Forced? I'm not sure I understand.

My guess is that you're assuming, wrongly, that vendor locked devices are "safe" and unlocked devices are "unsafe".

All computers that are connected to the internet are unsafe in some ways. The most dangerous apps on your computer are the vendor's own built-in web browser and messaging app.

Also, the vendor-controlled software stores are unsafe cesspools. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Moreover, the vendors deliberately make it impossible for you to protect yourself. For example, iOS makes it difficult or impossible to inspect the file system directly, and you can't install software such as Little Snitch on iOS that stops 3rd party apps—as well as 1st party apps!—from phoning home.

In any case, most computers, including Apple computers, have parental controls and the like, so you can lock down your own device to your heart's content if you don't trust yourself, or you don't trust the family member that you're gifting the device.
Rice grown in Louisiana and Arkansas (i.e., most rice grown in the US) is indeed high in arsenic.

My guess is that the protein powders are made from brown rice or even rice bran and rice germ whereas most rice in the US is eaten as white rice (i.e., rice without bran or germ). I'm guessing that makes a difference.

Also, if you cook rice as if it were pasta (i.e., in much more water than needed, which is then discarded at the end of cooking) as recommended by the USDA, the amount of arsenic is cut in half. The manufacturers of protein powders probably don't bother to process the rice this way (whereas I do when I cook rice).
Which engine? I've never seen an engine that makes UI really eaiser. Actually game studios pay quite some bucks to use HTML5 in games (e.g. Coherent Gameface).
It can make sense. A lot of in-vehicle visualizations in a Rivian are using Unreal.

I agree that Californians should not pay for Montana road maintenance.
First, I'm aware of the origin of the term; but "guy" was taken so I made do.
Second, you don't care, but ... I'm afraid to break the news to you but there are billions of other people on the planet today, including me. I care.

Personally, I don't like the term from my language not only because of the possible reception but also it doesn't feel right to use it.
Sure .. but we're not talking about the UK's colonisation of Australia.
not sure if this perfectly addresses your question, but "Designing Games" by Tynan Sylvester is a great resource
The Seattle / UW related branch of MSR definitely had a few wins in the graphics department.

As https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/meteoric-rise-... reminded me, they were on like 20% of the SIGGRAPH papers in 1996. And several have stood the test of time, like Hugues's Progressive Meshes paper (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/237170.237216). A little later, the spherical harmonics paper (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/566570.566612) was basically all MSR (I think Jan maybe interned there while at MPI? It's been a long time...).

That isn't to defend anything in AI, but it's not the case that they had no impact. The oral history thing there claims that the first grammar checking in Office 97 came from their NLP work.
How is it a failure of government? The people of these areas reasonably have not wanted spend large amounts of their money to prevent unusual disasters like this one. Do you spend that in your community?
Yes, I did miss the fact that I was not responding to the person I originally asked that question to, my bad there.

But - I'm merely sharing something I think people will be interested in (and have shown interest in here in the past). If people are, indeed interested, the post gains traction and sticks around, if not, the post gets buried in obscurity. That is the beauty of this democratic process here.
I think the Hmong are still mad about being made out to look like idiots
Perhaps a higher likelihood but also a lower cost to the individual. You presumably work for a competitive salary. When you lose funding you presumably jump employers for a comparable position.

In comparison, most PhD students work for a very low salary on the expectation of a payoff after something like 3 to 6 years. Framed that way, being forced to either start over or depart is incredibly costly.
How effective is fire-hardening in these conditions? And how much would it cost? And finally, does anyone know how fire-hardened structures have actually performed?

Yes, you as a Californian should not have to pay for Montana state programs/subsidies.
Pip is sort of broken before because it encourages confusion between requirements and lock files. In other languages with package managers you generally specify your requirements with ranges and get a lock file with exact versions of those and any transitive dependencies letting you easily recreate a known working environment. The only way to do that in pip is to make a *new* venue install then pip freeze. I think pip tools package is supposed to help but it's a separate tool (one which I've also includes).
Also putting stuff in pyproject.toml feels more solid then requirements files (and allows options to be set on requirements (like installing only one package that's only on your company's private python package index mirror while installing the others from the global python package index) and allows dev dependencies and other optional features dependency groups without multiple requirements files and having to update locks on those files.

