I have an idea, we can convene special committees where both prosecutors and defendants are given a structured format in which they can present all the evidence for guilt/innocence and counterevidence and arguments. We'll have separate professionals in charge of making sure the structure/rules of the committee are followed so that it's fair, and of course we'll have advocates well-versed in these rules on both sides, but maybe we'll also have a panel of everyday people representing, well, everyone, so that decisions like this remain a public matter as well as professional opinion.

Think of it as something like the royal courts for important decisions of old. In fact, that might be a good name for it: court.

> No, actually Microsoft filed an amicus brief supporting Google's view:

You are wrong to say "No" (but overall partially correct). The SCOTUS amicus is the second amicus Microsoft has filed on this long-running case - initially they were supporting Oracle's appeal[0] to the federal appeals circuit[1] in 2013.

Rough timeline: Microsoft files amicus in support of Oracle in 2013 (on appeal). Project Astoria was killed in 2016. Supreme court agrees to hear Oracle v Google 2019/20. Microsoft files amicus in support of Google 2020. Microsoft announces new Android runner late 2020.

Pollution is also a trade against future humans, though, including your descendants. We should really rebrand “Save the Earth” as “Save Humanity”. It’s pretty clear the Earth will survive us, as it survived the cataclysms that killed the dinosaurs.
Infotainment doesn't matter if it has no features. Where is android auto or apple carplay? Where is a HUD or true 360 camera? High trim Avalon's have all of this, and so does a PHEV rav4 primes which is cheaper and has far more utility then a tesla. Tesla is not actually ahead of anyone one else except in electric power train, "self driving", and battery tech. They're losing the self driving advantages every day to the other manufacturers. Tesla won't be on top forever unless they fix these problems.

And who can forget about it's famously bad build quality? Theyre lucky that electric doesn't have many of the issues that ICE cars do because tesla build quality is terrible and they get away with it due to the simple power train...
It's mostly not about "we need to mine these 100gb of data", but rather pandas-like comfort of messing around with humongous amount of data that is stored in ram, applying some common aggregations, filters, searches etc, and possibly calling some c functions if needed. This just not the use case for gpus.
This is how I feel about people claiming every dissenting view as "fact checked" or "debunked" in recent times; it just throws out any possibility of debate.

Eh. Modern phone cameras produce a kind of synthesized picture composed by machine learning, based on what you point at. That seems to be the direction of travel. E.g. super-resolution based on multiple samples over time and integrated backwards to eliminate blur.

Bars are at the very top of the list, but restaurants are also risky. You won’t find studies, to my knowledge no one has done any.

Restaurants are not usually a quiet atmosphere, at least in north america. This loud volume gets people talking more loudly. Animated talking is common in restaurants: people go to socialize, not to quietly.

Bars are worse, but lack of masks in restaurants make them much riskier than masked activities. What places would you estimate are riskier than restaurants?

I’ll grant that bars are #1, but restaurants havw got to be #5 or so. (I’m assuming also that high risk things like choirs are shut down. If not then that changes assumptions a bit)

Democratized fact-checking won't work. The costs are too high. IF you can find a way to reduce the costs of the general public to fact-check, you might be onto something. But until then, we'll see a few places that sometimes provide signal to the general public but mostly provide noise. This problem isn't simple. If you have ideas, pitch them and build.
3D Engine in DNA Code
I've upgraded both RAM and CPUs on IBM RS/6000 machines (pSeries these days I believe) while the system was running. Very nice capability to minimize downtime.
The procedure is 100% supported. You start by telling the OS (AiX in the cases where I did this) that you are going to remove these RAM modules or these CPUs and the OS let's you know when it has moved everything off of those. Then you remove them and plug in the replacement, then tell the OS that the new hardware can be used. Very smooth process.
Here is the full quote. I think its even better:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals."
Machine Learning by Dr Ng is a classic. I also loved Algorithms I and II by Tim Roughgarden. Sedgewick's Algorithms are also good.
I run Guix System on my laptop. To change my system configuration (think installed packages, installed services, users, filesystem mounts, etc) I would run:

'guix system reconfigure ~/guix/system.scm'

...after editing that system config file. To build an ISO image from the same configuration, I would run:

'guix system disk-image ~/guix/system.scm'

...which would build a bootable ISO image of the same configured system. (Obviously I'd need to change things like the filesystem mounts to do this as they're specific to my laptop; it's possible to make more generic configs and inherit them per-machine but I only have one so haven't bothered yet.) Here's the config for my laptop: https://github.com/jfrederickson/dotfiles/blob/master/guix/g...

