If you remember electromagnetics from your last physics class, with a little bit of studying it wouldn’t be hard to pass the entry level technician’s exam. It’s a 35 question test from a public bank of 200, and you no longer need to do Morse code.

Radios are also inexpensive these days, and a Bao-Feng for $50 will usually be strong enough to get you to a municipal repeater. In the Black Rock Desert, I was able to get about 1.5 kilometers between two of these little radios. You can’t legally broadcast from them without passing the exam, but anyone can listen (that’s the answer to one of the questions on the exam!)
Again, I think you're giving the author the benefit of the doubt when it's not warranted. Your paraphrasing "science itself is insufficient to understand the world" is code for dualism.

I forgot to add the reference in the comment above but tacit means what I said it meant. I quoted directly from Wiktionary [1]. I'll do so again here:

Adjective
tacit (comparative more tacit, superlative most tacit)
1. Expressed in silence; implied, but not made explicit; silent.
tacit consent : consent by silence, or by not raising an objection
2. (logic) Not derived from formal principles of reasoning; based on
induction rather than deduction.

I chose the "logic" interpretation as it seemed the most appropriate given the context.

It’s irrelevant to bring up iSight’s shutter because they are totally different products. It was literally hundreds of times larger than the cameras we’re talking about here; so it makes no sense to expect a shutter on these just because iSight had them more than a decade ago. That’s like saying that a racecar should have folding seats because a minivan might have it and they are both vehicles.

I never defended AWS as being the absolute best. I said high bills are almost always due to developers and not the cloud provider. Which you haven’t argued against.

As I said I have examples of how Developers often cause large bills.

And I explained why we can’t help with the OPs large bill.

You’re saying that with ML there is absolutely 0 way to reduce costs on AWS which is absolute rubbish.

I had the same question and went with .co. I think .io is falling in popularity due to dns scandal. More and more people are using .dev now and .ai is also ok.

Problem with .co is people tend to assume it's a typo outside of tech (eg my bank).

A lot of startups I follow moved to .com after a few years so I assume there are more pain points that I haven't discovered yet.

My intuition for ranking is something like

.co

.dev

.ai

.io

>I'm not clear what you're describing with "flexbox scrolling"?

"position: absolute" can be used to disrupt the two-way size propogation. Without it you either get shrinked content on y, flexbox wrapping problem on x, scroll appearing on a wrong element in some cases (or cropping for "overflow: hidden"), or you have to set width and height of the block with scroll using css "calc()" — all these solutions are ugly.

>My reasoning is that I want to prevent elements from overlapping and obscuring important information

The most simple example of overlapping elements is a background/border. You can look around this page and find a lot of overlapping graphical elements — it's not the problem, but overlapping text (and other content) is.

"CSS is awesome" example formally has no overlapping DOM elements, no "position" attributes. It's just a block with "border" style and "width" set to some fixed amount. Often this problem happens without border on the block and remains invisible, unless two such blocks are really close together and the text begins to overlap. Still no "position" involved though.

Some speech is not protected, some speech is judged harshly, all along spectrums. Speech doesn't exist in a vacuum and may be criminal, inorderly, trollish, moderated away, unheard, misinterpreted, untruthful, etc. If there are better approaches, people should be steered in better directions. Sometimes a jolt is needed, but continued bullying is usually on the bully. A bully may also be bullied, but the outcome is rarely educational since some people don't bother to care. Besides, bullying works against socializing.

Just action need to follow some due process. Mob rule becomes medieval. Even because modern technology platforms enable despicable behaviour, which speech is part of, does not necessarily protect because of free speech. Freedoms to hurt others need be limited.

When people lose interest in the whole, only to fancy duality, there's no dialogue happening, only escalation.

Speech doesn't imply much consequence beyond enlightenment, when people learn to listen and appreciate diversity.

Speech seems worthless compared to right action. Principles and freedoms mean nothing in isolation.
This could be mitigated simply by adding other pads/spacers with the same thickness around the screen bezel. This would reduce cracking chances, though maybe pressure right in the center top-bottom and left-right could crack the screen due to the gap between the screen and keyboard.
AI and data science learning [audio]
I don't think people are suggesting folks in Africa have a lower IQ, they're stating that they have less training an expertise (required for this type of manufacturing). I guess the big question of this is the case is how to get people there skilled up. I wonder how China did it before becoming a manufacturing juggernaut.

