Yes, SVN handles large amounts of big binary rather efficiently. It employs some binary diffing internally to keep storage usage low.

The centralized model also allows optional file locking, which reduces the risk of accidental merges destroying a file. This is a major concern for files that aren't source code when no dedicated merge tool exists.

Also, the centralized storage of the repo history becomes a bit of a bonus at this scale as it doesn't need to be replicated to each client, saving a little bit on disk storage and data transfers.

The one unfortunate downside of SVN is the implementation of merging between branches. That relies on per-file merge histories that are partially stored in per-file properties. This is opaque, internal information, yet it is tracked the same way as file changes. This leads to situations where it's all too easy to discard some of the merge history with harmless looking operations like reverting a file between a local merge and its merge commit to get rid of an unwanted change. Once something like this happens, future merges end up doing random looking things like re-applying changes that have already been merged. This is a major part of what gives SVN its bad reputation. You really have to tread on eggshells when merging. If you can avoid the pitfalls, merging works well. But it requires rather deep knowledge of SVN and discipline.
This isn't quite true. Your PDS can't rewrite your messages: all messages are signed with a key unique to your account.

That said, the PDS is effectively also your private key custodian. Most people who aren't nerds are happy to let Bluesky PBC manage their keys. But if that's your threat model, you should absolutely move to a self-managed PDS.

The protocol also actually allows you to manage your keys differently. You could in theory have a "read-only" PDS, and generate all your posts locally using a local key (conceptually much closer to a crypto wallet.)

In that scenario, the validity of posts as originating from a known identity is extremely strong.

What's the usecase of 512 GB memory that you cannot achieve through multi GPUs? Maybe you can make it bit cheaper as you don't require multiple chip, but I would say it is just a maybe because the chip is not the costliest part for Nvidia to manufacture, it is the memory[1].

I can think of two reasons:

1) The data store offers some other interesting property that necessitates this tradeoff.

2) You want your data store to be transparent/auditable by anyone.
Do you think this would become doable by private citizens in the near future for a reasonable amount of money? I've been curious about how far upstream the sculpins are in our local streams. I've seen some in pretty small streams but looking for them typically involves standing still in very cold water for long enough to see them move.
I like it. A problem I had right away is some people commit using two different emails. Like one from home computer and one from work computer. Would be nice to be able to define them as the same thing.

Imagine if Github worked this way, then I wouldn't have to worry about storing my ssh keys on my local machine. Imagine the possibilities if Github could pull my repo instead of me having to go through all that darned trouble of pushing it.
So what? Why not let there be flashlight apps if users find them useful? Apple doesn't have to recommend them in the app store and can sort them to the bottom of search results page. But why can't the exist. If people don't want them they will choose not to install them.

Not too long ago it was revealed that Apple's supposedly secure protocol for their Airpods entirely relied on plaintext keys locked to the hardware. Based on the quality of their software products, I am not surprised.

Amphibians are sadly, more susceptible to environmental toxins than reptiles are. I think it’s because their skin is more absorbent than reptile skin, but my biological knowledge is fairly limited.
Depends on the undergrad. I had a ton of interactions with top professors in undergrad because I sought it out.

Ai data is gathered from public and private sources. Unless that data is entirely private source, it's inappropriate to be able to copyright those derivitive works.
Fedora Core 6 here!
Given how LLM generated stuff has gone over with courts thus far, I can't see one accepting an AI summary as evidence. They're describing basically using AI as grep -r, which seems reasonable with the assumption that they are following due process to access the device storage. And if they aren't the problem isn't the LLM.

Because everyone here commenting knows the reason?! This is all speculation by outsiders. Apple isn’t commenting and if they did, outsiders wouldn’t know if it’s the real reason. It could be that Apple lacks the patents, for some of these key features and they are making the best out of a bad situation. It is what it is and we can’t be sure why.
Looking at the JSON data in dev tools, it looks like there are separate `createdAt` and `indexedAt` fields, the latter of which was probably a later addition. For your—likely pre-migration—post, both are set to 9/11. On more recent posts, they're separate dates.

Really? Did you have to pair your Apple watch? Did Apple sign the software on the watch? Did Apple build special APIs and tools into iOS to support certain features of the Apple Watch?

Apple is demonstrating here that they can control every aspect of what you can do with your phone, including not allowing Pebble to work.

Apple doesn't even allow you to replace broken parts in your phone unless it has an Apple approved signature that can be validated.

