It's a bit annoying that yubikeys don't just trigger a hid event or something, as far as i understand the only way to tell is by looking for some obscure log entries.

Apple can charge $$$ for each extra profile:

- earn high margin revenue with low input costs
- save planetary raw materials
- save customer time, energy and space costs
- improve customer security via data segregation
- increase per-device storage revenue

As AI advocates say, more efficiency leads to larger markets.

Ignoring customer needs via artificial inefficiency leads to stagnant growth.

Do the big companies really have a commitment to parts delivery anymore, or are they following the same trend? Took my friend 9 months to get a part for his C8 Corvette when it got rear ended at 5mph. Tons of other GM owners have been waiting months to nearly a year for many common parts for repairs. Selling parts doesn't make these companies money, so why should they care? As long as they're making enough to sell the new cars first.
Glad to see another community working on similar things!

I do not know how RIOT partners with external companies, so I do not know any analysis tools or datasets besides what is publicly available :(

Yeah, that's another advantage. Theoretically you can get down to <1 frame of input latency with an FPGA. I haven't found the latency on a software GBA emulator running on a computer to be noticeable, but some people might find this to be another advantage.

I think with a dedicated emulation handheld (non-FPGA), you could probably pull some tricks to bring down the latency though.

I'd have to analyze my usage. For me, having used it for over a year cost me a penny. If I can ensure my total cost is less than $1/month, I'll consider it if the quality is really good. The Google one is "good enough", but not great.

One other feature I'd really like: Having the AI figure out who is saying what and use different voices (e.g. one voice for overall narrator, and separate voices for each person who is quoted in the article).

Not sure if any of the solutions out there do that automatically without my guidance.

(Still probably wouldn't pay more than $2/mo for it - I just don't use it often enough to justify paying much).

I'm not sure that's a given. Lots of things have reached worldwide adoption and don't have the reputation that Git has. Bash, for example, is quirks and chaos galore, and I don't think even that has the same level of infamy that Git has. In fact, if we use the metric of "snarky XKCD cartoons about this topic", which is probably a good proxy for how popular a tool is vs how many serious problems it creates, Git is up there with Python packaging and regular expressions.

You're right that all tools have their quirks — jj is surely no exception. But it seems like bad engineering and a lack of curiosity to look at the quirks in a tool and not ask if we can do better. How much of a tool's difficulty represents the underlying complexity of the problem it's solving, and how much is just incidental complexity from the tool itself?

In this case, I think the core of Git (the underlying model of commits and refs and objects) does a really good job of being exactly what's necessary and no more, but the UI of Git (i.e. all the commands and surrounding paraphernalia) has a lot of incidental complexity. That is, there are simpler and cleaner ways to represent a lot of the stuff that's happening in Git. This, I think, is why a lot of people struggle with Git — not just because version control is hard (although it is), but because Git as a tool is additionally hard on top of that. And I think it's reasonable to look for better ways of doing version control that don't have as much incidental complexity.
> You can't remotely detect that somebody is training an AI.

Energy use is energy use, training is still incredibly energy intensive and the GPU heat signatures are different from non GPU ones, it fairly trivial to detect large scale GPU usage.

Enforcement is a different problem, and is not specific to AI, if you cannot enforce an agreement it doesn't matter if its AI or nuclear or sarin gas.

Please no. Just do a normal merge instead of destroying history. Having those as separate commits is extremely useful for those of us who actually have had to dig into the history to track down why something is the way it is.

> How to you prevent advancements in software? The barrier to entry is so low, you just need a cheap laptop and an internet connection and then day 1 you're right on the cutting edge driving innovation. Current AI requires a lot of hardware for training but anyone with a laptop and inet connection can still do cutting edge research and innovate with architectures and algorithms.

> If a law is passed saying "AI advancement is illegal" how can it ever be enforced?

Like any other real-life law? Software engineers (a class which I'm a recovering member of) seem to have a pretty common misunderstanding about the law: that it needs to be air tight like secure software, otherwise it's pointless. That's just not true.

So the way you "prevent advancements in [AI] software" is you 1) punish them severely when detected and 2) restrict access to information and specialized hardware to create a barrier (see: nuclear weapons proliferation, "born secret" facts, CSAM).

#1 is sufficient to control all the important legitimate actors in society (e.g. corporations, university researchers), and #2 creates a big barrier to everyone else who may be tempted to not play by the rules.

It won't be perfect (see: the drug war), but it's not like cartel chemists are top-notch, so it doesn't have to be. I don't think the software engineering equivalent of a cartel chemist will be able to "do cutting edge research and innovate with architectures and algorithms" with only a "laptop and inet connection."

