As Marco Arment once said, if Soulver isn’t open he’s not working. Rings true for me as well. I almost always have it running to help me through some calculation or more complex modeling. Highly recommended.

Do you how fast these waves travel versus sound in the atmosphere? Or, how these waves themselves might sound qualitatively when they shake nearby structures in the air?

On more than one occasion, I think I've anticipated an earthquake based on sound. I can only describe it like an approaching but amorphous activity, a bit like when large flocks of birds take to flight over an open field or when a wind gust goes through a forest.

I think I've noticed this sound only with relatively nearby epicenters (5-25 miles). The very distant ones usually seem more silent and my first recognition is the jiggle and displacement, or perhaps the creaking sounds of the surrounding structure if I am indoors.

Here's some data to inform:

https://aaafoundation.org/rates-motor-vehicle-crashes-injuri...

From this, 60s is peak age range for driving safety.

In the 70s people are still good.

80+ are still pretty good in the "All crashes" and "Injury crashes" categories (a little better than people 25-29, a little worse than people 30-39), but they are really bad in "Fatal crashes" -- even a little worse than 16-17yo.

Digging into the fatalities, the spike in deaths caused by old people are themselves and not passengers or others.

So I guess the motivation for driving tests for old people would be to protect them from themselves and should apply to people 80+.

If we want to protect people from bad drivers generally, we should really want to do something about 16-17yos (just pushing back the driving age might not do it because inexperience is probably a significant factor). Actually something like more monitoring/training/tests for drivers, say, 16-24 would be the best place to start. (Drivers 25-29 are also a problem, but presumably if you improve younger drivers the older age range will take care of itself as the good young drivers age.)
With 36 antennas it would average out to some extent, but since propagation in air is very near that of vacuum already, I don't think a °C or two makes much of a difference.
Adopting Prettier within a Large Codebase
Yes, and we turned around and codified all of that so we can't easily do anything different. For example, as noted in the article, developers are REQUIRED to supply parking in most locations. Looking out my office window, there's a sea of surface parking. If that was legally mandated, the developer could in-fill with mixed-use and some of us could live literally right next door. Instead, the closest I can get to work is a bit over a mile down the road.

Of course you would have that problem, it would just be even harder to get around and to get things around or to go anywhere.

The reason why people choose to live further out is among other things to get more nature for their children, it is to get cheaper houses, it used to be safer etc.
FERC Alters Energy Forecast, Suggesting Even Brighter Future for Renewables
> I wonder if there's a market for an alternative "browser" that loads "native" code (or as close as practically possible) and runs it in a sandbox.

Electron comes close, but many don’t like it at all. (I have somewhat mixed experiences, I love VS Code but I’m not too fond of Slack.)
> It has nothing to do with creating a user friendly experience.

This is absolutely not true. Think about any kind of dynamic dashboard or data management platform. Having full page reloads for any minor change to filters, etc, is simply an unacceptable UX. But it has to be web-based because you need to be able to access it from any device, anywhere, without installing an app.

Plus, on a personal level, there are many services for which I will never install a native app—because I don't use it often, or because the native app provides no added benefit, or for one of a hundred other reasons. Those services don't get my business if they don't have a web app.
Shape Up (by Ryan Singer of Basecamp)
I didn't propose replacing the GPIO, or the camera port, or the other display port. I'm talking specifically about the other ports around the sides of the device, which are already used for more traditional computer-y things. Of course the Pi needs to retain its built-in low-level I/O, but it has another side to it too, and that's the side I'm talking about using Thunderbolt with.

Note that I wrote structure and not internal structure and I did so intentionally. As far as we know elementary fermions - quarks and laptons - have no internal structure but - and I am totally not a physicist - there are the Higgs mechanism, the seesaw mechanism, selfinteraction due to vacuum polarization, and other things I have never heard of. As far as I know, this is still an area of active research with unresolved questions, but I think it is also generally believed among physicists that all mass has a dynamical origin.
“... In some cases, teams use the audio of users’ voice requests as training data—all anonymized, Apple says.

> We leave out identifiers to avoid tying utterances to specific users, so we can do a lot of machine learning and a lot of things in the cloud without having to know that it came from [the user],” Joswiak said. In other words, Siri can learn things about users as a whole without tapping into individuals’ personal data.

> Apple holds on to six months’ worth of the user voice recordings to teach the voice recognition engine to better understand the user

> After that six months, Apple saves another copy of the recordings, sans user ID, for use in improving Siri, and these recordings can be kept for up to two years.

> The training happens on Apple’s servers, but the models only start practicing what they’ve learned when they’ve been deployed to your device.

> Once on the device, the models begin to run computations on things you type or tap into your device, or on things that are seen in the device’s camera, heard through the microphone, or sensed by the device’s sensors. Over time, this creates a massive pile of personal data on the device, as much as 200MB worth.

Er, you definitely don't need to bulldoze everything. You "just" need to upzone everywhere and build lots of public transit. Upzoning has negative price (since you get more tax income). Public transit is expensive, and building new subway lines is even more expensive, but it could be less expensive if the US could build transit lines as cheaply as they are built in Europe.

