Apple is consistently worse on privacy than alternatives. Don't let them get away with it, or everybody will play Apple's game of just pretending that they care about privacy.
“If anything, that would seem to suggest that these impose a bound on how much we can automate.”

Why would this be?

All automation is now built on top of already automated processes.

The level of automation we can achieve isn’t obviously bounded by human cognitive limits.

The level of human participation certainly is.

Also the notion of requesting more storage in an unlimited buy is a no-go anyway for me. Don't try to sell me unlimited something and then get weird when i use it as labeled. Ugh.
Yeah, I especially like it when I'm in the middle of a long email and some sort of click with my palm happens and it deletes most of what I've been typing. Just happened to me today. Be nice if there was a way to totally deactivate the trackpad if you were using a mouse or something.
Simple truth of the matter is, they don't even know if it's "Russia". Nor do they know if it's state sponsored. This is pure politics from politicians who don't understand how Internet works.
It's just a film set. Pretty simple to make, probably put that together in about 5 days plus planning!
Wikipedia says 40 IU of vitamin D is equal to 1 microgram, which would make 100 micrograms equal to 4000 IU [1].

Your laptop chose to override an existing WiFi/LAN connection to use a tethered phone USB connection? That seems highly unusual. I plug my phone into my laptop all of the time, and the tether has never overridden my WiFi. I've never had to use it, but macOS allows you to order the available networks according to your preference. Did you perhaps do this and forgot about it?
> The actual measurements work differently. It's been experimentally proven many times that at the moment you look at your marble, the other marble's 50/50 probability of being red and blue shifts substantially to, for example 75/25. And that's without it having any way of knowing that you've seen your marble. So there are hidden variables that we don't understand, but they're not local. They somehow affect both marbles.

The rest of your explanation was super easy to grok (thank you!) but this part I can't wrap my head around. If the balls can be red or blue, and it's 50/50 before, how would the probability go to 75/25? I would expect it to either stay at 50/50 (no change) or to 100% (because the other ball is known).

Can you elaborate on this part? This is really fascinating.
The aperture doesn't necessarily have a theoretical effect on image quality, though it will certainly impact the depth of field, and will be shallower at higher focal lengths for the same f-stop. Also, in practice, due to impurities and imperfections in glass and other inefficiencies, there will be effects, though they can definitely be managed and are always trade-offs. Usually with aperture it's well worth it to increase the aperture.

What you'll find with professional glass lenses, with variable apertures, is that sometimes you do need to decrease the aperture (higher f-stop) to get the sharpest possible image from the lens. At wider apertures you're collecting more light, from closer to the edges of the glass, at higher refractory angles, travelling through more glass, and thus sharpness goes down. The other side of the aperture though, aside from DOF, is that it lets more light through, so you will also get more flexibility in general on trading off proper exposure time vs motion blur, which is great for low light handheld photography.

I would expect for mobile lenses, though, since they know it's a fixed aperture, they've done their best to mitigate those effects, aside from the fact that your DOF is definitely fixed since there's no variable aperture on your phone camera lens. Honestly the only way to know for sure is wait for somebody like DPReview to run the camera through their test suite and get some objective numbers/photos to see what, if any, impact there is from the wider aperture.

A DOF calculator can be a helpful resource to get a gut feel for the relationship between the various inputs that affect DOF. e.g. https://www.photopills.com/calculators/dof
> the adornment and “deepfake” transformation of the human face, now common on social media platforms like Snapchat and Instagram, was introduced in a startup sold to Google by one of the authors;

Uhh excuse me but deepfakes were not introduced at this company. It was a mobile qr and image recognition technology and that is all. I should know because I was the lead tester of this technology at Neven Vision. They must be talking about DeepDream a google project by the company founder many years later.
Nothing about Gatsby or React by itself gets you non-validating HTML. The article has some W3C validation errors, but they seem to be caused by a few CSS errors they made themselves, the choice by their chosen CSS framework to put <style> tags for components directly in the page body next to their component elements, and their chosen code highlighter's choice to use <div> tags inside of <pre> tags. I find it surprising those two tools do that, though I wouldn't describe those issues as having anything to do with the rest of the ecosystem. (I have a Gatsby site using the component CSS library Styled-JSX and the code highlighter PrismJS which don't have those issues, and the site only has a few validation warnings that are purely from my own html. Apparently <section> tags are expected to have headers.)

