat that companies the size of Apple need to be very cognizant of. If I was designing build processes at a company like that I'd be much more concerned about avoiding ways for a tiny group to mess with the build, as opposed to designing in processes like that just so I could do something creepy with the ad targeting.

That's true. A web property is under no legal or regulatory obligation to ensure you can login with your preferred method or endpoint configuration. This does not apply only to passkeys of course, the web property can always dictate CIAM terms to users.

I'd say contact the FTC about this, but I'm unsure how helpful they will be for the next four years.

I remember when PistonMiner finished the fix and executed it on the "flight model". They were quite literally jumping up and down in happiness and the whole Chair of Space Technology at TU Berlin was gossipping about it in the hallways :) Amazing hack, absolute hats off to them. By the way, this is their bachelor's thesis.

We have used the vtable trick many times in satellite software operations, whenever we had to "quickly patch" this or that function, without having to uplink a whole software update - which as they explain in the talk, is quite an involved process that takes significant time and resources to complete.

Happy to answer or forward any questions about nanosatellites, software in space, etc!

P.S.: it looks there is a bit of a mix-up with the audio of the recorded talks. The default audio track contains a Polish dubbing.

And wasting resources too. We’ve peaked as a species.
Yeah that's a reasonable conclusion. The way we can take information in at a subconscious level and extrapolate from it I find remarkable. Maybe the extent of that capability could be tested. I also have heard that physicists may now think retro causality is real. That seems a bit far fetched to me, but I imagine that would be testable. The ancient Greeks belived it was possible to see the future in dreams, and shamans in prehistoric times tried to predict where herds of animals would be. A present-monition rather than a premonition lol. But even complex animal behaviours can be estimated. Shamans wore Animal headdresses to 'think' as those animals would.

I’m afraid it will be something like that…
It's fact that it's possible, the question is just if Google is doing it. I know some apps that have been proven to track mouse movement to identify users and prevent botting. They want to identify users because it's against ToS to have multiple accounts and also to prevent banned users from making new accounts. Tracking mouse movement is extremely accurate way to uniquely identify users. Google would have no problems doing this if they wanted to, the question is just if they are doing that. I think it would be coping to say they aren't but that's my opinion based on my perspective on big tech and google.

Most of those places want you to order coffee, preferably with friends (more people per one table) drink it in some reasonable amount of time (<30 minutes), and then leave the table to the next group of guests.

A few laptopers hogging a table for half a day in an otherwise crowded coffeeshop can costs them hundreds of euros/dollars in lost sales.

But i guess this creates a maket for shared workespaces, where you could lease a desk per hour.

Since it's in the very early stages, that's what I'm missing here:

- The rationale. What is the problem, and why a new language solves the problem better than the existing ones. Are there killer features?

- The main motifs of the language. There is a bunch of known ways to build a language; which are followed, and what are new ideas, if any? (Packaging well-known ideas well is totally OK.) In particular, approaches to mutability, purity, type system, classes/objects, async, parallel, safety (lifetimes, UB, etc), resource control (GC, RC, RTTI, etc).

- Modularity within the language, and interaction with third-party libraries (e.g. FFI).

- The target(s): native code generation, a VM, WASM, JS, transpiling through C, etc.

After that, specific language features and syntax niceties become much easier to reason about.
I disagree. I found the review useful.

Hey my name is Matt.

I've done front end for years and years, I've done a bit of everything, I know everyone's hyped about React now but I really loved working with native Web Components and the Lit library, I'd love a chance to do that again. I've also been wanting to get back into fullstack dev - I used to sling around a fair amount of PHP+MySQL, mostly for WordPress purposes back in the day, and it'd be fun to slide into a position that would allow me to brush up on those skills.

Mostly, I just want to do cool work with a cool team of people. If you've got something along those lines on offer, I'd love to hear from you!

I don’t know what you mean by “forward” because there is no difference between these two:

img.onload = function() {…}
img.src = “some url”

img.load(“some url”, function() {…})

The early JavaScript APIs use the first style, but the result is the same.
>If that was the case, then Android would have bigger share in developed countries.

How does that follow? I'm saying people buy Apple products for their premium hardware, which rich consumers are more likely to do across all categories. If software mattered, Apple would be losing customers across the board because people spend more and more time in non-Apple software. It's the exact opposite of my claim.

>* - 34% desktop share and 15% worldwide.

I don't think you even understood what I said to be frank, I didn't argue Apple's marketshare, we are talking about where the value in their poduct is, I didn't argue that people dislike their products.
I enjoy Noita, and interesting games like it, but I wouldn't describe it as "magical". Indies certainly are more enjoyable to play, but very few evoke that same feeling of awe like when you first experienced Doom or Mario 64 in the 90s. In a way I pity newer generations that have grown up in a digitally overstimulated world and missed the era when technology truly felt magical.

The only game that triggered this feeling for me in the past ~decade was Breath of the Wild. Many other games are fun and enjoyable, but very few have that same magic. Whereas in the 90s this was much more common.

I do concede that growing old could be part of the reason for losing that feeling, but I also think that the oversaturated market and lack of technical constraints play a role.
Okay, but I don't have that problem with passwords. So passwords have an enormous advantage over Passkeys, in that they don't allow the service to dictate what I can do with my own data.
A lot of things are happening now that happened before. That doesn't mean things don't improve. Increased efficiency is the issue now. In 2017, maybe some simple algorithms, or a person, was intervening to drive ads, now AI is a big step change in better targeting.

That was one of the points in the book. in 2017 or before, a surveillance state was limited by the number of people it takes to do the actual surveillance . Now AI increases the efficiency.

> the prisoners should be paid at least minimum wage so we don't have the state to pay to lock people up and then some private corporation to profit off slave labor.

Minimum wage is supposed to cover sustainable food, shelter, clothing and other basic physical needs (leaving aside the question whether it really does, it is the intent). The prisoner has these basic physical needs already taken care of. Therefore, it makes no sense to pay both prisoner and a free low-wage worker the same. Moreover, if it were the situation, the very next day every paper would have a headline "Workers are being paid prisoner wages - outrage!"

However, if the prisoners are allowed to work for commercial for-profit companies, the company that benefits from this work should be asked to cover a substantial part of the prisoner's sustenance bill - which also would be to the taxpayer's benefit. Of course, participation in such programs should be strictly voluntary - I imagine prison life is not too fun, so there should be a number of people who would agree to do it even for a relatively very low wage. That said, it could be incentivized e.g. by taking successful work experience into account for parole decisions, etc.
A lot of human activity is exactly this, especially in the realm of marketing, so maybe AI getting trapped in the same nonsense would finally make people understand how stupid and absurd this is.
Sure, and at no point did the author say "look at how this thing solves complex problems for me". They wrote about how they use these tools to build neat side projects that they otherwise wouldn't have time to build. That's worthwhile.
Also true, but that's an advantage to you as a byproduct inherent of the primitive, whereas it is a huge disadvantage to enterprises to have to defend against credential spraying and other forms of attack against simple auth factors such as email/username and password string.

float F = m*a;

Another example:

else:
