> However, some insect species, such as houseflies and cockroaches, appear to be on the up.

If this trend continues, I wonder if we will see some species previously reliant on spiders for food (birds?) switch to more cockroaches and houseflies. More likely, we will see a radical restructuring of what we consider to be "common" species.

For instance, hedgehogs and sparrows - incredibly common in my own childhood - are apparently quietly disappearing from places where they were previously abundant. What will replace them?

The problem is incentives. If you are the only chip in town, who cares if you go for a long lunch and aren't that creative in pushing performance limits? Capatlism creates winners and losers, and creates incentives for people to try their best to not be on the losing team.
Somewhat of a tangent, but does anyone have a recommendation of an open source (ideally python) program that can make MIDI from piano audio?
Outside of programming, language can connote and suggest. It doesn't need to unambiguously and objectively define, particularly in a way that necessarily aligns with your specific "interpreter" (yer noggin!).

Methinks engineers oftentimes forget this. I feel like yelling, It's English for Chrissake, not some RFC!

There's nothing wrong with nitpicking. Details are important. I think you're accurate, just not focused on what's important. Would an editor ask your question? Event within the realm of non-clickbaity titles, I think "Evolution" does pretty well. I think the question to ask is, even if I can make the word more clinically accurate, does it make for a better title?

It's sort of like a English major who comes to programming and obsesses over the etymology of words in function names (trying to create a etymologically cohesive network of names) and about the poetic imagery and rhyme of code comments. All valid efforts, in the right domain, but in the programming domain that English major ought to just focus on clean function names and clear concise comments.

But hey, that's just my aesthetics. It seems normal and common for me, but maybe there are some people, yourself included, who want blindingly clear accuracy everywhere (suggestion and connotation be damned) because that's what's beautiful and feels right for them. I get that too. So if you're like that or similar, then you can take my comment a valid effort in the wrong domain, too!
I'm guessing that they evaluated the patents before Motorola got preliminary injunction against Apple.

IIRC, fewer than 2-3% of all patents actually survive and are upheld in patent trials, so they are not probably wrong when they say 48% of Moto's patents are worthless, but that isn't saying much. Take for instance, Apple's design and utility patents asserted against Samsung in Germany. All, 100%, of their patent and claims were invalidated, and declared worthless. I guess Moto's 48% is far better than 100% worthless. The key questions re: Moto's patents were their applicability, not their validity. Moto had filed lawsuits against Apple and Microsoft before Google bought it -- the court had to address Moto's appropriate FRAND licensing fee for SEPs (802 wireless standards and H.264 video encoding standards) and proper court jurisdiction.

IMHO, there is no reason to believe that Moto acquisition was a waste of money and, considering Android's popularity and success of Android today, despite threats from Apple's patent trolling (and even Microsoft), Google's strategy patent strategy worked well.

That’s a surprising expectation given that they funded and created the Internet.
If you block it, it leaks memory until it crashes the device
In the podcast he said two days was average. And on frequency, he called them medium.
That could just be an unlucky coincidence that you have two with some kind of hardware fault... Sounds best to just RMA them. None of our Ubiquiti stuff does anything like that so I can’t believe that’s in any way normal.
I wouldn't consider those to be matters affecting your life, career or business. They're really just interacting the news, like a hobby. Without the news, you wouldn't be interested in those things, and as a bonus, you wouldn't have the common (ie fairly useless) yet distorted mental models of the world that it gives people.

I have a more concrete example. Around the year 2000 I finished a computer science degree and was doing postgraduate in another subject. But it was getting boring and I decided to quit. My professor asked what I'd do next. I told him the plan I'd had all along - fall back on my CS degree and get a job as a programmer. What I didn't know, because I didn't read the news, was that the dot com crash had just happened and you couldn't get a job as a programmer. So I didn't, and spent a year or two unemployed.

Well, for one it crashed your device periodically if your network was not set up to allow that connection.

That's more than plausible, it already happened.

They fixed that, but now, what's in the telemetry they're sending? Any bugs causing it to send PII in any circumstance?

Bernard Sanders is also a good candidate if only for the fact that he would make a beeline for environmental change the second he's elected. He's been fighting for this his whole working life.
Zuckerberg went to Washington in September & October and took care of that. While he was busy with several other topics, you can be sure he leaned on the right members of Congress about TikTok.