It also automatically creates venvs if you delete them. And it automatically updates packages when you run something with uv run file.py (useful when somebody may have updated the requirements in git). It also lets you install self contained (installed in a virtualenv and linked to ~/.local/bin which is added to your path)python tools (replacing pipx). It installs self contained python builds letting you more easily pick python version and specify it in a .python-version file for your project (replacing pyenv and usually much nicer because pyenv compiles them locally)

Uv also makes it easier to explore and say start a ipython shell with 2 libraries
uv run --with ipython --with colorful --with https ipython

It caches downloads. Of course the http itself isn't faster but they're exploring things to speed that part up and since it's written in rust local stuff (like deleting and recreating a venv with cached packages) tends to be blazing fast
> You’re kidding, right? You seem to have completely forgotten, or put the drunk glasses, on what living in the 2000s was like.

Again, citation needed. I made it through the 2000s just fine, thank you.

> What a stereotypical HN comment. Cite something that only applied to the 2nd generation of consoles to prove me wrong, even though my point spans almost all console generations.

No, I was explaining the historical origin of the game console business model. Of course the business model continued, as these things usually do, through a combination of monetary incentives and inertia.
I am not talking about exposure to the lay public, which is a different problem, but tricks sold on the inside.
A magician with low ethics can take a pre-existing idea or presentation, tweak it or change the method, and sell it as their own. It's bad, but it is legal. An example of that would be the work Teller had to do to protect his shadow rose effect.
Meanwhile, someone wanting to play by the rule might not publish a significant improvement on a 1945 idea that is now out of print, because they could not acquire the rights from the, long deceased, original author.
The typical CDM response to this is "What about the Bullet Cluster?" (Gravitational lensing not correlated with visible mass). What is your thought on that? I think a convincing answer there would go a long way towards convincing people. I believe Milgrom's speculation is undetected matter.
The drivers are fine for GPU accelerated rendering of the app surfaces, even on the Pi. Hell, the drivers are even there >98% of the time for accelerated decode of the video format itself to boot.

Qube's unique choice in software only rendering for user applications is one born out of the isolation goals for security, not what the software/drivers/hardware could do.
The article is from 2021.
On the other hand it might become a next level of abstraction.

Machine -> Asm -> C -> Python -> LLM (Human language)

It compiles human prompt into some intermediate code (in this case Python). Probably initial version of CPython was not perfect at all, and engineers were also terrified. If we are lucky this new "compiler" will be becoming better and better, more efficient. Never perfect, but people will be paying the same price they are already paying for not dealing directly with ASM.
Funny how the internet turned what used to be the “village fool” — the guy everyone ignored when he rambled about nonsense and conspiracies — into a global phenomenon.

Now, instead of fading into the background, they find each other online, amplify the noise, and suddenly the whole world has to deal with it.

The same tools that connected people for good also made it easier to spread misinformation at scale.
You are drawing a false equivalence and being willfully obtuse. It's clear and obvious that the conventional sense of the term refers to technology like lasers and microwave. Please don't try to split hairs over semantics. Unless you are one of the spiritual nuts who claim "we are all creatures of energy" just because of the mass energy equivalence. Unless you are building a nuke in your kitchen, there's a clear difference in meaning in the conventional usage of the term "kinetic" weapon and "direct energy" weapon.

I've always wanted to switch to qubes, but it just feels so constraining. It's safer to never leave the house, but I don't want to live in a self imposed prison. On the other hand, the isolation provided by containers and flatpak is more accessible, but with a much larger attack vector.

Maybe we need immutable OS + an audit layer on anything that could allow exploits to persist (bashrc and the likes).
Let me clarify .. if you have an unlocked device, then software vendors should be able to ensure that their software is non-functional on such a device.

Given that, then anything very useful would be rendered non-functional, resulting in the device probably being useless.
Unfortunately the article doesn't suggest any alternatives. Cargo culting is a term known to most, so it's a pragmatic word choice when wishing to convey that particular idea.

Incidentally, we had a 10 minute meeting to 80 staff where someone tried to explain that we ought not use the word 'guys' on grounds that it could feel exclusive to some. Thankfully, it was pointed out that the literal definition of guys is: [Informal] Persons of either sex [0], which is what most perceive it to be. I don't think anyone's behaviour was changed as a result, but the seemingly trifling disruption did irritate a fair few people, and it was 10 minutes we never got back.

