Why are people still fighting the headphone issue? Whatever Apple says they made a decision to get rid of it not for the sake of the user but to sell more gadgets to the user. As long as they make a marginal profit with the new headphones vs the old headphone port ones they will not go back. Given that most people aren't protesting by not buying the new phones then Apples has no reason to go back on their decision. Yup, in a few years, the port will be as rare as vacuum tubes in electronics.

Nope, the port is not coming back. It's best to accept that and move on.

Indeed. Just the use of artificial light is enough to mess up with your biorhythm. It would be fair to say that "humans have been out of sync with their own biology" for several decades if not a century. And it's only getting more so.

Ever since I heard about the first Pulsar clock in Dansk [1] I've been wondering what it would take to DIY one. Unfortunately, documentation on the Dansk clock is nonexistent, giving me little to start on.

I hope ESA documents and open sources the work. If the required antenna/receiver sensitivity is not too ridiculous, this might make a cool project.

We have opposite experiences, to the point where I actually wonder if you have a defective set of AirPods. The process for me, on every single one of my Apple devices, is:

1. Put AirPods in ears.

2. Hit play.

There's no step #3. I do honestly wonder how our experiences differ so greatly. For me, it's at the point where AirPods are more seamless than my IEMs, because instead of having to fiddle about untangling the damn cable, I just pop them in my ears and go.

As far as I know everyone I know with AirPods has the same experience as me. Perhaps you should take yours back to an Apple store.

As a possible solution, you can buy a pair of IEMs with MMCX connectors and a bluetooth MMCX cable. This is the route I went with my Shure SE315s that I use while I'm on my motorcycle, and it works pretty flawlessly for me.
>>I have heard that years ago it was prestigious to work for the likes of Infosys

It is, even now. Walk in to any engineering college, and ask where most people want to work. Another dark untold truth of Engineering in India is, Electronics/Electrical branches have a lot better quality students, than CSE/InfoScience. Sometimes it's like night-day. This is because a degree in EE/ECE gives you a diverse range of career options once you pass out. So in the ascending order of ranks in entrance exams, first EE/ECE seats are full. In many cases there are situations where EE/ECE candidates even in tier 2/3 colleges are better than CS students in top colleges.

Outsourcing companies discovered this long back. There is no logic in paying 5x market salaries to CS candidates, when you get 2x better candidates at 1/5th the price.

Secondly, Indian product companies aren't exactly engineering intensive companies. If you get a job in something like FB or Google straight out of college, you are good. For any body else who has to go into Indian product companies, you work on ancient dinosaur era tech. When compared to this, many a times in outsourcing firms you are likely to find better quality of work. This happens all the time. Many times FAANG companies hire these CS top college people, and make them work as sysadmins/SDETs. While some EE/ECE whom they look down upon is working in a code intensive project in a outsourcing firm.

So as a safe bet, playing your cards well. And keeping a good outlook for a large section of crowd, outsourcing companies still work well. Also look at this, if you are optimizing for money straight out of college, and not skills. Then within a decade you will be beaten by those whom you look down upon.

Of course none of this applies if you get into management.
Am curious as to what the so-called "clean" alternatives are: coal, nuclear? A full lifecycle analysis of renewables such as solar and wind, may also not compare favorably with wood, remember that wood is a also a renewable energy source. In some parts of the world, notably Europe, forest cover has actually been expanding, so its far from clear that wood is all that bad. The individual health impacts are clearly bad with current wood burning technology, and it is probably not something that one should be doing in high density urban centers, but on the whole, it seems far from proven that wood is worse than say photovoltaic panels

> such a middle finger to consumers

Aren’t you generalizing all consumers? I am also a consumer and I personally don’t care about jack because I’ve been using Bluetooth headphones for years and hated anything with wires ever since I tried Bluetooth. Not sure why people are trying to make a bigger deal out of it than it really is, it’s not a conspiracy theory against you.
I never see an argument from consumers who agree with the removal more comprehensive than "well I don't need it so it shouldn't exist".

There is no value to consumer in the option for 3.5mm jack not existing on their phone. The phones are not thinner, they are not cheaper, and they do not have better battery life. A phone with 3.5mm will do Bluetooth just as well.

So on what grounds is this decision defended? Whatever the portion of audience that benefits from it, what is the motivation from those who don't need the jack to so gleefully deny it to those who do need the jack?

I can list any number of reasons for why 3.5 jack makes my family's life easier - but why do I have to? Given it doesn't cost you anything, why not give it to me?

