What Will No Longer Work after March 31, 2025
Accessing albums and media items not uploaded by your app: The Library API will no longer allow access to the elements in a user’s library that were not uploaded by your app. Instead, you can use the Picker API.

It looks like they're creating a specific way for photo frames to be granted access to shared albums, but the linked page doesn't say how a photo frame developer can get access to that:

1) Install any Windows version from the past decade in any machine
2) Go to 'performance' and remove all visuals
3) download and install ClassicShell to have a decent Start button
4) download and use (most are portable) any Privacy settings tool
5) find, download and install WindowsFirewallControl v4.9.x.x and use it on MediumFiltering with "Display Notifications" (you get the 'ZoneAlarm experience')
6) Uninstall all the crapware and disable many services (I use SysInternals Autoruns64)(Winternals for the older ones)
7) Happy Days!!

[not-author] but found it really fascinating. My open questions
- is the version monotonically increasing though?
- how would one handle wrap arounds once the versions don't fit a datatype?
- who decides the version to be assigned to a thread's attempt?
You will own nothing and be happy. Not even your family photos.
> When doing HTTP request to IP you specify the domain you want to connect to

No, you make HTTP requests to an IP, not a domain. You convert the domain name to an IP in an earlier step (via a DNS query). You can connect to servers using their raw IPs and open ports all day if you like, which is what's happening here. Yes servers will (likely) reject the requests by looking at the host header, but they will still receive the request.

I found some other articles that go into further detail, and name one of the lead researchers involved.

I've also found a paper published on this, though I haven't reviewed it myself: https://strathprints.strath.ac.uk/74530/1/El_Rai_etal_SPIE20...

You seem to be the emotional one here, but hey, if it makes you feel better trying to police how other people react to stuff, then you do you, sister.

Also, what's this "we", just because you're being paid to be a robot doesn't mean everyone else is.
We could call it the "Ministry of Truth."

Sorry, no, "Office of Truth." "Department? "Bureau?"

Or do we need to find a meme to make an acronym out of?

>As soon as the government takes control of something it must be quantified and standardized. It immediately turns abstract goals like “increase opportunity for poor children” into easily tracked and digestible goals like increasing test scores or spending more money.

Title IX would like to have a word with you.

This prohibited sex discrimination in education and athletics, which enabled womens sports among other things.

The drive for easily tracked goals is not inherent in government, it is an artifact of current political process.
>I love thinking about stuff, but I don't like the fact that some people's entire lives is dedicated to just "thinking" without ever "doing" anything of substance.

This is likely what's getting you downvoted - your assertion that others doing what makes them happy is somehow "wrong". You may not find value, or whatever, in it, but others do. Good for them, good for you. To each their own.

Why not exactly? Between Meta’s great contributions to the open-source ecosystem and Mark behaving more like a normal man nowadays, right now is the only time in a long time that I’ve considered applying to go work at Meta. I’ve heard several of my colleagues and friends say the same thing in recent months.
The low-effort posting (AKA shitposting) is part of what makes it great. It's kind of an acquired taste, but there's a certain humor to it.

One of which is his order to shoot protesters, per Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper. The current SecDef would carry out those orders.

Some members of the armed forces would refuse such orders, others would follow them.

In terms of patrimonialism, Donald is the country and the country is Donald, not just in his mind, but also the true believers.

Therefore, there won’t be a universal sense of 5 USC 3331 preventing the following of such an order. That oath will merely be transferred to Donald in the minds of the committed, and part of what will aid this is principate.
When I was learning Dutch, I found the same gap between kids' books that were too simple and proper novels that were too complex.

Newspapers were the easiest and best way to bridge that. They made it easy to pick a story where you had both some interest and enough background context.

I started with De Telegraaf, a popular newspaper, with short, simple stories and lots of photos. And over the course of 18 months worked my way up to serious papers like NRC Handelsblad and de Volkskrant.

So I'd give newspapers (and magazines) a go.

Back then, I'd sit in a cafe with my dictionary, reading their newspapers, and handwriting lists of words to learn. Nowadays it would be reading the paper's website on my laptop, pasting paragraphs into GPT, and adding the words to Anki etc :)
Reread the thread I responded to. Your going off the rails. I was never commenting about this unrelated 750 billion dollar number you pulled up. So I have no idea what your talking about and you seemed riled up and just want to argue about something?