I've been working on mainstream media content for broadcast and streaming services heavily for the last 10 years. I figured it was only a matter of time before they did something like this. At some point, the ad dollars and need to be profitable take control.

To be honest, I think this will go over very poorly. Once content becomes inundated with ads, we tend to just move on to something less intrusive. I'm not sure if views will drop, but there's a massive economy at stake here and media is a far more fragile ecosystem than most think.
Just FYI, Africa is not a country. It’s the second largest continent on earth.
When Will AI Take Over?
There are people who don't want Google's "innovations" as they turn browsers into monstrosities that nobody except Google can maintain, and already have turned the web into the pile of shit of content marketing (with like 500 trackers on every site), service lock-in, cesspool of polarizing clickbait and propaganda, hopeless web app crap, and place where content creators get screwed that it is today. Saying this as someone with a very heavy time investment into web tech. Compare this with the useful web we used to have 10 years ago. Apple is no saint, but there's a difference between resistance to social-engineer open standards into a monopolistic enslavement machine and race to the bottom vs "stifling innovation".

Yet another reason to buy something better than a MacBook. :) Don't get me wrong, I used to love Macs. But they really started screwing their own prosumers, ohhh, back in 2011 when they made Final Cut Pro X into a "for dummies" application, rather than the professional tool it used to be (this is a discussion all on its own btw, and while it's not clear cut, the change wasn't welcome at the time). From then on things have mostly gone down hill. That year marks a clear change in their philosophy, from prosumer-made products and to a far more consumer and fad-based focus as a "luxury" brand. Except the whole premise for buying Apple products used to be that they were better for professional production environments. I really hope they'll get back to this tried and proven mode, instead of what they're doing now.

Not all jurisdictions forbid what that clause forbids, and even in some jurisdictions where it would normally be forbidden there may be circumstances under which you're permitted to do so, so it's definitely intended to forbid you from doing things that would otherwise be legal.

No. It is not necessarily a claim that it can't be crossed, it is a claim that we currently lack the knowledge and resources needed to cross it.

Better in what sense? India might be poor (not a bad thing for attracting investment) but it's stable compared to Africa. South Africa is sort of stable but not compared to India and overall there's just no reason to invest in a region where you might have all of your equipment lost or stolen. Altruistic investors might feel differently of course but by definition they care less about returns then most other investors.

If there is some sort of ethnic basis for differences in intelligence (independent of environmental factors such as poverty, culture, etc.) what would be the practical implications of this data?

It seems to me that in the future, economic value will be correlated with the ability to work with increasingly abstract things (which I assume IQ is trying to measure).

Wouldn't the natural tendency to value human worth based on their IQ? Of course not, you might say. But imagine there's some future with a permanent underclass of lower IQ people, subsidized by very high marginal tax rates / UBI. I can see our human nature justify some sort of social Darwinist policies.

Edit: what a weird tangent this thread has taken.
> It hasn't had a chance to impact the secondhand market yet.

I do think we're talking about different secondhand markets--or at least different large sections of it. Buying/selling working Macs aren't affected. That's the only one I've ever dealt with. I do think I was wrong above about non-working Macs--I do think there will be no resale value if they had a T2 chip.

> I find the "theft" argument very hard to swallow...

Multiple cities cited 25-35% drop when activation locks were rolled out. Personally, I've only had iPhones stolen before this. I do think most are crimes of opportunity, but a large chunk, especially if they're stealing multiple phones, know how they're going to unload them. But, I don't think this T2 repair thing is relevant. I don't imagine thieves parting off stolen phones because it's not worth it. Even organized crime.

I do agree Apple has misrepresented the situation and right to repair is one of the few topics I write to my representatives about.

It is extremely unlikely (in the human terms - not possible) that LED would break in such a way that it transmits the power and not emit light at the same time.