It is hard, but it's mostly hard due to a population of motorists who have confused the privileges granted to them by the state with rights.
Even a professional athlete would have difficulty “jump[ing] out of the way” of a vehicle (or anything, for that matter) traveling at 25 miles per hour.

>To me, category 3 is the most dangerous. Tech workers have a responsibility not just understand the technologies that they work with, but also educate themselves on the societal implications of those technologies. And as others have pointed out, this extends beyond home speakers to any voice-enabled device in general.

Yes I'm frequently amazed how many coworkers I have that are still completely plugged into Google, Facebook, Amazon services/spyware, fill their homes with internet enabled "smart devices", have alexa/google assistance etc, and yet they act like I'm paranoid when I try to discuss security concerns or just flat out don't care.

As much as I hate to say it, I think there needs to be a massive breach or abuse of power from one of these organizations/services that has severe real world consequences for those that utilize/support them. Until then nothing will change.

On my dell xps fedora is noticeably more performant compared with Ubuntu. Also I prefer vanilla gnome experience to Ubuntu’s tweaks. Gnome is a beautiful desktop and I don’t see what Ubuntu are adding that’s worthwhile.

I didn’t test it with Ubuntu but did notice couple of problems with dell’s docking station after I’ve upgrade to F30. Mostly random disconnection of USB!?! Keyboard which won’t reconnect unless I plug it into the laptop directly.
I've been using Soulver for ages, I have Soulver 2 from the Mac App Store. It's a terrific little scratch pad, I love the ability to naturally interleave notes/language with arithmetic. I was unaware that there was a Soulver 3, however, as apparently they are no longer using the MAS as a distribution channel. Just a little top level note for anybody else like me that came here off the vague title alone and wasn't aware of Soulver 3.
A paid, Mac only app which could fairly easily be implemented as a plugin to any popular text editor... I'm not sure I understand the appeal - what am I missing here, please? :)
I challenge you to commit to a vegan diet for 3 weeks and let me know how your body feels. Personally, I'm much more energized and more productive than when I was 4 weeks ago eating meat everyday. I breathe easier, my sleep has improved, I dont feel bloated. And to top it off I'm reducing my carbon footprint.
This is a false dichotomy. Most (all?) contemporary high-reliability (and, arguably, high performance) filesystems are long structured.

I don't care that the Touch Bar is there. (It was distracting to me at first in that it lights up and changes icons when I switch applications and it is usually sitting off to the side as I prefer to type on a real keyboard. I disabled most of the distractions.) But why can't we have both the Touch Bar and a set of real function keys and an escape key?
You could also compare this to hospitals sending voice files to India to be transcribed. This is not automated at all. It's not clear that hospitals are any better at getting informed consent for this than Google.

Dear Google, I'm Blocking You from My Website
I understand ML and I'm concerned, but my position isn't "how can we train models/collect data in an ethical way?" Its more like "Do we really need to train models like this?"

I continually come back to the same thought: The Amish (to take a random example) consume probably thousands of times less than I do. They do without the conveniences of technology which I "enjoy". They have neither computers nor an endless stream of distracting media and social interactions.

Yet they are probably, on average, as happy as or happier than other Americans.

These technologies don't really exist to serve people - they exist to create profit, and they do that by meeting superficial needs.

There is great potential for machine learning to help the human race. But the vast majority of energy dedicated to the question by the information megaopolies isn't invested in that direction except under the most facile sorts of hypercapitalist justifications.

We should, in short, regulate data collection and analysis into oblivion, with exceptions made only for democratically determined use cases which serve the public good.
That's group 4. How is worrying about informed consent not just a subset of concern about the ethics of collecting training data?
People have never heard of ML. They think that there's a computer that listens to what they say, then does it. If they are interested in technical stories on tv news, they may think that what they say is sent to a computer at Amazon/Apple/Google/Wherever and the command is sent back; if they are not, they think that their phone is the computer.

I mean, we've told them that we're on the verge of AI (and to fear it), and we can tell a two year old to do something and they do it without having to hire somebody to help them understand us.

No. What you want to do is enable DoH on the pihole itself.

This would essentially enable DoH on all the computers that use the pihole as DNS, assuming you're not worried about people snooping on your own LAN.
If people did that, we'd indeed not need crypto miners or the huge amount of ads that we enjoy today.

Also note that the small uptick the last couple of years is closely aligned with the opioid epidemic, and even then is still basically flat since the turn of the century and down significantly from the peak in the early 1990s.

Still possibly an example of companies choosing profits over lives, but the companies in this case are the drug companies.
and how are they going to enforce the NDA? contractors are being paid peanuts in bad working conditions - firing them might land them a better job elsewhere, and they don't have any assets to sue for any kind of monetary damages.

It seems even worse than this - I'd argue your voice is personally identifiable information! The vast majority of these clips open with "Hey Google".

Meanwhile, Android allows you to personalize voice commands based on its ability to recognize that a specific person is the one saying "OK Google". Voice authentication has already reached high accuracy with a few seconds of unconstrained text, or a few words of fixed text. Voice identification on open sets takes more data, but sub-minute clips are still reasonably effective.