If your so desperate for a comment from me, I wouldn't take that 750billion value as fact without seeing the methodology behind determining it, since we have already seen things like approved spending be labeled fraud and other misinformation.

Your bringing up unrelated topics, that's not how to have a discussion. That's just rambling.
As long as you're not using exogenous hormones, muscle mass can only be achieved with exercise that builds or preserves muscle. I'd say that's a pretty good predictor against frailty, which is strongly associated with mortality among the elderly.
> People currently hate 11, I suspect 12 will be loved mostly because MS will back off a bit on some of the new innovative UI changes and advertising everywhere.

Oh I'm sure it will be radically different.

I expect they will rename windows to "Copilot" or Windows Copilot" just like they have done with most of their other products like Microsoft 365. I'm not even joking.

They just seem so hell-bent on destroying their existing branding, even more than they normally are. Looks like they have a huge fear of missing that AI boat and becoming irrelevant.

At the same time they are building a catalogue that's so difficult to understand because everything is called Copilot now. I've even seen their own sales people get confused about what's what.
If you look at Lattice's design (YC W16), it suggests that the current trend in performance management is to put everyone on a PIP. This is really more in line with what constitutes "at-will" employment.
Many prominent philosophies are praxis. Stoicism is meant to be equal parts theory and practice, with the two supporting each other to iterate towards being a better person. Buddha referred to theory as a raft to cross a river; useful to get somewhere, but not to carry forward. Practice is at the heart of true progress, and theory is only a stepping stone to aid in evolving your practice.
It has been for 20 years. All the coöps in Seattle have been corrupted. Same a PCC. They both started as a way for people to pool their buying power and source things that weren't available anywhere else, REI with climbing gear and PCC with bulk food and organic produce. Both are indistinguishable from a Met Market, they have lost their core mission and now just cater to the rich.
If I authorize an app to scrape an entire album, that’s a good thing.

> It’s a guess where they want to trim the 50% from, but my money is on climate science

From the article:

> Even if NASA's Earth science budget were taken to zero, cutting the overall science budget in half would still dramatically reduce funding in planetary science as well as other research areas. Scientists told Ars that NASA would be forced to make difficult decisions, likely including shutting off extended missions such as the Voyager and Curiosity probes on Mars, and possibly even the Hubble Space Telescope. It might be possible to save missions in later stages of development, such as the Dragonfly probe to Saturn's moon Titan, and the NEO Surveyor mission to search for hazardous asteroids. But it would be impossible to start meaningful new missions to explore the Solar System, potentially setting back planetary exploration a decade.
One time my friend called me that she cannot do anything on this laptop, at first I was unable to figure out what is wrong. CPU usage was low, memory plenty available and yet it was a slideshow. Then it clicked - it was not plugged in.

I completely forgot about that PC laptops massively lose performance when on battery as well. Now she is always plugged in, which sort of defeats the purpose of having mobile device.

When going to uni she has to get a place with the outlet to plug it in.

Never had that problem with Mac (I can get it fully charged to work, do the whole day without plugging it in. I don't have a charger in my bag...).

Unfortunately some software she has to use only works on Windows and doesn't work well in VM (I tried on my Mac to see if it was viable, unfortunately not).
Europe is a still far better, but the root cause in America is a low tax rate on the rich and privatized intelligence/social media companies fueling the society splitting narratives that oligarchs prefer. The end state being societies that are easily divided and conquered.

So Europe might have better data protection laws, but I'm not sure that prevents A/B testing algorithmic feeds, and I think France tried to tax the rich and they just moved out.

In terms of position, velocity, and acceleration, Europe has a clearly better position, arguably the same velocity (towards nationalism/right wing), and it's very hard to tell the level of acceleration, but America's blunder definitely gave other countries a momentary reprieve.

So there is nothing structurally preventing Europe from the same fate, if you think so, that's just exceptionalism... Exceptionalism feels good when others are doing poorly, but it doesn't in any way prevent you from the same fate.

People ran away from despotism to America, but those people were unable to fight despotism in their own countries. If everyone runs, then there will be no place left to run.
> People hated 8, but loved 10.

I think the pattern holds for Windows 7 and Vista. I don't know anyone who remembers Windows 10 fondly, and on a personal level I hated both 8 and 10.

