I think I don't understand your argument here.

ineedasername listed about a dozen industry-redefining products, which span a 40 year period. You seem to be arguing that, because the innovative product continued to be sold with incremental improvements Apple is not innovative.

* The point isn't that the 1995 Quadra is innovative. It's that the 1984 Mac brought the desktop metaphor to the masses (where it was previously a research toy with each seat costing as much as a house)

* The point isn't that the 2020 iMac is innovative. It's that the 1997 iMac changed how the computer industry thought about the industrial design of home computers.

* The point isn't that the 2020 iPhone 12 Max Excess is innovative. It's that the 2007 iPhone completely changed what a smartphone was, with multi-touch, on-screen keyboard, data plans that actually made sense, desktop-quality graphics and more.

* The point isn't that the 2023 AirPods are going to be innovative. It's that the 2016 AirPods created an entire sub-industry of "totally wireless" headphones.

The original point was the people hold Apple to a higher standard because Apple has a track record of introducing something every 3-6 years that makes people say "wow". That Apple continues to make incremental improvements after the "wow launch" doesn't diminish the track record of major innovation.

Where I disagree with ineedasername is that I think it only looks like Apple isn't innovative right now because the next big thing hasn't been announced yet, and innovations don't happen on a fixed cadence.
It doesn't seem hard to me to get at least a good ballpark estimate on the amount of CO2 we put into the atmosphere, say in the last 50 years. We know roughly how much coal and oil and gas we've burnt so far. Calculating how much the atmospheric concentration changed from that amount is easy enough. I'm sure someone did the math and would've published a paper about it if it turned out that human activities don't account for most of the CO2 concentration change. That would be kind of a big deal.
There are, anything that isn’t a breeder won’t build up enough plutonium or it will burn that too but it doesn’t mean you can’t convert them to breeders by changing the fuel cycle.

To combat proliferation reactor designs aren’t the issue, you need to control the source of the fuel and it’s entire lifecycle.

Building nuclear weapons isn’t hard, but it’s a project that requires a huge investment in infrastructure so proliferation has always been a question of will and consequences not capability.
I thought this meant that Twister was so barebones it would make Raspberry Pi look like a heavyweight desktop OS.

Because you haven't seen what China has done with territory disputes.

South China sea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Phillipines, Tibet, India, Japan.

China literally builds a fake island to claim the territory.

China doesn't aim to trade with us. They just want to take the land.

When US wants to install an army in these countries, they at least make a business deal that has expiry date.

Europe and US are in a very strong relationship. They can work out whatever dispute they have. Europe and US generally want a win-win situation with each other.

Can we say the same about China? Nope.

I wrote this lib initially for use in Home Assistant, https://www.home-assistant.io

For Home Assistant I made a rule that all device drivers are stand-alone Home Assistant agnostic Python packages. That way more projects can use it.

So just because they chose to support Linux it excuses the fact they only do it on their terms? Not really. If they really supported Linux and everything it stands for, they'd merge their drivers into the mainline. If they just stopped arbitrarily limiting the progress of open source graphics drivers it would do wonders for their reputation.

They're not supporting Linux out of good will. They're doing it because it's making them money. There are probably lots of people running rendering servers out there on top of Linux. Those are nvidia's real customers.

I work as a data scientist in one of the largest US healthcare companies.

We ran a similar analysis back in June and found comparable results based on our claims data. People with low vitamin D rates had higher likelihood of hospitalisation and mortality.
Back there were less indications that vitamin D has any effect on Covid severity, and when I presented the analysis to our chief scientist he dismissed my conclusion.

Difficulty in making friends as one gets older isn’t actually a result of age, in my experience. I think as people get older they tend to be in fewer situations where friends are easily made. If you put an older person in, say, college, they’ll make friends just as easily as they would have when they were younger.
Increased CO2 in outdoor air both increases the baseline CO2 in indoor air and reduces the efficiency of ventilation (because the replacement air has higher CO2 too). The math is in the paper and several other comments, but if you passed high school you should be able to derive the result yourself.
I looked through the link and that does not seem to be what he says. He is just talking about how much verification you need to do, like I am trying to do.

It is shortsighted to view making your own ASIC as less secure. The supply chain weaknesses exist whether or not you make your own hardware. Making your own hardware can potentially limit your exposure to systemic baked in vulnerabilities. Additionally, after-manufacture exploits (as in the NSA interdiction of Cisco router shipments) are easier for mass produced goods.

There are likely edge cases involving small, easier to bribe manufacturers, but I'm not sure you can make broad generalizations on that possibility alone.
If you consider total amount of killed directly or as the result, maimed, displaced, impoverished you are right on par or ahead.