Haha oh man, I'd love to see some ideas spitballed for this.
I know and interact with a handful of Haskell devs, some of whom even work with it full time. Some of the ideas behind Haskell intrigue me, but I'm a complete idiot. Now everyone is going to say that you don't need to understand the different theories behind purely functional languages to learn Haskell or know any math, but I'm not quite convinced. Just the vocabulary alone of most Haskell programmers I talk to seems foreign to me. I'm not just talking about half-jokes like zygohistomorphic prepromorphism either. The dictiob used in normal programming discussion makes no sense to me.
> Consumer inflation actually is inflation, by definition. This isn't being confused, this is understanding how inflation is defined and using terms correctly.

They fail to make a distinction between monetary inflation and price inflation which is the reason for the (intended) confusion around the term 'inflation'.
This is a part of the standard, nothing really Apple can do about it.

On Paxos: The following already seems wrong. AFAIK the proposal number space must be divided across proposers. If all proposers use minNumber+1 replicas will diverge on the chosen value.

Broadcast(r, MessageType.Propose, proposalNumber);
}
I'm surprised that Apple didn't add a fix or workaround to unlock the phone while wearing a face mask. Should be plenty of features to recognize a person or the mask can be added.

It's really annoying to loose the unlock with your face feature and go back to entering the code while outside.

Yes they did.

When you give people stimulus checks, they spend it. That money enters circulation. It winds up in the pockets of businesses. And from there to the owners of said businesses. Which, since they have money and this is a horrible business environment to invest in, means that money goes into assets. Which drives up the price of the assets.
Welcome to the lives of people that prefer smaller phones.
I don't know if this has been remarked upon, but I kind of appreciate the diversity in the presentation. It's not showy or contrived; Apple doesn't make a huge deal out of it, but it's nice to see a wide variety of genders and races.
It looks like he's launched two products that have gotten a little traction on Product Hunt[1].

I agree with you. I wouldn't give this the time of day. If he hasn't built out a successful product before, then he has no track record(as you say experience) to back up his ideas.

Definitely get tested so you know what your levels are. You can tell your doctor that you are taking Vitamin D supplements and you want to measure your Vitamin D and Calcium levels. That should be sufficient for them to approve the labwork.

You can also test your Vitamin D levels via a homekit that you mail in. This is one example:
https://www.everlywell.com/products/vitamin-d-test/
What do you mean by product design here? Tbh, I couldn't tell it apart from any other recent phone, let alone iphone.
I assume, for the sake of my own sanity, that "observation" means the particle becomes a cause for some kind of effect, e.g. colliding with something in a way that changes the something's state. Quantum mechanics experts, please don't tell me it's weirder than that.
Google drive is a pretty amazing failure though.

Dropbox use has only increased and MS bundling Onedrive with O365 was genius.

This summer I spent about six weeks making an effort to get as much sun exposure as I realistically could. I'd do 20-30 minute dog walks in the afternoon in shorts and no shirt, plus a few bike rides per week, also shirtless. I didn't take any vitamin D supplements and, as far as I know, wasn't eating any food with added vitamin D like milk.

At the end of it I did one of those mail-in vitamin D tests, and it put me at 40 ng/mL. Depending on the source, that's very bottom edge of the acceptable range.

Walking around with your shirt off feels pretty weird, and I can't imagine most people would even be willing to do that. And of course it's getting into the rainy season here in the pacific northwest, so there's no sun exposure to be had no matter what you do.