The US has a very strong interest in every possible regard to protect Facebook's dominance and to kill or restrain TikTok by forcing it apart from Bytedance or burying it through the app stores.

If it gets separated from Bytedance it's either toast or it ends up in the belly of a US giant (or maybe even Spotify depending on the valuation).
Wow, can't really trust anyone nowadays. I feel like its a losing battle that privacy conscious people are fighting. It feels like every single company is edging towards this dystopian future.
i grewe up on a 1.5 hour busride each way minimum. often stretching to 1.45 hours . first on last off going over the staten island verazanno bridge to get to brooklyn for 8 years.

then i moved to manhattan in 93 . by 95' i had eschewed the amazing subways for bicycling everywhere and walking at high speed when possible.

now i ride a scooter.

i'm tired of academic outsider articles about micromobility and its psychology. i am living proof of it.

walk, bike, and use public transport, when necessary latee at night, take cabs, or crash at your friends houses, or even strangers houses sometimes ( i know it's not always easy or super comfortable but it IS almost always safeish.

ultimateley-----it's all about population density and distance-time-energy to your destination , the parkability of your ride, and the easy of return.

in general unless we build the city of the future. 'apps' and the hive brain areen't yet on the cusp of changing everything. and contrary to popular belief, self driving cars aren't the answere to eliminating traffic lights ( traffic) .

paradoxically the tech beehind them is solving a far more difficult problem than a router or 'robot air traffic controller' for cars----which would be far more eeffective in eliminiating traffic by ROUTING it.

self driving is not 'stupid' but it's not the answere. the asnwer is routed cars and seelf parking , NOT seelf driving.

will scooter and bike share help? maybre but not much. it'll help those intrepid souls who bike and scooter on the streets of new york.
Do you have a car, or are you constrained to sites accessible by public transportation?
If we let them they will do it to PC's eventually too. We have to fight for our rights. I think cell phones have normalized it for far too many people.
It hasn't for me. If I didn't have any direction, sure. But if there's something I actually want to learn, it's easy to find a good source and then hold my nose to the grindstone.
How is Samsung's 7nm production going? I read that IBM will be using them for their next gen POWER architecture in a couple years.
So I've been interested in whitebox networking and sdn (linux on switches/routers) what is the equivalent closest to Ubiquiti for APs that runs linux?
Wow, this is truly the end of privacy as we know it if true

But here lies the dilemma: do I trust them? If I put in a rule to block their telemetrics, would USG honor that rule? Not just now, but after some firmware update that 'breaks' something. Or maybe I have to put another box in front of USG that I actually trust to be certain that call home got blocked. And even if I block this call home, maybe it changes to something else in next version or the next that now needs to be blocked as well. And maybe the data being sent home changes to more draconian over time as the marketing department gets greedier. And so it goes.

When I buy [network] equipment, it is my expectation that since I own the HW, I am to a certain degree in control of what they do and to whom they 'talk to'. And call-home / telemetrics without at least opt-out just doesn't sit well with me here.
Hate it.... I do not want a site to have access to my information before I even open an account... even if that's just some anonymized ID created for the task.

Ironically, you must sign in with a social media account( facebook / twitter ) or google / github to even use this site..... Single Sign On crap just leads to your whole life getting hacked if something happens. if I cannot setup an account with a unique email address and password, I will leave.

I've worked through a couple of these lists and a few of the projects. My take on them is that many of the tutorials are not vetted for quality or even completeness. I have several projects where the author of the guide essentially 'gives up' 60-80% of the way through, usually in the most difficult stage of the process, in what can be described as a 'rest of the fkn owl' result.

Also as someone who easily succumbs to analysis paralysis, this has made it quite difficult to motivate myself to start another one.

Cleaning waste and Consolidating are almost opposite functions, I believe it archives the memory and waste together. I suffered from a traumatic event and simultaneously forgot about a bank account I opened a week earlier. Seven years later I tried to open a new account at the bank, was reminded about the account after getting into an argument with the manager, and the trauma returned in the form of insomnia and nightmares.

An under-appreciated point. All heirarchies impose some degree of conformity, whether they are corporate or government. The market is in fact a very non-hierarchical structure, and provides the necessary space for creativity.
There's a thing that archaeologists do. Sometimes they come across a site that may be valuable but that they can't be sure they will be able to recover things without damaging them. Maybe there are pockets of empty space in the ground whose shape is very important, and they don't have the right kind of imaging technology. What they'll do is just stop and note it for the future, so that in a few decades new tools may become available that will allow us to get the information. To do otherwise would be to risk losing that information permanently.

