I don't doubt PrivacyGuides but...

> There are lengthy discussions about whether to recommend a tool or not on the Privacy Guides GitHub and their forum

The process doesn't strike me as consensus driven? Mods/team have become gatekeepers (both for persisting with existing recommendations or adding new ones), including aggressively shutting down conversations/threads they personally don't like (I was told, all moderation actions are final, regardless of who on the team does it, even if why they did it doesn't hold water). I imagine, such a rigid setup is in response to prevent bad faith actors (but then, I lose count of how many times team/mods have called others "extremist", using it as a slur, just because ... reasons).

It is hard to definitively prove ulterior motive, but other folks do observe such nefariousness and come to their own conclusions, valid or not, as GP has done.

All that to say, the way it is currently run, "discussions happened" isn't really the defence you think it is.
Twitter and Truth Social are the new state media.

First they doged the government, but I did not speak out because I wasn't a federal employee. Then they doged the media, and I did not speak out because I use Twitter. Then they doged me - and there was no one left to speak for me.
ℝ is mind boggling. Here's a puzzler at a layman+ (high school or freshman) level: Between two reals there's at least one rational number [1], and between two rationals there's at least one real number. So there must be an equal number of them. (You can replace "at least one" with "infinitely many" and it's still true.)

We'll probably get blamed for it anyway, justifying even more tariffs on Canada.
Once the shift to diffusion LLMs starts, it will be swift.

They are much more computationally efficiency and scalable.
That's why I think it's a better challenge. AIs can create generic looking scenes but trying to do something that looks like a unique director style is more interesting.
It used to be that .dlls loaded by the .exe on startup (e.g. implicitly listed there) would get their thread local vars correctly (TLS), but dlls loaded later (like /DELAYLOAD or through LoadLibrary) would not. (the workaround was to initialize these through TlsAlloc/TlsFree, and have hook in DllMain to clean up)

But then Microsoft added /Zc:tlsGuards - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/zc-tls... - which is now the default that fixes the issue, but with some significant performance penalty (e.g. the "bug" that I've listed).

I guess you can't have it both ways easy...

On the clang/clang-cl side, there is https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangCommandLineReference.html#c...

to support this.

So check your compiler version and options :)

Also the notes posted here about CRT mixing might apply to you (not sure though) - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/binary-compat-...

I work in a gamedev world, and plugins, ffi, delay loaded dlls etc. are constant pain that one needs to look and solve issues around.
That cult is kind of the opposite tho, they were looking forward to the impending hell of AGI and thought they were doing things that would get on the good side of the evil overseer AI of the future. If anything they weren't going crazy over it they felt comforted.
It’s definitely funny along the lines of “A Modest Proposal” from Swift. If you can’t detect sarcasm that’s on you, not the author, especially for something so obviously sarcastic to drive the point home about the ridiculousness of the theory that jailing homeless people will somehow produce less violence in the broader community by making a similar comparison correlating murder and people playing music loudly in public which is a minor annoyance at worst.
I’m truly sick and tired of how unsafe flying in the US has become.
I didn't mention in the article but the Nvidia drivers at one point would drop VRAM rather than preserving it, leading to corrupted RGB noise textures in window managers and browsers (and potential crashes though I don't think I encountered them). I suggested doing this on the AMD bug tracker (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2362#note_20...), but the amdgpu developers weren't interested.
How dare to question the great and powerful Orange One!! His great coming was fortold in the book of Revelation, wherein he cuts the heads off of the Magnificent Seven. He, the great Orange One, is the 8th head that is part of the seven but is destined to destroy them and ride off on a white horse.
I would rather the page be a full on live product page where the user can buy it and checkout. Then tell them we are still in development. Offer them a place on the wait-list or refund their money. The slider asking how much would you pay IF this product exists doesn't work. To really test it the customer has to believe they are really committing funds.

Well, yes, other than the minor wrinkle that the US hasn't actually annexed Canada yet.
> They also describe an attack against 11-round AES-256 that requires
> 2^70 time—almost practical.

But... nobody uses 11-round AES-256. And, crucially, these are related-key attacks, not practical for, say, breaking TLS.