Seems like, at least for someone like me who works indoors, supplementing is the only option to stay within a healthy range. I figure humans are just not adapted to wearing a lot of clothing and staying indoors all the time. I'm now taking 5000 IU per day, and I plan to take another test in a few months. Subjectively I can say that I feel far better than I did a few months ago, but that could be placebo or due to other factors. Still, I'm pretty convinced I should be supplementing vitamin D.
Norway has enough friends they believe they can count on. They are probably right.
Recently we had an article by a doctor posted on here claiming that taking 5000IU a day had given a lady debilitating cognitive problems due to problems with calcium regulation. Perhaps people need to get their levels checked regularly and adjust accordingly?
You can, and I know a few people who work with it, but from what ive heard theres very few positions out there so you hace to be very good as opposed to just an average Haskeller.
As background, because healthy people tend to get out more there's always going to be a correlation between health and vitamin D levels. That means that most media articles gushing about a new vitamin D to health link are almost always worth ignoring. However, in the case of the Covid-19/vitamin D negative correlation it was much bigger than you'd expect by that route. Then someone actually did a randomized controlled trial and found a protective effect.
The magic is in knowing which trivial API commands to call to make the infrastructure match the desired state.
I believe this is due to vitamin absorption, our body requires fat to absorb certain vitamins. Some are fat soluble, some are water soluble. Just depends.

More like building a completely different persona for each family of languages. “Learn a bunch of substitutions” approach only goes so far, your language specific part of identity must be separated at where thought processes for languages diverge and necessary new parts must be built.

Philosophers deny linguistic determinism(a notion that language sets the ceiling for thoughts) but that’s just talking Turing Completeness.

Because it provides a fixed target that can be targeted with confidence by both developers and also the makers of any alternative browser (of which about 4 are still listed in global browser market share statistics).

Those who complain that right now the browser market is dominated by a couple of players seem to be entirely oblivious to history.
I was tempted, but my partner has an Android and I'm pretty sure these can't even function as a basic Bluetooth speaker for non-Apple devices, so unfortunately it's a no-go. Apple got this right with AirPods: special integration with other Apple devices, but basic functionality with everything. Hopefully they will with these too one day.
The demo stated that iOS will only use LTE by default and only kick in to using 5G when it needs it. It will be interesting to see how it makes that decision.

As a global company Facebook is not bound to pay US workers US wages. Around 300$/month is the Median wage for a call center job in India. They could pay ~3x as much and sill have plenty left over for the overhead involved.

Even just assigning call centers based on the callers country of origin would be dramatically cheaper than US wages for everyone.
The APIs required for Spotify to support HomePod are available, but as usual Spotify has yet to take advantage of them.
Right, I just mean that's it's not connected to the lightning port. Apple's lightning-3.5mm adapter conceals a small DAC inside compared to Google's approach on the older Pixels where USB-C just carried the analog signal which I think was a better, albeit more complicated, design.
Because the alternative (Apple) is a company that produces worse products that breach my privacy even more. You cannot get your location on an Apple device without also sending your location to Apple. You cannot install an app on your iOS device without telling Apple. If you want to make your own apps for your device, you have to deanonymize yourself even further with banking details.

If you want better privacy, don't continue to let companies who lie about providing better privacy get away with it. So far, I haven't seen Google deliberately lie about the privacy of their services. That should be the bare minimum that we expect.
yeah, that was pretty much my point. The article wasn't trying to show what language is easy to guess for K/J speakers, it was trying to show what language X sounds/reads like to speakers of languages A and B, where X was a major influence on A and B. In the article, A and B are K/J and X is Chinese. In my example, A/B is English, and X is French/German.

I study both Korean and Japanese and I agree, knowing some Korean helps with learning Japanese. My korean friends who speak both fluently say about as much as this article: it's almost a replace-in-place similarity, so that seems to line up with your account as well.
Me too, although it has two fails:

0. Oval buttons instead of round. In terms of usability a larger target is better, but in terms of design style a loss.

1. It has buttons on both sides so it doesn't have a totally flat side for setting on its edge. Also, the camera sticks out.