These scented candles smells smell quite strong; at least in your average mall they basically perfume a radius of about a few hundred feet and I can barely stand to go into the store.

If you can’t smell the candle it’s probably you.
I've been sleeping approximately 9:30 to 4 and feel way better. Groggy upon waking up, but okay by 4:30, getting stuff done. Feels like there's a lot more time in the day. Probably because late nights were mostly wasted time eating junk food anyway. Allow myself some catch up sleep on the weekends, and it seems to work out.

It was hard at first but now that I am used to it, I'm hooked.

As an aside "Stupid light" hiking is a great term for it. I recall a case where a British hiker died a long and lonely death in our country when he broke a leg a few days into a 4 week journey. Locals had encouraged him go take a locator beacon (due to the rough terrain and remoteness), but he'd refused, because it weighed too much.

"The alternative to an App store with a 30% cut on everything is a store without free apps and a complete ban of in app purchases."

No, absolutely not.

"I personally have never understood the selfish HN user arguments against any particular cut because if you followed those arguments through they would want Apple to give them a negative cut because they only care about themselves with no single though about the consequences of their wishes."

This is ridiculous.

Apple is printing money hand over fist, the richest company in all of history.

The 'alternative' to 30% cut is a 0% cut!

Developers would get 30 percent increase which is might probably 2-3x their profits.

Apple's profits wouldn't be hurt that much.
Good idea! I changed it!

Pretty certain we were at the same conference. There development practices horrified the group I was with in the audience. At a time that a new competitor appeared (Facebook) they made the fatal mistake of rewriting their software in dot Net. No new features for a year or more. Joel Spolsky wrote a pretty famous essay about the wisdom of doing that.

I just can’t get over how those original Amiga screenshots always look stretched vertically. That would have driven me insane.
So you believe nothing is a fact?

You're obviously not the target audience of fact-checkers. Most people agree on some basic principles of reality that can't be skewed.

For example, when a politician says something in public that millions of people hear and is recorded on video, and then he says he didn't say it, that is a lie. A fact-checker would provide the evidence and context.

Or if a politician says that nothing could be done to reduce Covid deaths in the US, that is less straightforward but also an easy lie to disprove because there are people who died due to lack of available tests for their coworkers, or people who died because of a huge nightclub being allowed to stay open.
nope -- it was a forum, the web-of-trust feature only operated over the users and content inside the forum
I don't think that's a very good counter, and I don't think it addresses the substance of my post at all. I'd say the term comes up often because it's a very common phenomenon - much like the one about hammers and nails. I'm sure there are many other terms for it - the idea that "history is written by the victors" It's certainly older than the concept of cognitive biaess, and I could as easily have invoked that.

I would still be using Adium today if they had made it a fully featured Matrix client. I moved to Element instead, which is nice, but I always liked Adium's UX better.

Anyone know why support for Matrix was never added to Adium? I never quite understood that given its robust support for XMPP.

"Are markups and margins not the same thing?"

'Margin' is sometimes 'gross' and sometimes 'net'.

In competitive markets, price ends up being a function of cost: it's always cost + a little bit. That little bit is profit. Anyone who marks up more, gets lost sales.

The fact Apple can take 30% of a software sale, which is in many cases 80% of a companies revenue, and that it's all gravy (i.e. all net), is huge.

Best Buy takes 40% margin because they have underlying costs, meaning other competitors will have similar structures.

Apple takes 30% because they can and that's that.
From your mouth to Tim's ear!