My team tries to stay on top of code reviews as they come in, but this has been the practice as a very small team that has worked together over the course of three years. Generally we trust that each developer is running automated tests, manually testing and refining in a local deployment, and has the right context and knowledge for what they're changing. I can have code reviews open for hours or days, but it's a red flag if it's more than a few days.

However, we're onboarding a lot of newer developers and actively trying to slow this pace now. CRs need a lot more scrutiny in this case.
Environment and dependency management in JS-land is even worse.

Similar problems with runtime version management (need to use nvm for sanity, using built-in OS package managers seems to consistently result in tears).

More package managers and interactions (corepack, npm, pnpm, yarn, bun).

Bad package interop (ESM vs CJS vs UMD).

More runtimes (Node, Deno, Bun, Edge).

Then compound this all with the fact that JS doesn't have a comprehensive stdlib so your average project has literally 1000s of dependencies.

I addressed that in a sibling comment but to phrase my answer in a different way - your choice is between escalation, de-escalation, or stepping away. Escalation doesn't make anything better apart from providing a moment of catharsis, so if you choose to engage then you could try to understand the other person's point of view and where their unreasonable behaviour comes from. Some people are irredeemably unreasonable; those ones you step away from. Many others however were already feeling unheard and upset before they met you, and they brought that into the conversation.

For an example - if you're familiar with The Expanse (great scifi if you like that sort of thing), then imagine you're a belter living on an asteroid, and for your whole life you've been called a 'skinny' by planet-dwelling types in a derogatory reference to your low-gravity physique, then one day someone calls you that without realising what it means except that's a common nickname for belters. The reasonable response from you would be to politely ask them not to, and explain why. The more likely response is one of anger at the insult, even if the other party intended no such insult. You're behaving in an apparently unreasonable way, but based on a lifetime of experience. The other person could return the hostility, then everyone is unhappy. Or they could respond with compassion, and the outcome would likely be much better for both of you.
Of course. As we all know here, any business that gets started will go on forever regardless of market fit.
I'm not criticizing the content of the post, but it feels like it was written by a LLM. Does anyone else notice that? It screams it to me.
VRAM bandwidth is over 1TB/s. And it's still a huge bottleneck for neural network inference.
I’m entertained at the notion of Diamond’s book refuting an idea popularized by Feynman. I’m convinced that they both make shit up. Feynman’s book wasn’t written by Feynman, but by a guy who heard Feynman’s stories years before, and Diamond’s book Guns Germs and Steel references many “facts” with zero citations that on further inspection turn out to be unsupported. Bullshit artist vs bullshit artist, basically.
Your comment history shows an interesting pattern
Godot uses their own engine features for the GUI of the editor itself as you’d use to make a game itself with.

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/about/list_of_feature...

> Godot's GUI is built using the same Control nodes used to make games in Godot. The editor UI can easily be extended in many ways using add-ons.

And they even go as far as to explicitly say the following:

> Godot's small distribution size can make it a suitable alternative to frameworks like Electron or Qt.

I’ve only used Godot for game development, not GUI stuff yet. (The game I started making doesn’t have any menus, I’m working on gameplay and level design first.) But I’m personally keeping a mental note in the back of my mind to investigate building bona fide desktop applications with Godot also, and not just games.

Also, if you’re going to make an application instead of a game, they have a special mode they recommend that you use:

> When creating a non-game application, make sure to enable low-processor mode in the Project Settings to decrease CPU and GPU usage.

How might that work? You personally have the keys to the TPM? Then some confidence trickster will tell a naive user that to make big$buck$ on the internet you'll need to handover your TPM key. And people will.
Wasn’t NHS data anonymised, split into sets and sold a decade ago, then some corp bought multiple sets of the data and combined them easily, de-anonymising it?
Look at the apps you encounter, on your desktop, at work or at service counters (points of sale, terminals at work) etc. These can certainly use aesthetic design, but dynamic flashy stuff would be irritating for the user.

However, you could use game engines for interactive exhibits and demos.
That’s insane they thought a more expensive tablet was a market as opposed to a stand alone tablet.