In 2009, a new related-key attack was discovered that exploits the
simplicity of AES's key schedule and has a complexity of 2^119. In
December 2009 it was improved to 2^99.5... However, related-key attacks
are not of concern in any properly designed cryptographic protocol, as
a properly designed protocol (i.e., implementational software) will
take care not to allow related keys, essentially by constraining an
attacker's means of selecting keys for relatedness.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard#K...

(Note that the attack with time complexity 2^99.5 also requires 77 bits of memory, or ~16 ZiB, which is, um, billions of terabytes of RAM? edit: actually, this is 2^77 blocks worth of memory, so add a couple more orders of magnitude.)

To date, the best unconditional attack on any full variant of AES provides a factor of ~4 speedup, although it requires 9 PB of data just for AES-128.
I live in a mostly rural state. Guns are common. Dealing with some person who doesn’t know you, doesn’t know what you want, and is an hour away from law enforcement support has to have some self-reliance. Hands up, explain why you are there, and you can be friends. High-visibility vests help, but you might ditch them.
> It's the mindset assuming that for anything to have value in data privacy it needs to be 100% perfectly private and secure.

It does also need to make a difference though. If Google has say three different ways of figuring out who I am and I eliminate one of them then nothing has changed.

Let’s say IP address, fingerprinting and cookies.

In that sense it is somewhat all or nothing. Either I’ve eliminated all three or I have not. I know that’s not precisely what the author means by all or nothing but there are certainly dynamics at play here that are not a smooth continuum

Without the backing of government, the only way unions would be effective is through violence or destruction of property.

I don't think enough business people understand that having a well-defined legal framework for labor disputes is beneficial for their own safety and security, unless their expectation is that government ought to intervene on behalf of business but never on behalf of labor.
Only in the USA would people be ignorant enough to rescind funding that supports the protection and conservation of world-famous wildlife resources that also are able to sustain there own revenue source.

Probably not, at least not here.
That's interesting, because my earliest memory was wordplay related. Though I doubt I could have strung a sentence together at the time, there were definitely words involved. I have a few relatively early memories, but none that are totally pre-language.
I feel this is a great misrepresentation. The European countries have not been keeping their end of the agreement, by their lax spending. Yet this gets completely forgotten and all blame is placed on America. If you have "allies" who aren't doing the things they agreed to why is it treasonous of the US to no longer be associated to those parties. They showed through their own actions how they view their commitment to NATO. No non European nation in the history of ever has done more for the safety and prosperity of Europe then America. It seems that they feel entitled to our support instead of thankful.

The "2%ers" are hard to come by. However, it's not only about finding them, their lifestyles and friends also have to be compatible with you. You find a person you really get along with, you both remain close friends for years, then suddenly that person enters a relationship with someone you don't get along with. Or they start doing drugs or get addicted to stuff you are not interested in.

Now it's time to move on because your lives are incompatible despite being a person you used to enjoy hanging out with.

In normal operation, an aeroplane lands with enough fuel for one go-around and re-attempt at landing at the chosen airport, plus enough for diversion to their alternate, plus an additional 30 minutes of flight.

If an aircraft is anticipated to land with fuel for 30 minutes or less they must make a mayday call, and there's an incident report to fill in.

Yes they want to land with as little fuel as possible, but regulations require them to carry more because we know what happens when you let airlines carry less.

Andy Ngo is all over the place politically. He is "extreme" and hyperbolic though.
You'd think so, but there aren't equal numbers of them.
This one always breaks my brain, or at least my intuition. I understand that the reals infinitely outnumber the rationals, and the diagonal proof makes perfect sense to me. But the "between two reals there is always a rational" just beats my intuition like there's candy inside it.
sure it does. more likely sophisticated investors bought in. who should be aware of the inherent risks of any meme coin.
Top Social Security Official Leaves After Musk Team Seeks Data Access
While pre-payments might seem like stronger validation, there are good reasons not to take this approach:

1. It's a common scam tactic - many fake founders collect payments for products they never build
2. It can break trust, even with refund options
3. Users actually give better feedback when they know they're helping shape a product

MVP-It focuses on high-intent signals instead: feature requests, pricing feedback, and verified interested users. These are reliable indicators without the ethical risks.