Nature is not dissimilar. Sure, it's conceivable that one day we might be so technologically advanced that we can easily modify the environment on a whim, recreating extinct species or being able to perfectly model the ecosystem and tweak it. And maybe we will opt to not have an environment and live off of solar energy or something. But we're centuries from that, and we don't know for sure that we'll ever be able to do those things. So, what's the responsible thing to do? Like the archaeologists, we must keep the environment around until we're sure we'll be okay without it.

Have you applied to Mythic AI?
It is a little more manual, but I think the end result is a little faster during use. This half second delay you mention doesn't happen with my library of over a thousand books. If I had something more automatic, I'd still want to be able to use bibtex. I like having the same interface for reading and citing, as well as the same for both reading books and reading papers.

I bet there is a command line way to export a bibtex library, so it could be automated in elisp. It takes seconds though, and I only do it a few times a month. Doesn't matter though, I settled on this workflow because I was already using bibtex regularly for papers. Probably makes less sense if you aren't already happy with bibtex.
An interesting alternative approach for instrument sound separation is to use a fused audio + video model. So, given that you also have video of the instruments being played, you can perform this separation with higher fidelity.

The first time I drove my own car to the mall and parked it deep in the huge parking lot, I went in, did some shopping, then realized that I had completely spaced on remembering where I parked, because every other time in my life, whoever was driving took care of that for me, and I just followed them back to their car.

I'm sure there were times I remembered where my driver had parked, but until the first time I drove to the mall myself, I wasn't in the habit of conscientiously making note of where I parked.
Yes.

That's a huge attrition rate as well, hard to believe none of them were pushed out either intentionally or by some of the same signals you're seeing.

I completely agree. Those that can go on a news diet are either privileged or indifferent.

If you have aging parents who are on ACA, you want to be informed about any upcoming changes or what a new president cound bring to the table.

If someone you know is struggling mightily with student loans, you'll want to know if there's any relief coming soon. My skeptical SO would say, "but what's the point? Are you going to be able to change anything?" No. But it's about empathy and basic humanity. You want to know what might be in store for those that you care for, even if you can't influence the outcome one bit.

I know people that are DACA recipients. Will they be ok in the near future?

Again, I think it comes down to empathy.
For better or worse, Google Sheets functions (written in App Script) are allowed to have side effects. Though when invoked in cells, you don't have full control over when they're actually recalculated (there seems to be complex caching), so you need to plan your side effects accordingly.
Good study on optimum efficiency.

It's not that it looks slow, it does a very good job at loading fast what you see first, and preloading the rest before you see it. The problem is that is keeps preloading and preloading content even after you've reached the end of the page, just in case you need it.

It is heavy but looks fast because you pay for it in advance, and it looks and works great. Well, except for the bit about needing an iPhone or iPad to see the airpods in AR, I'm sure it could have been done in a more compatible way.

Edit: gave in and opened the AR bit on an iPad. it's just a non-interactive 3D model of the opened case with the earphones shown, that you can spin manually or image in your desk and spin yourself around it. Nothing actually interesting.
That's just not the case; Apple were already well behind in performance at the point x86_64 came out, due to them being stuck on POWER. They actively moved to x86, despite big compatibility issues, because of how much better they were.

The evidence is that architectures are just not as important as all that. x86 is clearly pretty bad in many ways, but clever tricks and microcoding have been able to overcome those issues.
Even if they have millions of followers, it can be totally unremarkable. For example, if Kim Kardashian tweeted on this issue, it would be just as dismissible as this person with 42 followers.

In a world where all their statistical arbitrage has ceased to be viable, financial professionals believe that the outsize returns of the Medallion fund in recent history are siphoned from their institutional funds via shell games.

Then, their famous ability to make money even in down markets is attributed to how they smooth out an extremely profitable short term trade, that may have occurred years ago, over the course of many years. This sort of surfaced in their tax avoidance lawsuit too.

You too can make a "Medallion Fund." First, make a venture investment in something that turns out to be Facebook. Keep that equity secret, even when Facebook goes public. All that time, say that your fund has gained 15% year over year, even during a recession. Do this for years until you have taken your 2% management fee to your liking. You've turned your 200x return that happened all at once into something that looks like the world's greatest hedge fund. Lawfully of course.
