We're talking the first 30 days of the war. Singapore hadn't fallen yet, nor had Djakarta. Even though Darwin had been bombed (and my grandmother said that left her convinced that the whole country was about to be invaded) in reality Australia was a long way from Japanese forces. (Of course so was Hawaii).

I was wrong by the way about French Indochina which had been taken after the fall of France.

So hairy, but not as hairy as it would be two months later. They couldn't know that at the time of course, but they had little choice. The only other alternative would have been to stay in Aukland and then be sucked up into the US war machine as MacArthur retreated to Australia.

> the linux codebase be radically smaller ?

I believe Linux isn't built the same way the Smalltalk system was. One glaring difference is the use of C - with that you can't get very high level and are always programming at a very low level. You also force all integrations to be at a very low leve, given how the ABI and syscalls work.

You can do quite a bit more if you use a higher level language with very good meta programming, for instance Lisp or Smalltalk. E.g., you could imagine very high level abstractions that get translated to lower level logic automatically. Unfortunately, this is not an area that has been extensively adopted IMO, and the mainstream thinking is we need to use lower level languages for operating systems and such.

> supposing intel gave use the possibility to reprogram a large set of its assembly instruction using microcodes

Actually Alan Kay has been critical of Intel not doing this. It may not affect Linux much but it will definitely open the door for systems using more advanced techniques, specifically the ability to build high level emulators. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15282739 for more.
Modern Bluetooth is nowhere close to a half-second audio delay. I was concerned with this in the past, but with modern headphones and codecs it is not an issue anymore, there is virtually no delay.

When they removed the CD-ROM Drive, a lot of people complained how they could possible do that, because apparently so many people used CDs a lot because in the real world internet connections often are not that fast etc. You will always get these kind of complaints but the majority will accept eventually and in a few years nobody cares anymore. I think it's better that way because modern bluetooth is really good (despite charging) and enables innovation in other areas.

> I hate to be this guy but Steve Jobs would have fucking eviscerated the team that produced this.

I'm pretty sure the very similar numeric spinner issue on iOS has been around since Jobs was alive and running the show, so the idea that he would have reacted swiftly and decisively to an issue like this is not merely unverifiable speculation, but contrary to what (inconclusive, to be sure) evidence is available.
You are correct. Luminance is a real number not integer so the more bits the better (unless you go all they way down to photons!). So, more bits allow us to increase the dynamic range and also allow more values in that dynamic range.

The real benefit of HDR is in the "more values" part since, as the author notes, our displays have a very limited dynamic range anyway.
You can include capacitive inputs on a PCB in many cases for essentially zero cost.

You also don't need to engineer attachment points into the product chassis, and assembly is easier.

In addition, they can improve the lifespan of the product because they don't wear out nearly as fast, and they don't provide ingress for dust and water.

Capacitive inputs have many downsides, but at scale they are certainly cheaper on average.

In your particular case they may not be cheaper due to other design considerations.
I think they were trying to deescalate, and your reply is more aggressive than necessary.

FWIW, "disingenuous" carries the connotation of intentional deception, i. e. making an argument in bad faith, because one knows that it's wrong.

In this case, I can understand where the defence of Android's implementation is coming from: the original description amounted to "plain text in the filesystem, but the name ends in .mp3 so nobody will find it", whereas the reality seems to be a slightly less elegant solution that can probably be subverted by a dedicated nation-state, but is unlikely to ever make a difference in most people's lives.

From the author's (funnier, better) blog post on the subject:

>Second, the people who get low IQ scores, are shocked, find their whole world tumbling in on themselves, and desperately try to hold on to their dream of being an intellectual – are not a representative sample of the people who get low IQ scores. The average person who gets a low IQ score says “Yup, guess that would explain why I’m failing all my classes”, and then goes back to beating up nerds. When you see someone saying “Help, I got a low IQ score, I’ve double-checked the standard deviation of all of my subscores and found some slight discrepancy but I’m not sure if that counts as Bayesian evidence that the global value is erroneous”, then, well – look, I wouldn’t be making fun of these people if I didn’t constantly come across them.

You got that right. This will never happen.
You don't want to encode brightness perceptually until you're showing it to the user. You need a linear space to actually do lighting calculations, which means physical luminance values. Within that space, you can use whatever scale you wish, with consequences to banding and quantization artifacts for decimating the bit depth. Tone mapping includes conversion to a log space via the gamma curve.

I explained it in another comment but basically the "20 bit" value is based on an idealized digital image sensor rather than a game rendering pipeline (which operates in floating point). It has admittedly proven somewhat confusing.

A lead nucleus is much heavier than a neutron. Think of a billiard-ball colliding with a bowling ball -- the bowling ball is hardly affected and the billiard-ball keeps most of its energy even if it changes direction.

But a hydrogen nucleus is just a proton, and thus about the same mass as a neutron. So this results in lots of energy transfer, just as with billiard-balls hitting one another.

Like many plastics, polyethylene has lots of hydrogen atoms. Sticking them onto a carbon spine is a very efficient way to pack lots of hydrogen nuclei into a given volume of space.

I'm on AB and my friend is on Cochlear; he's always amazed at the terrible service I get and the prices I pay.

> I get upgraded for free every 7 years.

I trade mine in for replacement (on my dime) because it's completely broken every 4-5 years.

> A pack of 50 batteries will cost me $30

A single battery runs me around $200-300. My charger breaks all the time too, so that's another $100-200 depending on what's broken... how are you getting a pack of 50 for $30? What do you even do with 50 batteries?