Would the technology disappear? No. Will it be pushed to the margins? Yes. Is that enough? Also yes.
Or rather, you're not into "following orders without challenging them first". What the order is, doesn't really matter.
There's nothing to optimize here, neutrinos just interact very very weakly with anything else because they don't carry charge (so no electrical interactions), don't carry color charge (so no nuclear interactions), don't carry weak charge (so no weak force interactions) and have tiny tiny masses, but they are still bosons (so don't act as field carriers like photons do, they're just regular matter). Their low chance of interacting with matter is a fundamental property of them, there's nothing you can do about it through technology, just like you can't create heavier electrons or weaker quarks.
When my grandmother was alive, she would sometimes say things that stuck in my memory. One of the things she told me was that the only thing which really improved since she was young was medicine. She said that while a lot of technologies improved in a scientific sense, it wasn't a net positive because some of the hurdles which technology helped to remove were part of what made life enjoyable, amusing and meaningful.

It think the term "good old days" is not some delusion of the aging mind as the media keeps trying to convince us. As I've watched things getting worse during my own life, I've been getting increasingly confident that things really were better in those old days. I mean, even the kinds of people who existed; they were simpler people, happier people. They lived lives of mystery and serendipity.

Now you basically have to be rich to be happy and you usually have to do bad things to be rich... So it's difficult to find happiness nowadays. IMO, success in life is being both rich and also having a clean conscience; then you can have everything you need, yet still have the ability to look people in the eyes and mean what you say when you speak.
Some people hide their porn from their partner / significant other; I don’t know why people rationalize that, but it’s common enough.
No, it's not. CNE is shockingly effective, both for organized crime and for the international IC. The productivity wins are so great there is enormous space for the market prices of tradable vulnerabilities to increase; maybe even multiple orders of magnitude. We're not going to disrupt that process with bug bounties.

I really think people just like to think about stories where someone like them finds a bug and gets a lottery jackpot as a result. I like that story too! It's fun.

Smart companies running bug bounties --- Google is probably the smartest --- are using them like engineering tools; both to direct attention on specific parts of their codebase, and, just as importantly, as an internal tool to prioritize work. This is part of why we keep having stories where we're shocked about people finding oddball security- and security-adjacent bugs that get zero payouts.
I can't see anything in the article that says the report was the trigger for him being fired. It looks to me he was fired because USAID was disbanded. The report happened to come out at the same time. The (clickbaity?) headline does make to two events seem linked, but typically it would talk months for a bureaucracy to decide a report was so bad the author should be fired.
I've got a question for the Go people, it's not intended to be adversarial:

I have no idea how well it works on iOS, but on Mac it's a sluggish black box api that could otherwise have some potential. There are workarounds, there are some nice components you can put together, but for me it was a little defeating to continue bashing my head against it.
I was thinking the same though. It doesn't interact often, but if it randomly does annihilate with another particle in your body, at such a small scale (subatomic) that force/pressure just destroys anything in its path no? Like a paint flake hitting a space ship. Or is it more like "light" (since they're iirc their own antiparticle), which is then absorbed by surrounding matter and turns into heat?

In the wrong spot, this sounds to me like it kills you?

Nothing to be afraid of, of course, for the reason you mentioned. Just wondering, xkcd "what if" style
i see your point but the analogy doesn't get very far. For example, nuclear weapons were never mass marketed to the public. Nor is it possible to push the bounds of nuclear weapon yield by a private business, university, r/d lab, group of friends, etc.

One problem is that the applications themselves are impure.

Just running KDE litters a bunch of dotfiles into your user folder, even for settings you didn't adjust. This is true for many applications.

If you had an empty home folder and passively tried a handful of desktops, you'd no longer have an empty home folder. Hopefully your environment is resilient to clutter being leaked into your home folder, but if your filesystem isn't truly immutable, rolling back to a particular Nix config might not get you the exact state your system was in when you first built that.

There's a project that wipes all local changes when you restart your machine, with the goal of making Nix systems more reproducible. I think it's called Impermanence.
there's a meme that it has too many keywords, but this criticism is shallow. it also grew a lot of features quickly to prioritize SwiftUI support perhaps with unnecessary language complexity as a result.