Of course the LED can be installed in a parallel connection on the circuit, but I read the op statement as it is not the case.
Hopefully generics will help with this, if the middleware can deal with T then the calling code can “smuggle” whatever types it wants because it controls T.
I don't have any strong opinion about if the author is a proponent of dualism. I'd note that Quantum Bayesianism[1][2] (discussed the other day on HN) seems much more mystical than this, and yet is usually considered within the realms of science.

I build neural networks in my day job. They encode tacit information because they are "based on induction rather than deduction". But that's not anything mystical - it's just learning from data, and it's not a dog whistle towards mysticism either.

In the article `p` really does take a list not a function! Haskell lists may be "backed by" functions but these functions must be pure - no back-channels. I'm not sure if this fact illuminates or obscures the point.

Anyways you can't pass a closure to the predicate, and the Haskell version has no "back channels" other than termination. The idea is to arrange the recursive search so that the predicate (not the search) demands the bits. This is what terminates the recursion, and it's hard to arrange without laziness (except by introducing more functions as you say).
You're right that the Open Source Definition doesn't define the term "open source" - usage does. But common usage of "open source" still means "something that meets the open source definition", not "I can see the source code". There are some people who use a different definition, but it's a long way from being well accepted.

You could connect the led to a capacitor, which would be charged when camera is connected to power, and would discharge powering the led for a few more seconds after power is disconnected.

But yeah, I wouldn’t trust a led, because I can’t reverse engineer the circuit that’s in my particular device.
Yes, I think that’s a legitimate concern. I can’t say I haven’t started videoconferencing software with a thumb over the camera ;)
Carefully. Singapore just went through a general election, ~2.5M votes cast at 1,100 polling stations. Citizens were assigned a polling station and a 2-hour window to go vote. Masks required, distancing enforced, sanitizer and disposable gloves provided.

For the ML models you can also switch to dedicated server providers, such as:
https://www.dedispec.com/gpu.php

For storage, there‘s always Wasabi / B2 with S3 compatible interfaces. If the data itself is not changing that much, so regular backups are possible, just use some dedicated storage servers with hard drives and install MinIO. Do not rely on S3 for outgoing data (much too expensive), use a caching layer on another provider (OVH , Hetzner, ...), or if it fits your workload, Wasabi („free“ egress).
Fun article indeed but the data the author has collected, however, is sloppy. Being Turkish, I needed to verify "mantı" on the binary coded features table I and saw, to my dismay, that only the "steamed" is marked "1" among the cooking options, which is wrong even if you consider all variations. Even the wikipedia page correctly states that it is usually boiled or baked.

The same goes for the paper ballots. You don't need to fix the vote everywhere.
It stands for Poor-experience Web Applications. It’s basically website + more JavaScript to get some features somewhat working without network. It’s marketed as the next generation tech for mobile web application but the truth is that without access to the underlying API it’s hard to even get close to native capabilities. And as the web is already super bloated I don’t think it would be a good idea to add more.
I last had it two days ago. Zencaster: requires Firefox or Chrome, won’t work with Safari.
The same problem was discovered 15 years ago in Java :)

The first attempt to fix it was to use dynamically generated proxies.
The IAdaptable mechanism proposed by Ken Beck is an example of that for Eclipse [1].

This was ultimately fixed by introducing default methods which is as restricted way of implementing Traits [2] in Java 8.

I guess Go will have to follow a similar direction.

This one is one of the most solid points. Remember Tim Apple saying "When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don't consider the bloody ROI."?
> ...and if whomever is coercing you to vote a certain way can also prohibit you from voting in person, you have bigger problems that border on kidnapping and illegal captivity.

Nonsense. You have whatever problems made your vote susceptible to coercion in the first place, no more and no less. It's not necessary for the other party to physically prevent you from voting in person. All they need to do is observe whether you do, and punish you accordingly.
You might have misread me, but I could have been clearer.

A distinction can be drawn between someone who has the benefit of a wage where they can save money, and without. If the options are, work somewhere that pays just enough to live, or perish - it's not really an option.

Let's say that someone who, in an alternate universe would have the aptitude to work as a Software Engineer in Silicon Valley, happened to be born in the poorest province in a developing nation, and the only options available were work day and night, with enough pay for food and lodging, no internet access. Is that the same as someone born in Europe, has public education, access to the internet, uses the library, becomes a developer, gets hired by FAANG... etc?