I know people love Apple products, as do I, but at a certain point it must get exhausting arguing that the wealthiest company with the largest market share is also, somehow, the one that should be exempt from anti-trust action and/or exempt from developing simple 3rd party integrations.
I'd trade down that desktop into an old Thinkpad circa T430 era, which you can get for less than $150 and slap Debian onto. If you need more processor for something, rent it from the cloud and work through ssh (or set up a VPN.)

With that, a cellphone, and wifi, you actually can work from your car. Certainly from a coffee shop.

There is no "mental health", other than in the eye of the introspector. What exists in objective reality, is the successful or unsuccessful performing of the assigned social role.

When you fail to fulfill your role, or when you consciously reject it, or when society simply has no role to offer you, the world around you begins to fall apart, and you find your mind adapting to the raw, unfiltered, unconditioned chaos that surrounds you in every unpredictable moment.

It's called madness. It's a natural response that a human has to the falling away of social bonds. One would like to believe that pre-industrial, non-totalizing societies knew a thing or two about the workings of that particular stable configuration of the human mind, and what role it can be made to fulfill in the collective "organism" of the community.

Our society, on the other hand, well... it simply blames you for being a "no good" person, and puts all the responsibility on you while robbing you of all power to resolve your situation. Because it's better that way - for everyone else, but you, the very person whose fault it most certainly isn't. Which is, fundamentally, unjust. But what can one do - we're all taught in childhood that "life's not fair", so that's exactly the kind of life we end up setting up for each other.

(FWIW, of those three "pathways", the only one I've personally witnessed to accomplish anything at all is the one that's the least socially accepted. We do remain, after all, subject to the pressures of natural selection. Sapienti sat.)
I'd rather keep the government out of the loop completely.

North Korea's cost basis is >$0. They have limited numbers of hacks per year that they can perform, and every road block in between the hack and unrestricted dollars will drain a couple percent of the profit, add a couple percent chance that they get caught or scammed while trying to launder the money. All or these have costs and reduce the take-home profit for Russia.
AI won't replace humans at the moment, but it does make humans more productive. I've personally increased my productivity by many % after integrating AI into my workflow.
That's also my point. No one gains anything by not owning one, either. If one does like and want the car, they only hurt themselves by not buying one. If Tesla went out of business and one couldn't buy a car they wanted, they hurt themselves.

I buy things that make me happy or give me an advantage of some sort. I wouldn't want to lose that. Someone else's politics or personal life don't matter to me.

1. Give up dream of tech.
2. Call local tech schools and ask about rapid certifications and sponsorship programs like Kentucky has for CDL training doe people experiencing privation
3. Live on student loans working toward a licensable occupation in which graduate degrees benefit you, such as social work, nursing, teaching, paralegal
4. Live on loans either in a dorm or get the cheapest studio apartment around.
5. You can't eat pride, just get a long term plan for a room and burgers on demand.

6.GIVE UP YOUR FANTASY OF TECH. A bachelors in IT is worthless. They don't even care about certs anymore after the DEI culture shift. They destroyed the lower levels to hand take the future from Americans and give it to Indians. There is no way to build up the initial skills sets because the number in the top of the pyramid is declining. It will take years to rebel against Microsoft's attempt to hold all private information. Give up It.
7. Your kids need a dad with a plan doe a room and burgers. Pride is worthless.
Become a social worker and save 50 percent of your student loans for six years.

The range used to be somewhat larger, but the environment has been reduced (most of what’s now Mexico city used to be a lake). It needs the right combination of climate and environment which doesn’t really exist outside of Mexico City (and that environment is constantly being encroached upon and degraded, although it is relatively protected at least).

It seems that many people know about the axolotl courtesy of Minecraft which on the one hand is cool because hey, now they know about this endangered species but on the other hand is not cool because a not insignificant number of them think, hey I want one as a pet which leads to poaching and death because neither poachers nor video gamers are adept at caring for fragile amphibians.
Turkish university annuls Erdogan rival's degree, preventing run for president
Because everyone is on a spectrum. [xyz] wasn't the straw to break this user's back, but it will be the tipping point for some number of users. [xyz] is also moving this user closer to the edge, so when Apple does [abc] the sum of both is now enough to move this user.

You can't expect that everyone who is bothered by an issue switch away from a platform. The switching cost is significant (and Apple works hard to make it as high as possible). Not to mention that the platforms (really one notable competitor) that they are considering switching to also have [def] and [ghi] that the user doesn't like which is also counterbalancing the decision.
It didnt use to be open-source. Its closely tied to MS which can do whatever about it. It will always have better support on MS and Azure. It still MS stack and if you want to get out of that you have bazilion better more free options.

