I don’t care about that most of the time. When I do I’m unlikely to trust some random web service anyway (how do I know the author didn’t turn rogue the day before and decided to send a copy of every file to their own server?).

The service could offer a choice, where picking the short link comes with a big red warning. That could even be hidden under some setting on the page, since it’s the sender who needs to understand the implications.

> the usability gains of the recipient not needing a CLI tool installed might be worth the tradeoff for some folks.

That’s exactly what I’m looking for. Whenever I need one of these services, there is 0% chance the person on the other side would know how (or have the patience) to install a command-line tool.

Thank you for taking the time to expand so thoroughly from experience.
> There are services which allow you to upload via CLI and download via web browser, but they host your file so you have to wait for the full upload to finish before sharing the link.

There are exceptions to this; I've been making copyparty[1], an httpd which lets you start downloading a file that is still being uploaded[2]. If you catch up with the uploader, it'll throttle the speed so the browser doesn't drop the connection. Uploads and downloads can be done through browser and/or cli.

I recall there was at least one other alternative with similar functionality somewhere on the awesome-selfhosted list, but I'm failing to find them right now... It was prominently mentioned in the project's readme, but maybe that's no longer the case.

And are they the only members of NATO?

> You are excluding trust and relationships.

No. All that talk is just a hype in the western media to make the increase in defence spending more palatable to European citizens. The European politicians know nothing really has changed in the strategic relationship with the US. In the short-term, yes, there will be some small damage. But both sides consider it minor and acceptable to the larger goal of pumping more money into their military alliance.
Tbf a lot of translators are also really bad. Not sure if you've heard the story of Jojo and Duwang.
The single best feature (and I would say the _core_ feature separating it from C) that C++ has to offer is RAII and zig does not have that. So I don’t know which good parts of C++ they kept. Zig is more of its own thing, and they take from wherever they like, not just C++.
Not a single benchmark on the page...

Just sloppy TBH.
Yeah that tracks. If we're being real, there won't ever be much of actual human exploration beyond Earth, it'll all be done with fully automated systems. We're just not physically made for the radiation and extremely long periods of idle downtime. Star Wars has the self-awareness to call itself fantasy as some kind of exception, even though 99% of all other other sci-fi is pretty much that too.

Seeing drones do all the work unfortunately isn't very interesting though.
There is war, so nothing else is bad.

Your comment is condescending, yes.
Not to mention apple silicon or the apple modem
Because we are talking about what product wins they had. Apple Car was never officially announced, and Vision Pro is clearly their experimental/devkit sort of a product.

Vision Pro might succeed or fail, and that’s fine. I tried it, and it is clearly a significant step towards the future, but I am not sure of it becoming a successful product at its current price point and in its current state.

I am not judging CEOs or companies negatively for taking ambitious product bets and not always striking gold on those bets. I am judging them negatively for not having any product wins and not taking any ambitious product bets.

One whole technique not mentioned in the paper or comments is bitslicing. For non-branching code (e.g. symmetric ciphers) it's guaranteed constant-time and it would be a remarkable compiler indeed which could introduce optimizations and timing variations to bit-sliced code...

I'm sensitive to noise, have been using noise-canceling headphones for many years, but just recently developed chronic tinnitus. I can still use the headphones, but I _have_ to be playing music in order to block out the ringing. Which then makes the original problem worse over time as my ears start to hurt from so much constant sound.

Anyway, I've been in a real pickle for a few months now. Wondering if anyone else has the same problem?

I think the point GP is raising is that most of the robotic development in the past several decades has been on Motion Control and Perception through Visual Servoing.

Those are realistically the 'natural' developments in the domain knowledge of Robotics/Computer Science.

However, what GP (I think) is raising is the blind spot that robotics currently has on proprioception and tactile sensing at the end-effector as well as a along the kinematic chain.

As in you can accomplish this with just kinematic position and force feedback and Visual servoing. But if you think of any dexterous primate they will handle an object and perceive texture, compliance, brittleness etc in a much richer way then any state-of-the art robotic end-effector.

Unless you devote significant research to creating miniaturized sensors that give a robot an approximation of the information rich sources in human skin, connective tissue, muscle, joints (tactil sensors, tensile sensor, vibration sensors, Force sensors) that blind spot remains.
One spanning the world, perhaps.

Even ... widely.

Views transitions are very useful in content-first websites.

I've used them extensively when working on https://stack.lol

Try and navigate through pages, or change the language, and you'll get these neat effects "for free".

Frameworks like AstroJS also help a lot as they facilitate using view transitions.

It all ends up in the EHR, which is a legal document and considered THE source of truth about a patient’s care. Without seeing you hospital IT system I can guess with pretty high certainty that you are getting manufacturer info and model number, and very sparse coverage off lot number.

The problem is that this is not enough to unambiguously resolve the identity of devices across databases, or even within the same database at different time points.

For example, mapping between model number and UDI is often one to many. Model numbers might be omitted or mutated across databases and time. Manufacturer and device names are most definitely mutated. Overall it is a nightmare of an entity resolution problem.

Agreed. C, Go, Python, and Lua are my go-to languages because of their simplicity. It's unfortunate, but in my opinion, most mainstream languages are needlessly complex.