At the very least, Google itself could make a credible attempt to identify whether the speaker in any voice clip heard by Google Home is a regular user, and plausibly de-anonymize users of OK Google. More alarmingly, we're told that about 1 in 500 Google Home clips is heard by a human, and this employee apparently shared "thousands" of clips with a news organization. It seems plausible that anyone with access to any large voiceprint database could attempt to obtain clips from a random contractor and de-anonymize the most interesting or salacious content.

> Now imagine the amount of energy it takes to: Grow the feed to feed the animals

Animals are fed from crops, which sequester carbon from the air. Carbon atoms make up about 15-20% of most animal's mass. A 1000 lb cow would have sequestered 200 lbs of carbon out of the atmosphere. Some of which will be re released when eaten, but not it's not as simple as just saying "look how much energy goes into feeding a cow". Because most of that energy comes from crops - cows don't eat gasoline.

> butcher and transport the meat/dairy in refrigerated vehicles, store/prepare/cook the meat, etc.

All of which had to be done for plant products as well.

In reality is that going vegan isn't going to have a significant impact on the environment. About 10% of the US's carbon emissions are from any kind of agriculture, and animal products are a fraction of that 10%.
Probably joy of having good looking and easy to use specialized apps.

Of course “emasc can do anything” is ages old argument, but should it?
I've done a fair bit of testing with mine, have even modded my left cons with antenna extensions. There are two issues at play; first, the analogue sticks are crap and a bit of dust, human adult usage, frequent usage, or some combination of the above, makes the sticks register even when they're not being pressed. This results, for example in; if I put the Joy-Con down on the table while in the eShop, it'll bounce around every item all by itself. if I'm in a game, it'll keep walking in a particular direction until i flick/tap/move the stick to stop it.

The second issue is the signal one (hence the antenna mod). I'm an adult male with large hands (I can practically hide an entire Joy-Con in one hand). If you close your hand over it completely, it'll drop signal (the left on in particular) because it has a PCB antenna instead of the off-board antenna like the right con, it also doesn't help, that if you touch the metal strip on the con, you likely ground the signal as that strip becomes a shield; In normal use the metal strip is oriented to the open part of your hand, but with large hands, you're going to touch it anyway.

This second issue with signal loss, causes a very similar effect, in that (usually) the last direction pressed before the connection dropped will continue until it is reconnected.

I'm at 2/3 of the book Sapiens (so I haven't finished it yet). Thus far, I can highly recommend the book in order to understand more of the current world politics and history. Heck, I believe this book great material for high school (though it does fit with many history lessons I had). I fully disagree the book is "just a regurgitation of the neo liberal manifest destiny". I don't understand how you can get to that conclusion. I haven't seen Harari trying to support any of -ism. From [1] you can read he is Israelian (therefore probably Jewish though I did not confirm), historian, openly gay, vegan. I did not see any specific support for any of these -isms. All I read is explanations on why humankind and humanity is the way it is.

I'm sure there's a name for this effect, but I am always fascinated by the complaints about fake products on Amazon. I have _never_ received one and I spend several thousand on Amazon every year.

I _know_ it must be happening, I just can't understand if I'm lucky, if it's an effect of my location, or somehow related to the way in which I shop on Amazon.
And another FYI: Soulver 2 is still available on the Mac App Store for $9. Whereas Soulver 3 is on their website for $30.
....hundreds of millions doesn't solve climate change.

Mostly oligarchs invest their money in companies. So, they own shares. They could sell the shares to someone, and then they have money.

So, suppose you had a net worth of $10 billion in shares. You now have the same in liquid wealth.

How do you stop climate change? You seem to think it is easy to do with money, pieces of paper and ones and zeros in a bank account.

What do they buy, off the shelf, that solves the problem, easy as that?

You could perhaps buy rights in an oil field and then refuse to mine it. That would help.

You could fund research into solar cells or invest into the market. Though investing money isn't what makes a venture successful: customers actually have to buy the resulting product.

So how do you use your $10 billion to make people stop buying carbon? You seem to think it would be very, very easy. So tell us what practical step they could take, on their own without popular support. Simply by being an oligarch.
And how do you plan on solving overpopulation? Rich countries already have birthrates below replacement threshold. Do you think that reducing them in India, Nigeria and other developing countries is the most effective and feasible way of combating CO2 emissions?

I think not. While the number of humans certainly contributes to the total amount of pollution, it is not, in my opinion, the "only environmental problem".
If you are suggesting that we aren’t able to say we’re at all time lows due to a lack of good long term historical information, then you also can’t draw the opposite conclusion that we _aren’t_ at at an all time low. We simply don’t know. But I’d bet it’s highly unlikely that a lack of measurement and/or recording led to better results.

I do agree that trust is probably at pretty low levels — exactly because communication is more accessible than any time in history and therefore people have more opportunity to question authority.

But a lack in trust doesn’t translate directly to violence. I think that people are becoming very complacent with distrust. The daily media barrage of reasons to distrust so many things has reached the point where it doesn’t cause outrage anymore. It has convinced some people that distrust is normal.