Asset prices have grown faster than incomes in the U.S for the last several decades; this trend appears to be accelerating.
In my neighborhood of Boston, YoY condo prices are growing at 8%. On paper I've been paid to live in my condo for the last few years.

<Speculation>

IMHO the method that the Fed uses to inject currency biases towards asset classes by controlling borrowing costs. In an industrial economy, this would typically result in direct investment into new equipment, and an agricultural economy the tilling of new land. However, growth in services or tech is rarely debt-financed as there are relatively low CapEx costs and high opex loads. Given the relative maturity of the industrial and agricultural sectors, there aren't many places in the economy that can productively absorb debt-backed financing.

What we end up with is relatively static asset classes absorbing massive debt-based financing and inflating overall asset prices. Unfortunately, several of these asset prices bleed over as costs to workers who need a home, a rent for their place of business, or an education to acquire skills.

While in a healthy economy, everyone's cost is someone else's income. As long as the Central bank is applying a QE strategy, your cost is a mortgage or a rent backed by a mortgage; the "income" side of the equation is just the central bank.

Asset holders benefit from holding assets that magically increase in price.

I'm not 'old', but I'm not young anymore either, though I still remember it. My biggest personal gripe is my brain slowly slipping. It's just not as fast as it used to be, and my memory not anywhere as good. I was always a person who could remember everything, even playback full conversations in my head. Now I barely remember what I had for dinner a couple days back.

This has affected my work as I used to just be able to sit and code for hours in Vim as I'd have all the function signatures memorized, but now I spend a lot more time in the docs and have to use a proper IDE. I now write more helpful comments, so I can remember why I did something. Also, I find myself having to take notes to come back to later. I wish it was a skill I'd picked up when I was younger, rather than having to learn now.
I've been a conservative. My whole family is conservative. There is no secret I just haven't clued in on in their platform that's holding me back from understanding them. I understand them and their motivations just fine. They are largely just wrong and ignorant on so many issues. There is a reason that it was found Fox News viewers know less about current events than people who don't watch any news at all. It was designed to be that way to build an electorate which refuses to hold their politicians responsible for anything. This level of misinformation was specifically designed by Republicans (Roger Ailes) to prevent Republicans from ever turning on Republicans again regardless of their conduct or behavior. It's all recent history. It's all documented. I don't know why we have to pretend their plan to subvert the democratic process has been anything but a terrific success for them. I don't know why so many people are interested in pretending that both sides are the same.

This doesn't even get into the damage that Republican Newt Gingrich has done to our legislative process, or the unprecedented obstruction put forth from Republican McConnell. Republicans are literally destroying our democracy, and it's right there in plain sight for everyone who isn't a Fox News addict to see.

Not short sighted at at all. It had exactly the effect they desired: no trash to take home.

People quite often do things with intent and in full knowledge that their actions are harmful to others.

Interesting study, but it’s has been suspected for long that vitamin D might have all this effects.

Without being able to see the data, this does not feel right. I would like to see how they did cross-validation, test/train split, assigned weights, proportion of missing values. If you have data, this can be easily reproduced and studied. What if it’s overfitting?

rpi-eeprom is not in archlinuxarm, but rather, I did install it ages ago from the AUR, manually.

There's a new version, which does the trick.

It turns out, the updater does not look online for the latest version as I'd imagine it did, but rather, it looks at a local path, and the hope is that the distribution will take care of the latest firmware being in that path for you.
> Personally, I would rather be worried about the real estate market and office buildings folding in value...

Real estate also has a long-term demographic problem: fewer people means lower demand. We're below replacement rate[1], so as a general class I'd expect real estate to underperform.

My folks sold a house in a upper-middle class neighborhood in one of the best school districts in their state. They owned for 22 years and didn't make inflation on the sale.

> a military engagement

Right. War. Just as in Vietnam, where it was even called the Vietnam War, or in Iraq, multiple times, the Gulf War and the Iraq War. Semantic games are boring.

Good grief, not everybody that disagrees with you has an agenda.
> indoor co2 sequestration device

If you're happy for it to have rechargeable cartridges, you could easily build one with a once/week cartridge change. The cartridge needs to be ~the same weight as all the food eaten by all the people in the building.

The material the cartridge is made from is dirt cheap (literally limestone!), and recharging is a simple matter of heating it up.

With a pipe to the outdoors and some vents on a servo, the machine could even auto-refresh its cartridge every day, making it almost maintenance free.
> But does it matter?

That depends on the application. It probably doesn't most of the time. My point is not that it is always economical to use formal methods, just that I suspect their cost is overestimated compared to the benefit (because most programmers are simply unfamiliar with FM).