---

Reason why I like the option for 3.5 headphones and headset even though I don't always use it

Cheap quality headsets. I do hours of concalls and lots of travel. I have cheap wired headsets everywhere - at home, in office, in car, in backpack. They all sound better, on average, than any Bluetooth because they sound great always. Sooner or later any participant with Bluetooth will go digital or wonky and delay us all while hey reconnect or just remove the darn thing. They are just never 100% reliable to those who have to listen to you, even if you believe their convenience is worth it (and if they don't have a boom they pick up much too much extraneous noise - again which may not bother you but is certainly annoying to others)
I can borrow anybody's wired headset and it'll just work instantly. I can change headsets easily and switch them between phones and tablets and other devices. I can purchase one cheaply and quickly if I loose or forgot mine. I can lend it to others with equal ease.

And oh yes the idea of dongles or inability to charge while talking is just ridiculous - apple never understood business users, with headphones on bottom next to charger that they kept moving even while they supported it - so you couldn't easily use it with a basic dock. The iOS not showing mute on same screen as keypad further shows basic misunderstanding of professional use case... But i digress

.. makes me think you're trolling.

There are plenty of places where people need storage on their side of the meter, and the idea that you can better democratise power supply by having it owned by a large multinational or nation state owned entity sounds ludicrous.

The $20k (I'm assuming that's usd?) for 'a couple of hours power' is just plain disingenuous.

For anyone plonking down $800k for a bespoke abode, spending $30k for gen + storage, with or without grid connection, seems a minor addition to the capex.

I am just finishing reading the fantastic book Why We Sleep [1], and as in so many well-meaning studies and articles, I can't help but feel like this effort is misguided. Just like an addict cannot accept help until they want it, I don't see how "adjusting" work schedules for those who don't even understand their own biology can possibly be helpful.

I've ALWAYS considered myself a night owl. I'm still not sure I'm not. But I've spent the past year rising earlier than I'm used to, and the past 7 months rising even earlier than that due to an enforced carpool with my wife. For the first time in my working life, I HAVE to be awake at a certain time (incidentally, far earlier than I'm used to). Instead of snoozing for an hour, I bolt from bed far earlier than I want to. I go to sleep marginally earlier. But my routine is regular I'm happier. I feel better. I feel healthier. I started reading the book and am acutely interested in tuning my sleep times to make this work even better.

Maybe I've never been a night owl. Maybe I've just had horrible sleep habits. Or maybe I AM a night owl, and I'd be even better off than I can possibly imagine, if I take all of these habits and processes and move them later in the day.

But I just feel like you can't possibly know if you're a morning bird or a night owl until you're already, consistently, religiously, getting enough sleep every night, on a consistent sleep/wake schedule.

Still the same. Thanks to ridiculous salary differences in salary levels and perks.

For eg, if you are a manager you can apply for Green card in EB1 and get it in months. As a programmer, your wait time is an average of 14 years.

That's just one thing. To be a manager in India, is to do 0 work, and reap 100x benefits that of a programmer.
I'm not surprised a public-access TV show about makers shows the "used to have an office administration job" perspective, and her own webpage highlights the "background in one aspect of this business" perspective. I don't think either one is completely true or false.

The point is that nobody ever "hired" her. Take shoe repair classes if you want, or find a shoemaker who will take you on as an apprentice, or just buy some old tools and watch a bunch of online videos. No matter what path you take to learn the basic skills, you'll never end up with a sole proprietorship like that by being hired.
I work at Tencent. From my observation:
golang is extremely popular in China. Except that we are no different from other parts on the planet. Java, C++, python, js are popular too.
Usually no Chinese will be used in the code, programmers try to use English, even if some of them wrote comments with grammar mistakes.
Most internet-companies in China are using Agile dev mode by default.

The day I started using a shaving brush and soap vs shaving cream in a can. I get a closer, smoother shave with less irritation than the canned shaving cream. I love it and I think my razors last a bit longer too. It's definitely a plus for me.
Yeah. I'm coming from the same background, but with some experience orchestrating these systems in production. AFAIK a bunch of the submissions to the various "AGI" awards like Alexa prize use ensembles of models and some way of weighing each one based on a context in order to choose which classifier to trust in a particular scenario. E.g. MILABOT.

There is so much more than one monolithic NN since those are easy to saturate in terms of precision and recall with enough training data and features, but are not enough to provide good UX in any complex domain/ontology. So it makes more sense to have many different models trained on each subdomain/taxonomy so that each can be specialized and then combined orthogonally.