I understand the intent of this ruling, but it seems that real artists like Refik Adanol who trains his own models and produces work that I would consider to be uniquely his, are getting the short end of the stick here.
If you were to write up the actual accounts of what's going on as a fictional tale, it would seem too fake to be convincing.

I think this because the Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan has a season where he creates a fictional Martian revolution, and the new PHB I mean CEO ruins operations by instituting massive new policy in the name of efficiency, but ends up making everybody's jobs slower and worse, and it felt too fake to fit in with the rest of the story.

I must now reevaluate the incompetence of "efficiency" seeking C level execs. Perhaps they really are that bad.
At minimum, somebody pressed a button.

You can generate AI art that doesn't involve a prompt, using only random noise and sampler settings as input. It's a good way to test for bias in the training material or overfitting for a specific style/type of content.

Surely then same would apply to any photos edited with any of the fancy filters in Photoshop? Or any other software for that matter…

It often does (even in the example you have suggested previously). It’s just that you can’t legally hire a monkey to press the trigger unlike a human (even through its effectively the same thing)
Erasing history is an important tool in normalizing the (current, and many more planned) authoritarian abused of the Trump regime.
Reminds me of the delightfully strange short story by the Argentinian writer Julio Cortázar:

‘Axolotl’ is narrated by a lonely man who regularly visits the local zoo, where he becomes fascinated by the axolotls in the aquarium. In time, he states that he, too, is an axolotl, and feels he has become one of them.

Pure anecdote, but it reminds me of that time, I mentioned on a call that a particular piece of code was a time bomb waiting to explode, only to have Alexa wake up and listen as I was standing nearby and noticed the light. I immediately disconnected it and never looked back.
I'm not sure what you mean, I don't have an Apple watch. Also idk what a Pebble is.

That's fine, I don't want to buy a used iPhone and find out it has random parts in it.
And yet Apple has shown many times a willingness to use vague language of their rules to block apps they don't want. Past behavior can't predict future behavior.
Israel really wants the whole world to conflate "Israeli", "Jewish" and "Zionist", but it is a lie.

Is there data to support that it is a lie? I don't personally know any Jews who are unsympathetic to Palestinians, but the percentage of Jews who are anti-zionist must be tiny. That makes sense, given the problems Jews had before Israel existed (like 1/3 dying in WWII)

Yet another example of security without consideration for user experience and freedom. Information security is a careful balance between not using technology at all and getting things done using technology. Sometimes you have to wonder if heavy-handed solutions like this actually helps maintain this balance for users, or just serves to ensure a company's bottom line.

This is the line of reasoning that has resulted in me being unable to sign up with a shocking amount of house rental companies, thanks to Play Integrity on the android side of the coin. Does it improve security for me? I would argue it doesn't, as it would force me to use unpatched versions of Android. If it's not serving the user, who is it for?
You don't. You don't pay an AI. You pay a company owned by humans that offer an AI service.
I wonder how much of this is policy, and how much is actually a technical limitation.

For example, could you build an app that would not pass app store review, that would be able to send SMS or manipulate notifications? If so you could just "install" it yourself with Xcode.
If AppleWatch didn't exist, this critique and reasoning would have legs.

What's the merit of doing this?
Preach. My team's building an OS for smart glasses and some of our most common feature requests are iOS notifications & being able to reply to them.

We're going to have to do insane things to get them working. Due to how ANCS works, we're considering developing an ANCS "doohicky" (either a BLE pop-socket, smart-ring, or mag-safe wallet) which gets notifications via BLE & relays them back to the iPhone, to then send to the glasses. That would just get us the raw notifications, though, and wouldn't solve the issue of replying. The other option is a Beeper-like system in the cloud to bypass iOS entirely, but that also has downsides.

It's a total mess, especially compared to Android where you can just easily listen for notifications & send them to the glasses without much pushback from the system.
The fact that they deleted everything over a 4 year period instead of just a subset made you less angry?

Would you mind explaining why?
The teeming masses of iOS users are, in general, morons, and should absolutely be infantalized when it comes to their device security
"Can we use a distributed database instead? If the answer is ‘Yes’, why go for blockchain at all? Indeed, blockchain is slower and more resource-intensive."

The key factor when assessing a blockchain project is indeed to see what is the advantage of a blockchain vs a usual database.

Most of the time, there is none. Worse, cost of a blockchain is more expensive as pointed by the article.

And you still need an authoritative registry somewhere if there any physical item involved.

In addition to that, blockchain projects faces another business issue: to be really decentralized, you have to lose control of what you put on the blockchain, which is hard to conceive for a private company.