I have four that I cycle through (the big powercels) but that's because I apparently have thick skin/a thick skull and I only get 10 hours of use out of a battery rated for 20+.

Edit: Oh -- misread! I thought you said you were on AB, but you've got a MedEl. I don't think I've ever actually seen those... they weren't even an option at Hopkins when I was going through the pre-screening. The two options I got were AB and Cochlear.
I got what you meant, I just meant that if you had a 3.5 mm jack, you wouldn't have these problems, it would just work. We've replaced a very simple, cheap solution that works very well and has very high fidelity with an unreliable, expensive, complicated one that has worse sound quality when it works. Your problem could very easily be avoided with very old tech.

Interesting. Bored before bed so ran a quick test using my iphone7 and Ios 11.x, Google's stopwatch.

The time from wake to photo was ~2seconds (using the lockscreen short cut).

The time from wake to home screen photo app to photo was ~5 seconds.

*

I had to start the timer myself then go back to using the phone so I believe I could cut ~500ms.

Since I have Live Photo enabled, the 2-second shots actually have a few frames that are sub 2 seconds.

Going to the homescreen was accidental. In each attempt, I attempted to use the lock-screen camera shortcut.

As a whole, the experience using the iphone is too unpredictable to be reliable for quick reaction shots (< 3 seconds). A number of times I either: bypassed the lock screen, didnt get passed the lock screen, unlocked my phone to a different app, and on one occasion, the camera app paused for a few seconds before focusing.
For anyone that want to see this in action, but doesn't have immediate access to an iOS 11 device, here is an quick video that shows what happens:

> Everyone is all about trusting science and medical professionals

To counter this, I'v been reading a lot lately about how science has a publish-or-perish problem / unreproducible results problem / influence by industry problem.

And the medical profession / pharmaceutical industry is complicit in the opium epidemic. Many of the medical drugs, doctors use, outside of infectious disease control, don't actually work in the sense that you take them for a period of time and are cured.

It is the fault of government department dietitians, and their political overlords, that we are in this obesity / diabetes / heart disease mess.

Given the traditional dietary advice of "eat less fat, start your day will a bowl full of sugar and milk" is wrong, is it any wonder people are making so much noise?
An average high schooler is able to understand the math involved in DL, but not even the leading researchers can explain why certain things work better than others, let alone predict what will work better.
They all solved problems. For example you can't carry 10000 cds with you everywhere you go. I can't see what problem Bluetooth is solving apart from allowing companies sell more consumer grade junk. I'm not even a die hard audiophile but Bluetooth headphones take the biscuit. Shittier quality audio (and generally build too) for double the price and you have to charge them too.

If there was ever proof that we are brainwashed by consumerism in the same way the North Koreans are by the Kim's, Bluetooth headphones is it. Total worthless junk yet people still drop non-inconsequential amounts cash on it and rave about it.
If you find such a thing, and it isn't completely godawful, let me know.

I also only need one hearing aid. Luckily I was able to get it from Costco ($800, free exam) and insurance picked up 80%. This year insurance changed such that the hearing aids are mail order and are more expensive than my co-pay at Costco.

The one hearing aid scenario is problematic for any sort of headset. If I use earbuds, I can only hear well in one of them. If I were to spend the extra money to get the bluetooth accessory, that would only go to the ear with the hearing aid.

I'd love to be able to input my audiogram into my phone and have it adjust the headset amplification at various frequencies in each ear accordingly.

Even better would be for noise cancelling headphones to be able to also use an audiogram to have the headphones act as hearing aids when not in noise cancelling mode.

Making the world better by breaking things
Ideally, you need a mic and a speaker inside each ear so sound can be localized by turning the head. You can put the electronics and battery in a separate box, but wired is better than bluetooth/smartphone because it's hard to get the latency small enough with BT and a smartphone. (This is tougher with Android than IOS.) You don't want the direct sound leading the processed sound in the ear by more than a very small time. Probably single-digit milliseconds, IIRC.

Someone with the knowledge really needs to add quantities to the destruction caused by specific actions. E.g. using this plastic causes this much pollution which kills/disrupts this many biological organisms which prevents you from getting these resources. Then it needs to be wrapped up in a holistic vision of what life will be like in 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 years if you continue this behavior . This visualization should also allow you to input your childrens ages and show a representation of them at the age of particular scenarios.

I just checked now and there is a very slight lag, maybe on the order of 100-200ms. It's pretty subtle though and I definitely did not notice it before you mentioned it. I can imagine that it would be maddeningly slow if it were something like a rhythm game or a musical instrument app though.

This. My 6 Plus is barely usable now, to the point where it is annoying the hell out of me.

I compared loading a banking app on my 6 and my colleagues 7 (closed it before) and the difference is astounding (2-3 seconds slower). Also everything is just laggy including typing and taking photos.

Yes, that's a fair point. I admit I misrepresented the facts.

Here's what the Dietitians Association of Australia[1] recommends:

- A bowl of whole grain cereal with milk, a dollop of yoghurt and sliced fresh fruit. Try adding a sprinkle of nuts for extra crunch!

- A delicious smoothie made from milk, fresh fruit and yoghurt

- A toasted slice of sourdough with some cheese, baked beans or avocado

- Untoasted muesli or rolled oats

- Poached eggs on whole grain toast with tomato, mushrooms or spinach

That seams reasonable to me, except maybe that every one of the recommendations includes grains. Although I don't see why breakfast can't be 100 grams of slow cooked / steamed meat with a bowl of steamed vegetables / a salad.
