Actually Apple were fined because they don't apply the same standard to their own pop-ups that allow users to reject tracking. On Apple popups you seem to need one click, while on 3rd party popups you need to confirm twice.

So the fine seems to be for treating 3rd parties differently from their own stuff.

They could make their own popups require double confirmation instead...

That's a different article. The Gizmodo article has a byline of "Melissa" and apparently is originally from TodayIFoundOut.com.
The only thing they had with USB-C were the tablets. Literally everything else came out after the mandate. Apple also didn't communicate any intent on switching their connectors to USB-C.
> While cellulose is an anticaking agent, I don't think I've ever seen it used for cheese. Typically you see cheese using a modified corn starch.

I've seen potato, corn, and cellulose. I suspect the ideal choice depends on the type of cheese.

Here's shredded parmesan with cellulose for example:

In the summer, there are a small fleet of vehicles called "Deltas": https://photolibrary.usap.gov/PhotoDetails.aspx?filename=del... and the Kress.

From the article (though it doesn't say these still exist):

> But, she says, “Ivan could just make it through anything. I mean, he just floated across when the roads went bad,” as opposed to the Deltas and the 65-passenger Kress trailer, which often got bogged down in slushy snow and transitional terrain, and led to passengers being stranded out on the ice.

DVs (the Antarctic/naval term for VIPs) usually travel in minivans with oversize or tracked wheels. Those are also used to get smaller groups shuttled between places.

Interesting, also this quote is as interesting as the code:

They did have implementation defined behavior, but a large part of undefined behavior was exactly that: never define anywhere and could have always been raised to implementation defined if they had thought to mention it.
> That post was for the Americans who are waking up about now.

You are just trying to excuse a plain case of embezzlement by dressing up as authoritarianism. Good that a cheater such as Le Pen is removed from elections. If democracy allows cheaters to run, that is shortcut to disaster.

Were Le Pen able to win an election without embezzlement of EU funds, I would agree she is as popular as you claim.

> And to the people who call themselves "European citizens", I would say this: you can build a positive, shared European identity without the EU.

As someone that lives in an EU country, I fully disagree. Even the largest EU countries are relatively small for the world stage. Consider that Germany has the population of Chinese provinces.

EU is an absurdly positive to every country involved, to the point where I actively desire further integration. Federalization of Europe should be the goal, not less integration.

> The average rock concert does more for long term European integration than any EU regulation because the EU is not Europe and Europe is not the EU. The EU is a transient political arrangement, one that is by now actually working against true European integration.

And this is the point where I come to conclusion you are arguing in bad faith.

> The path it's on leads to ever harsher authoritarianism.

Funny you mention this when you are crying about Le Pen and fucking AfD.

Yeah, nothing authoritarian from those people. It is the EU that is truly authoritarian. Sure.

Fuck that noise.

There's half a dozen better ways that could have been addressed anytime in the past decade.

Anything from making it implementation defined to unspecified behavior to just throwing a diagnostic warning or having a clang-tidy performance rule.

I'm also incredibly suspicious of the idea that FAANG in particular won't accept minor compiler slowdowns for useful safety. Google and Apple for example have both talked publicly about how they're pushing bounds checking by default internally and you can see that in the Apple Buffer hardening RFC and the Abseil hardening modes.
Stability and probability are orthogonal concepts. You can have stable probabilistic systems. Look no further than our own universe, where everything is ultimately probabilistic and not "rules-based".
My memory is hazy on it, _but_ from memory, there were some issues around IDs and persistence which don't occur on other servers, as well as the auth being a bit funky. (Gmail also uses its own extension to the protocol for IDs instead of using eg OBJECTID.)

To be clear, I have no opinion on IMAP or what things _should_ do; I certainly was not using IMAP software in the 1990s :) However, trying to implement a client that works across providers does mean trying to operate per the standards, which was a struggle and why I started documenting it :)

" It’s easy to blame the user's missing grasp of basic version control, but that misses the deeper point."

Uhh, no, that's pretty much the point. A developer without basic understanding of version control is like a pilot without a basic understanding of landing. A ton of problems with AI (or any other tool, including your own brain) get fixed by iterating on small commits and branching. Throw away the commit or branch if it really goes sideways. I can't fathom working on something for 4 months without realizing a problem or having any way to roll back.

That said, the one argument I could see is if Cursor (or copilot, etc) had built in to suggest "this project isn't in source control, we should probably do that before getting too far ahead of ourselves.", then help the user setup sc, repo, commit, etc. The topic _is_ tricky and I do remember not totally grasping git, branching, etc.

No, and that has been happening over time. C++26 for example looked at uninitialized variables and defined them. The default is intentionally unreasonable for all cases where this would happen just forcing everyone to initialize (and also because the value is unreasonable makes it easy for runtime tools to detect the issue when the compiler cannot)

That is more glib than insightful, I think: the programming equivalent of “as fast as you can” in this metaphor would likely be measured in lines of code, not CPU-seconds.

https://thequantuminsider.com/2025/03/31/google-researchers-... :

> Using this model, [Quantum Statistical Query (QSQ) learning,] the authors design a two-part algorithm. First, the quantum algorithm finds the hidden period in the function using a modified form of quantum Fourier transform — a core capability of quantum computers. This step identifies the unknown weight vector that defines the periodic neuron. In the second part, it applies classical gradient descent to learn the remaining parameters of the cosine combination. The algorithm is shown to require only a polynomial number of steps, compared to the exponential cost for classical learners. [...]

> The researchers carefully address several technical challenges. For one, real-valued data must be discretized into digital form to use in a quantum computer.

Quantum embedding:

> Another way to put this: real-world numbers must be converted into digital chunks so a quantum computer can process them. But naive discretization can lose the periodic structure, making it impossible to detect the right signal. The authors solve this by designing a pseudoperiodic discretization. This approximates the period well enough for quantum algorithms to detect it.