Then the question becomes "how do we orchestrate them?" Well, there is a lot of research from the 80s and 90s that kinda got left by the wayside due to hype cycles (see the last "AI winter"). My faves are Collagen and Ravenclaw. And there is a lot of literature around topic frame stack modelling, which can be combined with various expert systems or other logics. I am currently using CLIPS (PyKnow) with custom Ravenclaw implementation. I believe b4.ai is doing something similar without the logic/rules engine, and actually applying ML to topic selection as well. My systems are goal oriented so I like to give them a teleology for business reasons, which would not suffice for AGI ambitions.

TLDR data science isn't enough on its own. We need engineers to architect things properly to solve problems.
Many types of human-cells don't abide by the classic Hayflick limit, including HeLa cells, cancer cells, and gametes.

This brings up the point: if the cells can indeed divide indefinitely, which even stem cells cannot, then aren't these effectively cancer cells / made cancerified? Perhaps this was done on purpose independently to make the cell culture easier to work with, but that should have been mentioned.

It depends on the cultural context. India is a society of scarcity, and with an over population problem. So people try to endlessly optimize for themselves, regardless of the consequences. And then hoard for themselves.

In other countries, it could be different. For eg, in the Bay Area, I saw similar behaviour, but it was not as intense or at the same level as I see in India.

Sure bad people, exist everywhere in the world. But the socio-economics context acts like a catalyst in the Indian system.
Your opinion is fine, but almost certainly wrong. Everyone has a natural cycle. I think the problem is that we have so many problems with our sleep that are even greater than the impacts of the differences between one cycle or another.

Would you discuss what type of hammer to use in order to break a banana? Apples-oranges is an analogy for irrelevance of properties when comparing two different things. Is that clear to you?
Yes but satellites revolve around us consistently. A pulsar's distance from Earth is dynamically changing according to several distinct systems: the Earth's orbit, the Sun's orbit and the pulsar's orbit.
I agree with what you said, except with "the least". I quit setting an alarm and it already made a big difference. Maybe because I already see the Sun when I wake up and kind of hear the birds. Anyway, there is and AND between all those conditions, more than an OR.

This has been my experience with Bluetooth in general for the last decade.
Floppy drives were dropped at a time when CDs were quite popular and the 1.44MB(or 3.xx?) of storage was obsolete. The same with CDs (pen drives became cheaper and were reusable). That's not the case with headphones. Bluetooth headphones are not only costlier but the sound quality too sucks.

We can't explain how and why humans work, but we have a lot of experience with them. We know their failure modes pretty well.

As to medical treatments, they are done on volunteers under informed consent. If you want to experiment with a car driven by AI on a private track staffed with volunteers, be my guest. It's between you, your conscience, your deity, and maybe OSHA.

But for experimentation and deployment on public roads, you need to convince other, possibly skeptical, people that your technology works better than humans. How do you do that with AI/ML-based systems?
Yup, same for me and I’ve noted my dad as well. We can happily drink a cup of coffee before going to bed.

I don’t really notice being more alert with caffeine, and drinking coffee seems to just be out of habit mostly.

If I drink too much I notice my heart beating a bit faster and a slight anxiety feeling.

The thing is, he might be pragmatic in his assessment of the situation, but when people press him for solutions (not of the pro Euro, not of the pro "Fascist inc intl" variety) he starts listing things out like people aren't already trying to invest in them as if they will be sure bets, while at the same time saying he doesn't know what the future will hold politically.

Idk, long otm calls on BundGreenInc Intl (esp since the Euro and EU has been sold as being "long europe" the past two decades, its a crowded trade), doesn't seem as much as a sure bet as selling those otm calls and using the proceeds to long deep otm puts on grasshopper trash… but everyone in the mean time will write you off as someone who wants to bring death, destruction and chaos to europe if you don't join in on their crowded trade that people aren't even buying now (because they're buying more of "Fascist inc intl" as he admits).
I do this too. I eat a few snacks a day and one meal a day, dinner usually. It works like a charm and I've lost a few pounds too.
As someone using his smartphone as a portable music player every day, I really regret having a smartphone without a headphone jack. Although I agree that using Bluetooth headphones is more comfortable than using wired ones, the loss of sound quality simply is not worth it. Especially the constant static noise in the background while the Bluetooth headphones are active is something I just can not get used to. Unfortunately, it seems that every pair has that issue [1].

> Japan fell from the throne in consumer entertainment hardware as they didn’t do software well. They still don’t.

I've found this to be strange. Japan has produced some of the best video games over the years, especially in the early days of the industry. Games are some of the most complex pieces of software to create, with their extensive math and real-time requirements. It's never made sense to me how they didn't come to conquer the software industry in general.

I used to assume there's a whole world of quality Japanese software that never made it to the USA for lack of internationalization or something. But nowadays with everything open source, I can't point out any particularly visible/noteworthy Japanese projects or developers.

It's odd.