Have you found ways to use pre-payments while maintaining trust?
All memories after the first recall is a memory of a memory. And after second recall, it's a memory of a memory of a memory. And so on. That's how the hippocampus works.
So the downsides are:

Your brain is constantly changing, and much moreso when you're young. Imagine that you're trying to load files from a previous version of a piece of software into the current version - when the format is just a binary dump and nobody has been working on backwards compatibility.
I have lots of memories from 1yo on.

I will say that my strong early memories are of things that were either very positive or very negative.

Any scientist studying memory who doesn't have early memories just has a bad memory.
Doubtful, but also perhaps a matter of perspective.

Time does not exist so we experience it, our experience of existence is a function of our brains integrating and recalling state via entropy. Therefore, our moment of consciousness is sliding along in the direction of entropy, and our entanglements with the universe around us are likewise evolving with entropy
A web platform for using YouTube as a drum sequencer
I think people are somewhat familiar with pressing the number keys while playing a YouTube video to jump to a timestamp, creating a sampler-type instrument. Well, I wanted to take it to the next step. Inspired by playing around with the Arturia Drumbrute, I built a web-based drum sequencer that uses YouTube videos as input.

32 step sequences, A/B pattern banks, bpm control, save/load pattern functionality, and what I'm most proud of - a page to share your patterns and load in patterns that other people have made.

I'm a musician (https://sweetpablo.bandcamp.com/) and aspiring web developer (https://andrew-boylan.com/) just hoping to get people using this thing before my AWS free trial runs out! Try it out and add your pattern ~

> So there must be an equal number of them

There definitely are not. Rationals are countable, reals are not.

It's tricky to prove things about the sizes of infinite sets, and "there's infinitely many of them interleaved with each other" doesn't do it, at least to my knowledge. I don't know of a way to prove equipotence except by creating a 1-1 relationship between the sets in question.
Engineers are not hired to play office politics or drag out problems in endless meetings until they give up and pretend they don't exist. They're hired to get things done and that usually requires stating things in clear and certain terms. If this seems hostile, that's on leadership.

Those who want "soft skills" from their engineers are often looking to place blame. It's easier to blame the engineer who didn't raise concern when things were going off the rails.

Before I swapped to Kobo I jailbroke my Kindle Voyage and installed Koreader on it. It was amazing.

There are several explanations for why Lynch turned down Lucas’ offer. Kazanjian implied—in either an interview [..] that Lynch turned down the offer because Dino De Laurentiis offered him Dune, an offer Lynch accepted. More recently, Kazanjian said, at a Star Wars Celebration convention in Anaheim, that Lynch wasn’t hired because, “Ah, he didn’t want Johnny Williams to do the music and he didn’t want Ben Burtt—Academy Award winner like three times—to do the sound.” [..] Incredible, yes—as in hard to believe. Kazanjian’s original claim, that Lynch weighed the pros and cons of Lucas’s offer and chose Dune instead, is more credible.

Not so much. Lynch already had the idea before Dune that he wanted more creative control because he was afraid what a studio exec would do to his vision. After Dune, he resolved to never give up creative control ever again, and repeated that time and again to anyone who would listen.

Sound was incredibly important to Lynch. He produced his own music and partnered with other artists on many of his projects, to get the exact sound he wanted. Lynch having to work with Williams and Burtt would be like Aphex Twin having to work with Walt Disney.

I stopped reading as they keep trying to probe what Lynch's Return would be like. It's like asking what David Cronenberg's Toy Story 2 would be like (though obviously that would end up like MAD GOD). Why speculate about something clearly unsuitable, other than for a grim chuckle?

Appears to be because of Kaliningrad Oblast and Belarus:

"Poland simply doesn’t have the additional capacity to send troops to Ukraine,” said a senior Polish official who spoke on condition of anonymity, noting the country has long borders with the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad and Russia-allied Belarus, which need to be reinforced with Polish forces. “The French are far away so they can send soldiers to Ukraine; we’re close so we cannot.” [0]

The biggest hurdle that caused the current emergency talks to fail appears to be Germany and Scandinavia (as usual).

The Stones were giants to the Boomers, sure, but I'm pretty old Gen-Xer myself at 54 and I hardly know them -- I mostly know them because of stories of Mick Jagger being a jerk.

To my generation REM and U2 were the big bands (and I'm sure younger people probably care as little about those bands as I do the Stones).