I picked up a Sony this year, and I'm very pleased with the quality of the photos and video I'm able to achieve.

The software is a constant, grating annoyance. It feels like being transported 15 years into the past, and (this one is Apple's fault), I have to pick my video format carefully if I want to import onto my iPad, which generally, I do.

Everything, from the menu, to importing, remote control, all of it: it just doesn't work great, the ergonomics are terrible.

Great camera though. Just a terrible computer.
I honestly want the large camera manufacturers to start tapping into the computational photography realm. That tech, with their amazing sensors and glass, would produce some amazing results.
Fedora also has Wayland as default. If Debian had Btrfs as default, that would be an argument.
Though I think on Linux it was added for VMs, so you can scale those up and down without rebooting.

A thoughtful article. It is becoming increasingly obvious that the integration of field/home robotics into our daily lives is going to require us to adapt to the technology, more so than it adapts to us. For example, a (new) house constructed with a robotic-assistant in mind might alleviate some of the issues mentioned in the text; a gantry robotic arm, for example, with full access to the entire house. Washers/dryers designed to be integrated with robotic manipulators; things of this nature.
>the entire dream preserves it cohesion and nothing feels out of place

Well, from within the dream at least.

I remember once dreaming that my grandpa was tickling me with static electricity from his arm hairs (for some reason he had very hairy arms in this dream), and inside the dream that didn't seem weird at all. Then I woke up and realized that a fly was walking on my skin and that was the cause of the tickling sensation.

To your point, which “k8s networking”? My beef with k8s is that it punts on networking altogether and you have to cobble your own with some CNI or another, and depending on which you choose it will significantly impact upstack choices such as load balancing and ingress as well as downstack choices, such as whether you can use Tailscale to connect multiple nodes together (the CNI and load balancer must be compatible with). At least this has been my experience as someone who isn’t a network specialist.

Interesting, I hadn't heard about that until now. Would this make it possible to run UWP software through Wine? That hasn't been possible so far.

mksquashfs supports gzip, xz, lzo, lz4 and zstd too, you can also compile it to have any of those as a default instead of gzip.

One little thing that I always liked about the Amiga was that it could show human dates.

I never owned one, but my friend had an Amiga 1000, and I remember the directory listing had dates like "Last Thursday," or "Christmas, 1990," or "An hour ago."

I don't know if that was part of the stock Amiga OS, or an add-on, but it was awfully cool.

I wake up, put on my running gear, and run out the door. I do 5k per day, which takes about 30 minutes. There are two decent routes near my house with minimal traffic lights. One of them is relatively flat and the other has a moderate size hill in it. I alternate routes.

Every 2-3 days I do a core workout with the Peloton app. If I'm lucky, my wife will have done her yoga/spin before hand and we do the core workouts together.

They really want to push AirPods too (to the point where even the iPads no longer have a headphone jack, which is absurd), but they also have Beats, because sometimes you need/want more sound than wee little earbuds can give you.

Doing something analogous with cameras isn't an impossibility. It's not even going to cannibalize iPhone sales; the opposite if anything, although I'd imagine most people who are serious about shooting video on their phone have a 12 Pro in their pocket already.

But mostly, it would give an obvious upgrade path to get into cinema-quality and real lenses, for customers who cut their teeth on what the iPhone has to offer.

It's a natural fit for Apple, although I think I understand why they haven't: it's hard for that company to get out of bed for less than a million units sold, of anything.
No, I think it’s fucking brilliant that the US gave them the opportunity for a better life in a safer place. I’m furious that he spent 40 years taking that, his family, and his community, for granted and then claims to have just “moved on” back in Cambodia now that it’s safe and he can make lucrative deals with China. Also, the last thing he says is: “I never back down. Never give up. Never surrender. Even in gambling. It took longer than 40 years. But I still win. At the end, I win.” Which is just about the most remorseless thing I can believe he could say.

Hopefully his faith will keep him honest now.
Yup, in Arch even month, week and day is relevant.