> They also adapt an algorithm from quantum number theory called Hallgren’s algorithm to detect non-integer periods in the data. While Hallgren’s method originally worked only for uniform distributions, the authors generalize it to work with “sufficiently flat” non-uniform distributions like Gaussians and logistics, as long as the variance is large enough.
Choice is great, but I don't think we can expect everyone to maintain "unit files" for every init system. If you can and can afford to run systemd it's probably worth it, it's a "nice to have" most of the time.

If you wanna run your own init solution you can but it might be a bit of effort, embedded people often do this while a system like a desktop with dbus and display servers and IPC left and right might standardize on systemd

The point of the anti-caking agent is to prevent the cheese from sticking to itself, which inherently affects the texture of the cheese in your mouth... it doesn't stick to itself the same way freshly shredded cheese does, particularly if the cheese is soft and sticky like processed american cheeses.

I think trans advocacy is interesting and different from gay rights because it goes beyond "live and let live" and is also an ontological battle. That is to say, it is a battle not just for equal rights, but over what people think, believe, and desire.

It ask is not just for the right to exist, but to be placed within the gender heterosexuals are attracted to and accepted as no different. In this way, it lacks the libertarian arguments of gay rights.

The movement is is inherently cultural and poorly suited for adjudication the legal/political sphere. Courts and laws can't make people love, accept, or believe someone is a given gender.
Yes, the first amendment is restricted to that, but you proposed some statement would be supportive of freedom of speech. But instead it is contradictory to the definition.
I disagree, this is true, but the failure was complex and worth understanding some extra nuances:

* The design of the reactors made them unsafe in a scenario where you needed to quickly insert the control rods. Doing so should reduce power output, but due to their graphite tips, it led to a sudden surge of power output.

* Leadership repeatedly didn't listen to or believe what they were hearing from boots on the ground.

* Leadership took a "it can't be that bad, let's wait and see" approach instead of a cautious approach.

* Add to this that boots on the ground were afraid to stand up to leadership.

* This repeatedly led to delayed reactions to the problems, and an increase in the severity of the outcomes.

* All of this combined with cooling failures, led to disaster.

(Heat and pressure accumulated, the reactor didn't have enough water, and then when control rods were finally reinserted, they sped up the reaction instead of slowing it down... boom.)
After perusing the article, I'm thinking that maybe Ferraris should be more like Volvos, because crashing at high speed can be dangerous.

We have independently confirmed that we are getting traffic designated for other servers on our serverauction root server at hetzner. Pretty sketchy feeling to have this be the case for a hoster on the scale of hetzner.

Yeah, agreed! I titled my guide "Practical IMAP" for reason (and almost called it "IMAP As She Is Spoke"). The standards are useful to a point, but actually to jeffbee's point the internet has evolved a lot since then, and how to actually work with modern email is a pretty underdocumented - including by Google themselves on the Gmail-specific parts.
> most of them were doing so to the accompaniment of a screeching dial up modem

Most of them were using it either at work or their university (often one in the same) and so had much faster connections. Dialup did exist, but it was still a small niche that was just starting to get someplace. Even when you had AOL, you typically were still in the walled garden not touching the internet itself.
oh man that's awesome. I have been working for quite some time on big taxonomy/classification models for field research, espec for my old research area (pollination stuff). the #1 capability that I want to build is audio input modality, it would just be so useful in the field-- not only for low-resource (audio-only) field sensors, but also just as a supplemental modality for measuring activity out of the FoV of an image sensor.

but as you mention, labeled data is the bottleneck. eventually I'll be able to skirt around this by just capturing more video data myself and learning sound features from the video component, but I have a hard time imagining how I can get the global coverage that I have in visual datasets. I would give anything to trade half of my labeled image data for labeled audio data!

There is no societal solution for this right now, as far as I understand.

I'm only saying that places like these exist—smaller, walkable, pleasant, safe cities designed for families and communities. These are just a few that I have found in my life.

And, keeping it real, it's reserved for people with money—if there would be good jobs there, too many people would come, and the large population problems would emerge.

It is sad.

They are indeed under a legal obligation to disclose "material" cybersecurity incidents. For people who want to see the details, here's the SEC release https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023-139

Now will the SEC enforce against oracle? In this environment I highly doubt anyone at the SEC would have the appetite but I could be wrong.

So will any investors with standing choose to bring a civil action? Could well do it. There are for sure investors (eg Elliot) who in general would fight anyone at all if they thought they had a case. I don't know if there's anyone like that who had a position in Oracle specifically, but it wouldn't suprise me.
Around 2 million people take the SAT every year.

A score of 710 on the reading portion gets you into the top 5%.

So there are ~100k students who scored 710 or higher on the reading portion of the SAT.

Those students are the ones I'm talking about. I claim that anyone who can score a 710 on the reading portion is above the level of capability that the author of this post is complaining about.

Some evidence for this claim, a score of 710 would put a student in the top 10% of a "regional public university", but the same student would be in the bottom 10% of Harvard or MIT students (probably would not get in with a 710).
In other words, the author of this article is complaining about a capability level which is the overwhelming majority of his school, but ~0% of the students at the best schools.

Sure, but it's clearly something different than people assembling in the town square to flesh out their issues with each other, as democracy was originally seen. Semantic arguments are dumb.

In theory, which is why the name is as such, it need not be any different as the elected employees are only supposed to take the message from their local town square to a central meeting place where, with all the other town square results, things are compiled – to be tarred and feathered if the message changes in transit – but in practice nobody shows up in the local town square and leaves it upon the employee to make guesses about their wishes, thus becoming dictators out of necessity.