> I also don't understand formal methods well, but wouldn't they also be subject to bugs?

Yes, they are. There are multiple classes of errors FM are vulnerable to.

1. In FM you prove your code correct with respect to a specification. But you can make errors in the specification too. The arguments for FM are: a) the spec is much smaller than the program, so the opportunity for error is lower, and spec errors are more obvious; b) often if your spec is wrong, you'll find out when you try to prove your algorithm; and c) combining testing with FM is very likely to uncover whatever errors are left.

2. If your proof of correctness is not mechanically verified, then you may still have trivial implementation errors like mixing up variables and the like.

3. If it is mechanically verified, then theoretically there's still opportunity for errors. The verifier might contain a bug, the compiler might contain a bug, the hardware you run the algorithm on might contain a bug, cosmic radiation may flip a bit during the verification/compilation process, invalidating the correctness, etc. I can soapbox about the implications of this but I will only do that when prompted to :)

So indeed, there is no method that gives you zero probability of failure. But you can get the probability orders of magnitude lower, which may be worth it depending on what you're working on.
Not just indoor. Just google what a 400ppm increase does and look at projections. The IPCC predicts that major cities might reach 1000ppm outdoors.

I’m experiencing the same thing with regard to memory. I’m not sure the cause. While I used to be able to recite full conversations, tell you the color of the trim of that car I was in one time nine months ago, and tell you the shape of the dust lying on the convenience store counter, etc. I can’t do that anymore. But I also think a lot more about a lot of other things that either didn’t concern me when I was younger or weren’t my responsibility.

Maybe now I can’t remember things because I’m not experiencing them as thoroughly because I’m always thinking about something else. Or maybe I just realize a lot of details don’t matter. Or maybe it’s just age and my brain doesn’t work as well. Or maybe it’s accumulated damage of twenty years of occasional consumption of alcohol.
As you can see, people get award in rather old age. Not many geniuses in their thirties, that made great achievement in their twenties.
Ditto. Why did they use the least compelling screenshot on the homepage? The other macos theme is way more like the original. Spotlight search, notification center, dock, etc.
Is there any practical way to have less indoor CO2 than outdoor CO2, without needing to buy expensive single-use scrubber chemicals? Maybe presuming you live somewhere with cheap electricity and/or a cheap fresh water supply?

Basically I’m asking whether there’s a Maxwell’s Daemon-like device for separating the CO2 from the air, and venting the CO2 back outside, while bringing in the rest of the air. Like a CO2 scrubber, but without any need for CO2 sequestration, since you exist inside an open system instead of in a space station/bunker/submarine.
I haven’t learned Rust yet, but in general I like to pick a tightly scoped, well defined problem & try to build that before I look up how to actually solve it. If you’re interested enough to try it, build a JSON parser, which is something I like to do.

Can you provide proof that they did do this?
I had thought that something pretty undeniable was that burning fossil fuels increases the CO2 in the atmosphere. Most climate arguments are around the level of impact, if there's impact, if it's worth the cost of mitigating or how to/who should actually make a change. I've never seen a disagreement on the point of "burning fossil fuels releases co2".

61. Choose your life partner with care.

Three in the morning and a kid with 105 who has been throwing up for a day and you have to decide what to do. A crappy apartment but making a morgage would be a real stretch, no fun for years, and you need to work it out. A job you want but in a place far away from family and friends. These things and many more will be between you and them.

Finding somebody you like, and admire, and who you like to get sexy with, and who has something of the same idea about money as you do, and who wants many of the same things in life, is tough.
Chomsky denied the genocide of Pol Pot and defended the Khmer Rouge to score points against CIA and Western Imperialism.

start here on page 19 of Chomsky's book he wrote in 1979.

Chomsky was dead wrong about his heirarchy of languages and he set back computing by 50 years. He has also been wrong about geopolitics, since he ends up supporting the very Western Imperialism that he rails against.

I mean, nursing home residents are typically older, meaning that they and everyone around them are more susceptible to the disease (meaning it's likely to spread faster and be more deadly). Black and brown people disproportionately work in service jobs where they get exposed to a lot more people; they're also less healthy on average than whites. It seems like there are other very likely causal factors than just vitamin D.
Facts can’t be racist though.
Actually, I thought about it some more. I think a server that spends 99% of its time blocked on IO is "IO bound" even if it's because no one is sending it requests. It's a very different condition than saturating the NIC, but it's still meaningfully waiting on IO. Like, the process has to be spending its time somewhere, and it doesn't know "why" it's blocked.

Maybe the terminology around this could be developed some more.
The most important thing to know about new apple cultivars is that they are treated exactly the same as models. With so much money at stake Photoshop is everywhere.