In my experience, whether it's software architecture or programming language design, it's easy to make things complicated, but it takes vision and discipline to keep them simple.
Growing steadily isn't impressive considering the reach that Apple has. As a mature company and not a startup that's valued on potential, Apple will also be looking at their actual margins. Costs a lot to make those TV shows.

> "It used to be, when I were a kid, that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection"

I suppose the kids who were hospitalized and died did, technically, gain "lifetime protection from measles"!

If "natural" inoculation was that effective and that safe, you know hwat? The disease would already be extinct generations ago, and we wouldn't be having these discussions. If anything, crazy folks like this are helping a disease we almost had practically eradicated.

___

Additionally:

This is even worse from a personal-liberty perspective, because even if it were as safe as vaccines (it isn't) to be effective you would need to force/compel/entice even more people into partiicpating, since it's actually increasing the number of infectious sources and routes in the short-term.

Even for kids not hospitalized/dead, measles damages and kinda-resets the immune system, meaning they become vulnerable to injury/death from other diseases even after you thought they were safe.
For what it's worth, I really appreciate your post.
Google in particular has had some egregiously fake AI demos in the past.
I do this, but on KDE. Occasionally, I need four horizontal windows since I'm on an ultrawide, so I use the built-in KWin tiling (https://planet.kde.org/marco-martin-2022-10-31-kwin-and-tili...).
The link I provided is about random delays being inferior to setting a high water mark, yes.

I'm not just echoing the argument made by the link, though. I'm adding to it.

I don't think the "cap runtime to a minimum value" strategy will actually help, due to how much jitter your cap measurements will experience from the normal operation of the machine.

If you filter it out when measuring, you'll end up capping too low, so some values will be above it. For a visualization, let's pretend that you capped the runtime at 80% what it actually takes in the real world:

function biased() {
return Math.max(0.8, Math.random())
}
let samples = [];
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
samples.push(biased());
}
// Now plot `samples`

Alternatively, let's say you cap it sufficiently high that there's always some slack time at the end.

Will the kernel switch away to another process on the same machine?

If so, will the time between "the kernel has switched to another process since we're really idling" to "the kernel has swapped back to our process" be measurable?

It's better to make sure your actual algorithm is actually constant-time, even if that means fighting with compilers and hardware vendors' decisions.
We have <input> and <label for=""> elements, but what about <validation for="" condition="" message=""> elements?

Condition could be a wide range of possible built-in validation functions or a custom regex or js function.

Instead of adding all these validation attributes to <input> elements you could have zero or more <validation> elements, each with their own message.

The message could automatically appear when its conditions fail. Unless you call preventDefault() inside an "invalid" event handler. The invalid event could have a list of all "validations" for that element and you could check their status via js, disarm/ignore them individually, or get their messages etc.

Some of these algorithms have to run on the SIM card, and smart cards (at least in the past) don't support RSA or (non-elliptic-curve) DH without a coprocessor that makes them more expensive.

Also, symmetric algorithms are quantum safe :)

But yes, I also wish that in 2025 we'd at least support ECC, which most smart cards should support natively at this point.

> To make things even worse, those keys have to be sent to the operator by the SIM card manufacturer (often a company based in a different country and hence subject to demands of foreign governments), so there are certainly opportunities to hack these companies and/or steal the keys in transit.

If you can't trust your SIM card vendor, you're pretty much out of luck. The attack vector for an asymmetric scheme would look a bit different, but if you can't trust the software running on them, how would you know if they were exfiltrating plaintexts through their choice of randomness for all nondeterministic algorithms?

A CxO doesn’t want to talk to a sales engineer who is not technical. They want to speak to someone on their level. The sales engineer defines the problem space and the customer needs. But isn’t technical enough to design a solution or know the feasibility of a solution.

I’m not in sales. I am the first deep technical person that a customer talks to (consulting).

Even for projects at AWS ProServe, the SA’s were sales and unless they were a “specialist SA” weren’t technical. But they came to the consultants (full time employees) in ProServe to do the technical deep dives and lead the implementations.
Even for AI engineers, the future is not necessarily bright. These approaches are so powerful and so general that the world is probably not going to need that many of them.

my noise journey:

1) try noise cancelling headphones

NO: they have undefinable effects on your psyche. Maybe "pressure" or some sort of non-silent silence that your body still reacts to?

2) white noise, pink noise, music, classical music, new age music, atmospheric sounds, etc

NO: actually, these are similar to noise-cancelling headphones. Your brain is still reacting to the sound in a non-passive way.

3) giant earmuffs

NO: heavy, physical head pressure, etc

solution) 3M ear classic NRR 33 earplugs. when I need to concentrate. while sleeping. Keep a pair around for "that guy" playing videos on his phone in public. The BEST. I buy 200 at a time.

After reading this article, I wonder if noise-cancelling headphones + 3m earplugs might work together?
In many companies the director-level promotion requires agreement from other directors in other departments. Not every director in the company but directors from other groups or organizations you will interact with. It's different from the promotion to manager or senior manager which normally only involves review by managers or directors within one silo.

The jump to director is by no means driven just by experience or tenure and may require skills or expertise you have not demonstrated. It may be time to have a career conversation with your VP.