I also don't share your optimism regarding Windows 12. You or I might consider switching to Linux, but 95% of the population has never heard of Linux and even fewer will ever install it. Then there is MacOS, which is gated behind hardware that is prohibitively expensive, as well as having a limited selection of software available; also a non-starter. Microsoft isn't going to back off of user-hostile practices unless they lose a series of anti-trust suits. They were already forced to allow users to uninstall Edge in the EU and they region-locked the functionality so that users outside of the EU were still stuck with Edge. They are in the mass surveillance game for the long haul.
Wow, that's a lot more work than my Fedora setup.

Windows is only free if you don't value your time, huh?
So this does not need large training data sets like traditional models?

The lizard and the Game of life example seem to illustate that you only need one data points to create or "reverse" engineer a an algorithm that "generates" something Equal to the data point.

How is this different from using a neural network and then over fitting it?

Maybe that instead learning trained weights, the Cellular Automata learns a combination of logic (a circuit).

So the underlying, problems with over fitting an neural network (a model being un able to generalise) still hold for this "logic cellular automata"?
Not sure if 20-30 mins of discussion is necessary for my case, but my case was simple. When the new prescription glasses arrived, the nose pads are not properly adjusted, resulting in the glasses sitting too high on my face. This means I'm looking through the bottom portion of the lens. This makes things blurry and causes headaches. Fortunately once the problem is noticed, it takes one minute to fix.
Such as matriarchy. Lots of Latin words are borrowed Greek words. But if you insist, you could have schediocracy, from σχεδίασμα (skhedíasma).

Or maybe drop the h to give *astatocracy, like astatine, the unstable element. Easier to say.
It's not, It's adding a global variable called _gaUserPrefs to every site. If the actual GA script is loaded it would look for this as the opt-out signal.

Of course any other tracking (or GA tracking) could use this as a part of fingerprinting.
I think physicists should appreciate more the question of time series A versus time series B raised by John McTaggart. Essentially it points out that modern physics or math is incapable of describing the notion of time flow. Time in physics is the time series B, which is a static with no notion of time flow. Yet our perceptions tells that the time flow very match exists.
Run it in a VM.
Data Retention in MLC NAND Flash Memory (2015) [pdf]
This new API is so bad that it is breaking Google photo albums on Android TVs!

No one wants to manually add each photo to a slideshow. Google Photos has AI that automatically makes themed albums, it works great. I point my TV at my family photos, new pictures of my family are automatically added as I take them, and then shown on my TV. That is how it is supposed to work.

This new locked down API places all the security burden on the user, and a large % of users are not going to be able to figure out the new system, and the new system is so complicated that many products are just going to give up on working altogether.

The new system, even if well intentioned, should not be rolled out, it is a huge net loss for users.
It serve as reminder that Windows (my laptop) will be potentially broken again ? Alert message ? Upvoted the news, appreciate. Will stay vigilant
Except when asked if they speak English, where they then very hesitantly say (in perfect English btw) "a little bit".

Quite interesting cultural differences btw. In my experience, if you ask the same question in Denmark, the answer is "of course... Everybody here speaks English"

CRISPR is naturally occurring, but got patented to hell.
They were done at the same time and they are not in such a simple causal relationship. Try thinking and learning instead of trying to come up with arguments for claims you've already decided are right.
Yeah, hope dies last.

>> ClaudePlaysPokémon is proof that the last 6 months of AI innovation, while incredible, are still far from the true unhobbling necessary for an AI revolution. That doesn't mean 2-year AGI timelines are wrong, but it does feel to me like some new paradigm is yet required for them to be right.

The predictions aren't wrong! They're just nowhere near being right yet!
Philosophy is often a catch all for hard thinking that hasn’t gotten its own field yet. Newton was a “natural philosopher”. The US government constitution was written by a bunch of philosophy nerds. Rene Descartes “invented” the XY plane that every math student uses to graph functions. The foundation of women’s rights is all based on the work of philosophers. Philosophy is currently very active in the interpretation of quantum mechanics.

I would agree that most philosophy is bunk (including the above article) but most books are bad too. Keeping the tradition alive is important though because your entire worldview is built on philosophies you haven’t read.
The Explosive Meeting Where Trump Officials Clashed with Elon Musk
I would say either party has the right to consent or not to an agreement. Zelensky as I said exercised his right not to sign it and the US exercised their right to go their separate ways in regards to sharing of certain resources.

If a party doesn't consent to the agreement, they would not say be obligated to provide military aid against their will.
It’s interesting to see how differentiable logic/binary circuits can be made cheap at inference time.