Otherwise I appreciate the return to the classic look even if "mini" is still larger than the oversized model 5 body.

The key technology design dimension cell towers of almost any generation gives you is the the ability to tradeoff cell sizes and numbers of nodes with density of users. Maybe 5G gives you some incremental improvements on that, but it was always possible to put in more towers for more users.

US telecom companies in particular have always been at loath to share any cost savings with the end consumer - so I don't think consumers have any reason to be exited over marginal 5G gains on efficiency.
I’ve heard it’s more like no one gets enough from the sun as that would take practically being naked in the sun all day everyday. Much more exposure than the typical “just be outside for 20 minutes.”

It is also supplemented in many “functional foods” - but they tend to be dairy products and nondairy products haven’t followed the trend.

I’ve internalized it as a good reason to have blood work done no less than every 1-2 years for blood levels across the board.
Oh that's great! I wonder if that will interfere at all with typical Apple Pay use, presumably not.
In order to expand credit, banks need borrowers that demand credit. Never mind the number of reserves available if there is nobody asking for credit. That's the reason there is not inflation.

In the current economy, a reactivation of the economy have to come from government spending (fiscal policy). Central Banks (monetary policy) are powerless when the interest rate have gone all the way down.

"While Shodan.io shouldn’t be counted on as a definitive source, our best queries put the number of Windows Server 2019 machines with IPv6 addresses is in the hundreds, not exceeding approximately 1000. This is likely because most servers are behind firewalls or hosted by Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and not reachable directly via Shodan scans."

High priority issue, but I dont think we will see some massive wave of outages.
So, just to give you data on the other side of the curve: the very large trackpads are basically the only reason left (keyboard now sucks, magsafe is gone) for me to use a MacBook Pro.

Should I in the future revert to Linux as a day-to-day driver, it would probably be conditioned on similar-level support for the (even larger :-D) Magic Trackpad peripheral.

So I guess this is one of these things where YMMV

Edit: FWIW I'm a touch typist with relatively small hands. Maybe this has to do with it. I cannot remember accidentally triggering the trackpad ever since... I can't remember the last time, it's been at least half a decade.
I believe you can generally just capture a scene with a lot of dynamic range (say a person standing in front of a flat wall with the light falloff ranging from dark to overexposed) and then zoom in on a frame and you'll see more or less banding because of the tough decisions the capture device has to make on what data to throw away/reduce and what to keep
Bluetooth used for Homekit stuff IMO.
5000IU is a rather large dose and her dosage was not adjusted. Beware of that author's potential biases: doctors are heavily invested in getting you to pay them more money even though they might cite humanitarian (and very patronizing) reasons for doing so. But, having vitamin D be easily accessible may be the better course of action. A similar scenario is sceen in India where most antibiotics are available OTC, something "unthinkable" in the US.
> Now that we've rejected the AI philosophy and refuse to use the AI way of thinking and remember and center the human, what have we gained?

Very simple. If we contextual ever the contribution of the people, then why if it that Google captures most of the value of search ads, rather than the people who created the web pages that Google scraped? Why don’t they get a greater say in Google’s comment policies and ranking biases, including influencing which algorithms are appropriate for which context?
Apple shares plummet as Chinese online video platforms drop Apple's iPhone event
Indeed, small companies. I don't have the right pedigree to make it through hiring hurdles at big companies. Despite industry name recognition and 11 years of experience I get filtered out because I never went to college. HR / People Ops / Recruiters tend to not know enough about the technical roles they are hiring for to gauge skill, so they go the lazy route and use college degrees or BigCo work history as a proxy. If you don't have a degree you can't get BigCo, so you fail on both fronts. Department heads and small company founders can tell if you know your stuff or not with a simple conversation. So that's what I've optimized for when looking for work. Routes to those people and around normal hiring filters.