The remote viewing is coming back though. PlayStation Portal comes to mind which is just a remote controller and screen for a PS5. It’s considerably cheaper than the full device, of course, because that would be insane if it weren’t, _Microsoft_
This is an amazing idea. I’ve been thinking a lot about how smart devices have changed the way we think and interact, reading books like Alone Together and other things from Sherry Turkle’s oeuvre, and remembering how I used to use my computer so differently when I didn’t have instantaneous access to low quality crap 24/7. I think making things desktop-only could be a heuristic that gets us back a lot of the things we lost in the transition to smartphones… definitely deserves more thought.
I guess the technical solution is something like Blind, but I’m not sure about the adoption rate for normal companies. Also I prefer to stay away from that site personally.

Maybe in the US, but not in my country. I tried looking for "signage displays" but all I could find was Samsung professional monitors that still had the smart stuff
It may be, like the "frog slowly boiling" myth, that it's the sort of thing you repeat even knowing that it's not something that actually happens.

> the biggest failure of the internet was sharing it with the unwashed masses, we should have saved it for the (even less washed, if you look to the founders) elites.

...While I agree with the sentiment, I don't agree with the end logic: The sentence implies a top-down administration determining who gets access to the internet, which is something that I will always hate with a passion.

Personally, I'm more in favor with a self-segregation model, where I can have a private intranet with myself & anyone else I choose to share with. I already do so with Tailscale's private domains.
Now how do I add another WAD file to this. Someone needs to play sigil on this.
Agree. This reminded me that I am talking about mac and forgotten about PC. I have a 2018 Thinkpad ( which uses KabyLake, a 2016 CPU ) at work for specific usage and it is absolutely piece of crap. Not only is the Fan constantly spinning, all the security extra due to policy and requirement making it absurdly slow. It is also another reminder, hardware cant out innovate software performance issues.
My grandpa has MSN as an ISP and would dial in using a fully featured, very blue windowed program that had everything Internet in it. I remember thinking it was pretty cool.

> I am happy my iPhone doesn't allow Meta to say "to use WhatsApp, you must install the MetaStore®, give it root and install it from there". I would not be happy with those restrictions on my desktop.

You fix that by making root access inconvenient enough that companies can't rely on the average random user having it enabled.

For example force you to wipe the device to unlock it as another person said in another comment. Or make it so that if you don't unlock it within 7 days of the device purchase and first boot, you cannot unlock it anymore.
My guess is there would be a strong selection against impulsive non-experts. That’s on my “No-MacGyver” list with garage door springs and AC unit capacitors .
Transistors were invented by the US as well, but then we got outpaced by Taiwan. Does that mean we should stop buying from TSMC as well?
The reality is Google's peak messaging days were 2016-2019. When you could send/receive text messages from your Gmail inbox alongside Google's native chat platform. Also, all of your chats were backed up and searchable by Gmail (which was actually good at the time).

Having RCS is nice, but I always said the deep integration of SMS into gmails platform was a big competitive advantage and was something that kept me firmly in the ecosystem for years.

I've been online since 89. Absolutely nothing has really changed just the number of people involved. Most people are cool some are fucked up & now a lot are puppet accounts trying to control the narrative of whatever the current zeitgeist is at the time. But thats whats so great about the global networks it can't be controlled. The best "they" (agents) can do is to get a large amount of people to believe bullshit PR spin. Shit like the internet isn't a friendly place. It's whatever you want it to be, it's all in how you engage with people & groups online. The same applies as when you walk out your door.
> We don't just need root access, we need undetectable root access.

At some point the argument morphs from 'I should be able to do whatever I want with my device' to 'I should be able to access your service/device with whatever I want'.

The fact that Google allows this shows that

1. Apple could do it with zero security impact on anyone who doesn't opt in

2. They could keep any service-based profit source intact

But they still would never do it. Because it's not only service based profit they want to protect. They want to restrict customers from running competitor's software on their hardware, to ensure they get their cut.
That he's anti-establishment or anti-west, exactly the type of person who would make such a comment? I'm not sure how that's supposed to be an interesting observation.

My mother is a retired meteorogists. She remember that in her time they made the forecasts with maps (of paper) and pencils. And she says that now most of that work is done by the computer. She still goes to the national metheorologial office where they share some of the data (satelite images, rain detectd by radar, computer predictions, ...) and she sometimes give us a personalied forecast. There is a lot of info online if you want to try.