But what about the theoretical expressiveness of logic circuits vs baselines like MLPs? (And then of course compared to CNNs and other kernels.) Are logic circuits roughly equivalent in terms of memory and compute being used? For my use case, I don’t care about making inference cheaper (eg the benefit logical circuits brings). But I do care about the recursion in space and time (the benefit from CAs). Would your experiments work if you still had a CA, but used dumb MLPs?
It's a classic example of "The best time to do it was yesterday, the second best time to do it is today."

We're on Trump's second term, the countries facing Russia would be insane to rely on us or respect agreements with us.
> Does "often" fit the definition?

No: "proper reasoning" is that process which given sufficient input will surely bring to a correct output owing to the effectiveness of its inner workings.

That is not a general problem solver, and "output the most common recorded reply to a question" is certainly not a general problem solver, and the responses from the box indicated will easily be worthless for all special cases in which the question will make sense.

Different components might vaporise at temperatures.

If you heat water and alcohol to 80°, measurements would indicate ~100% alcohol.

You won’t know the right temperature unless you know what substance it is.

Edit: I guess you might also have stuff which reacts below their vaporising temperature.

I've been looking for info on long term data retention in flash memory for a while. Exact details on flash lifetime are surprisingly scarce. This paper provides a nice overview of the electronics of a MLC NAND flash cell, and the reasons behind them degrading over time. The authors propose two ways of increasing the resilience of MLC cells.
When we talk about making AI safer, we often slide into paternalistic frames where we dictate outcomes rather than enabling capabilities with appropriate guardrails. The distinction she makes between providing capabilities and forcing functions seems critical.

I'm curious if anyone has explored applying Nussbaum's theory directly to AI development frameworks. What would her capabilities list look like for artificial intelligence? Could this be a more productive framework than current alignment approaches?
> Windows workstation to be more stable with heavy RAM use and multitasking

This has been true since the NT4 days where you could make that spinning rust beg for mercy under a heavily used page file and NT would never fall over.

macOS will complain fairly quickly after it's swap space runs out. And if you read /r/macos or /r/mac, you'll see that happens with innocuous programs as well as 1st party Apple apps like Pages/Music. There's a memory leak in userland across a wide variety of apps in macOS right now.
Oh yeah that filesystem whatever it was called sounded really revolutionary.
Node-Boot: Spring Boot-Like Framework for Fast and Opinionated Node.js Apps
Node-Boot is an opinionated Node.js framework that simplifies the development of stand-alone, production-ready applications.

Inspired by Spring Boot, it abstracts common complexities, provides a seamless developer experience, and supports multiple HTTP server frameworks (Express, Fastify, Koa) with an easy-to-implement driver pattern.

Whether you're a Node.js developer looking for structure or a Spring Boot developer transitioning to Node.js, Node-Boot bridges the gap, eliminating tedious setup and empowering rapid application development.
Ridiculous read on what is fundamentally an anti-authoritarian philosophy. Read John Stuart Mill, one of Nussbaum's biggest influences (unfortunately not mentioned in the article).

Francis Bacon created modern-day science with his development of the philosophy behind the scientific method. Your definition of philosophy might be exceedingly narrow and focused on contemporary issues. And even that ignores Karl Popper’s falsifiability
I honestly think Windows with WSL is the best developer platform at the moment. Mac is great but software written for Linux is better integrated into Windows. I love Linux (particularly Debian, Fedora/RHEL, Qubes) for servers but Mac and Windows provide a more pleasant experience.
Great advice that is a bit redundant with LLMs, no? They're pretty great at all forms of translation.
I don’t think this is true. My understanding is that the heart is a very unique muscle because it doesn’t grow. If your heart does grow, either by genetic defect or anabolic abuse, it works much worse. So you’ll live a shorter life.

7 has significant kernel improvements that dramatically improves its performance, as well as huge changes to its graphics system that heavily reduced memory usage. (Data that was mirror in system ram wasn't anymore, dropping local RAM usage.)

If you threw enough horse power at, vista could be fast, but it would always end up using more resources than windows 7.
Falcon 9 was a more conservative rocket. The big new thing was recovering the booster, and there were lots of failures for that. The other big difference is that Falcon 9 uses the Merlin engine, which was developed on Falcon 1 rocket which had multiple failures.

Starship is trying something new, recovering the second stage that goes in orbit. Which means bigger rocket and more complicated second stage. They are also using new Raptor engines.

The last two failures have been new version of Starship, and they either broke something or haven't been able to fix problem.