I'm an iOS dev full-time now (bootstrapped) and SwiftUI is definitely not production ready if it means that it can be used without needing UIKit introspection hacks. I like it and ship all my work with it, but it is painfully broken and will take years more to mature

Do not confuse memory LCDs with generic reflective LCDs. Memory LCDs are the ones I mention as having lower power usage during refresh, as well as the ones I mention as having higher price than eInk, as well as the ones I mention as not even being available in larger sizes AFAIK.

> Yes, significantly. You have decided it does not and reject all evidence to the contrary.

What evidence? The only thing I have explicitly discarded is PR's "XX% improvement" messaging because it is imprecise and has been wrong in the past. For example, Gallery 3 contrast ratio is around 11.7:1 ( see Table1 of https://confit.atlas.jp/guide/event-img/idw2022/EP1-02/publi... ) , significantly worse than Carta . I cannot find a similar measurement for Carta 1300, so I am at a loss, and since the last published number is 1:15, and reviewers mention the new screens as being _worse_...

> Definitely false. REI will try to sell you the Solar one (for obvious reasons). Best Buy will sell you whichever one you want, but will try to steer people toward cheaper watches like the Forerunner or Instinct that people are more likely to actually buy.

Sigh... What point are you trying to make here? You do not agree that Garmin is pushing the AMOLED ones over the reflective LCD ones? Do you realize the Forerunner and the Instinct series are also AMOLED or getting replaced by AMOLED? You disagree that Garmin 's trend is clearly towards AMOLED? In that case, you should definitely go and extinguish a couple fires happening on the Garmin user communities...

> Which brings us back to this: If transflective LCDs were actually superior to eInk panels for the e-reader use case, why is every ereader company sticking to eink?

Because e-ink is cheaper! I have said it even on my original post: eink is the only one who survives because they're the cheapest one. Plus, I believe, because e-readers are anyway becoming a niche mostly tied to e-ink, and getting utterly displaced by, e.g., phones and tablets in the market.

I did link to a lawyer who was an ethics counsel to a former a former President who disagress with you. You can nitpick however you want and construe whatever meaning you want from the language of existing laws and justify in your mind your point of view. There are even legal experts who foolishly think Presidents ought to enjoy a broad amount of immunity from prosecution. Likewise people can provide legal arguments for why you are wrong.

Whatver the case there is no precedent for what is happening right now. The political norms have been upended and what is being done is contrary to how a large majority of people believe things are supposed to work. A new normal is being established and it is not a good thing. This is very unhealthy for the republic. Congressional power is being greatly limited and Presidential power greatly expanded. This is quite bad.
OK, it sounds like we've reached a useful crux. And, also, much appreciation for having a consistent argument that actually seriously considers the matter and seems to share the premise of "minimize P(doom)" (albeit by different means), rather than dismissing it; thank you. I think your conclusion follows from your premises, and I think your premises are incorrect. It sounds like you agree that my conclusion follows from my premises, and you think my premises are incorrect.

I don't consider the P(destruction of humanity) of stopping larger-than-current-state-of-the-art frontier model training (not all AI) to be higher than that of stopping the enrichment of uranium. (That does lead to conflict, but not the destruction of humanity.) In fact, I would argue that it could potentially be made lower, because enriched uranium is restricted on a hypocritical "we can have it but you can't" basis, while frontier AI training should be restricted on a "we're being extremely transparent about how we're making sure nobody's doing it here either" basis.

(There are also other communication steps that would be useful to take to make that more effective and easier, but those seem likely to be far less controversial.)

If I understand your argument correctly, it sounds like any one of three things would change your mind: either becoming convinced that P(destruction of humanity) from AI is higher than you think it is, or becoming convinced that P(destruction of humanity) from stopping larger-than-current-state-of-the-art frontier model training is lower than you think it is, or becoming convinced that nothing the US is doing is particularly more likely to be aligned (at the "don't destroy humanity" level) than anyone else.

I think all three of those things are, independently, true. I suspect that one notable point of disagreement might be the definition of "destruction of humanity", because I would argue it's much harder to do that with any standard conflict, whereas it's a default outcome of unaligned AGI. (I also think there are many, many, many levers available in international diplomacy before you get to open conflict.)

(And, vice versa, if I agreed that all three of those things were false, I'd agree with your conclusion.)
Normalization implementations must not strip variation selectors by definition. The "normal" part of normalization means to convert a string into either consistently decomposed unicode, or composed unicode. ie U+00DC vs U+0055 + U+0308. However this decomposition mapping is also used (maybe more like abused) for converting certain "legacy" code points to non-legacy code points. There does not exist a rune which decomposes to variant selectors (and thus these variant selectors do not compose into anything) so normalization must not alter or strip them.
