We have several important contenders, but it is kind of funny that if you rank all contenders by relevance to empiricism, as is rightly demanded by Woit and Hossenfelder, string theory comes out in the lead.
Given the political bent of this forum, I'm curious how people would react to the fact that the same argument could be applied to the prevalence of guns in America, e.g. gun ownership has been steadily increasing since the 50's, but violent crime peaked in the 90's.
This is a reddit tier answer, this is not really the right place for that kind of bs. Do better!
It's $2000 of pure inflation - but with the backdrop of the obscene National Defense Authorization Act which is a slap in the face.
Thank you for your feedback! I will keep iterating on the text. Overall I agree though :) Its interestingness might scale with user activity, being a social network.

https://anagora.org/ might clarify what it does: it surfaces content related to the node you're visiting using a lightweight fanout convention (lightweight in particular once you get the setup right or if you're already taking notes using something like roamresearch.com).

Essentially when you click on a wikilinks such as [[hn]] you see many pages about HN sequentially, one or more per contributor (user). It's a bit like distributed https://everything2.com.
Looks interesting but could do with a lot of UX work etc. You're not going to get the average FB/Twitter user using this if you're confusing even HN'ers.
Ah too bad, that breaks it for me. I aim to have the same browser on all my platforms, obviously they're not there yet as it runs only on the Pi 400 now, but I doubt they will ever support things like FreeBSD officially (even Firefox doesn't!)

So it won't be for me but nevertheless more competition in the rendering engine area is welcome.
The only reference to this I can find: https://twitter.com/pmddomingos/status/1344028996850180097

Notably, Pedro Domingos recently fought against NeurIPS' ethics/social impact requirement in research papers. The argument here is likely related, that science be portrayed in a vacuum and not be diminished based on possible societal harm or political biases.

It seems to be at least partially in response to the blacklist of researchers/students that Anima Anantkumar prepared and circulated and then eventually retracted about three weeks ago.
> Many of their robot models don't seem to exist for actual products, they just exist for marketing.

Wow :) I was under impression that, while Atlas is a flagship model with broad purposes, the other two are rather optimized transporting (and some other miscellaneous functions) robots, for specific applications.

Why do you think they couldn't find use as products?
Combined bet worth are not indicator of unbalance in wealth ( i mean in quality of living and generally living easiness).. those kind of metrics are misleading when presented this way imho.. let me explain :
Stock market now and meet worth to companies owner while they may benefit only marginally from those money..
If elon musk has net worth of 100b and for living use 1m\y is it different from a guy who earn 2m and use 2m\y to live ? Is musk worse for disparity of whealt ? And a man who earn 30k and use 10k to live ? Is him different from a guy who earn 10k and use 10k to live ? Yeah the first ok one may have more cash if something goes bad.. but theyr lifestyle may be the same ... I think that the difference should be calculated on what we spend not in net worth ... if I have 1 trilion$ and spend 0 and live like a homeless because I don't wond to spend those money but maybe because I don't need or can spend ..why should I been considered as society monster from those kind of statistics ?

Net worth over certain threshold is non sense imo , someone who own a company may be calculated was total company value net worth but probably have a quote normal life and his net worth is in the market\street creating jobs, plus having a 1m earning and 1m spending i could have net worth 0 , but i would me different from who have 300$ income year

An ultra rich doesn't abuse society until he spend his money for things useless to the society imho.. that's what should be tracked. How much wealth is wasted for a golden toilet .. not accumulated
> Please avoid the patronizing tone. Your experience is not universal.

I'm sorry, I did not mean to sound patronizing, but rather enabling for people in similar situations to be aware of the choices they have.

> I've personally witnessed victims escalating the conflict into much worse situations.

Of course punching someone in the face can always result in them falling in a really bad way and just being dead right away!

My experience comes from a schoolkid age where body weight and muscle strength were still low enough to make that rather unlikely I would guess. Even if something bad had happened, I was still below the ago of criminal responsibility, so while neglecting the emotional and physical consequences for other people, consequences for me would have been a slap on the wrist.
Don't know much about it but wouldn't that be something more in line with the pi compute module?

I know there are boards that take 4 compute modules for instance. They might be better to stack as well.
Yeah, I'm trying to find some context but it's difficult. Many keywords paired with "Communications of the ACM" just result in articles from CACM instead of about CACM. I'm checking out the blogs of some of the signatories but haven't seen anything yet.
But don't you think that Dreams engine is the sight of more superior rendering approach than current triangles pipeline and will dominate in the future? Can't we achieve more in terms of performance and flexibility if we skip triangles pipeline and do all rasterization and pixel color calculation in computed shaders? For example you don't need to carefully choose tesselation level (or spend memory for many different zoom level lods and then trying to avoid lods switching artifacts) for models and fases with many smooth curves if you can do resolution independent rasterization straight from sdf/nurbs/b-splines in realtime. And it seems like having much less overhead due to 2*2 pixel overdrawing of many triangles just for visual curve effect.
On more than one occasion while driving through Italy last year, Google Maps attempted to navigate me to the center of cities by driving through ancient, pedestrian-packed streets barely wider than the hatchback I was in—even as (I eventually discovered) most non-emergency vehicles are not permitted to actually drive there.

In one such instance, I didn't realize what was happening until I had spent 45 minutes inching past the chairs of patrons in tiny cafes not a foot from my side-view mirror to eventually emerge from an alley onto the plaza of a cathedral in the city center much to the confused looks of the passers by.

Even in well-populated, first-world cities it seems it's wise to take Google Maps' advice with some healthy skepticism.
It is not pedantic at all, you are completely right; if this implementation were to be classified as coloroing, then everything would be, including classic threads.
Meh. If someone wants to "hunt" you with a robot they can already do so with a UAV (think MQ-1 Predator, not an off-the-shelf quadrocopter). It is an already existing true and tested technology. Large governments around the world already maintain literal armies to maintain them and efficiently employ them to kill people. The fact that that weapon is not aimed at you or me is merely a political decision. With legged robots a lot more development is needed before they can do the same. I guess what I want to say: These robots are not deadly yet. The kind of people who can turn them deadly can already kill you if they want. I don't see why you should worry marginally more.
Yeah about this, I never 'got' why Microsoft expected people to jump on Edge all of a sudden when they rebased it on Chromium.

Basically they admitted they can't make a decent browser that people want, then they re-skin someone else's work and suddenly expect us to want it more than the one they copied? How does that even make sense. Who would pick a mod kit over a real Ferrari.

Apart from people not caring about the engine, Microsoft has a very bad history in the browsing arena which is why I (and many others) don't trust them anymore. I don't want them to become big again in the browser market. We already know what happens then: years of stagnation, platform lock-in, no interest in security. And no, they haven't changed their tune, the same is still happening with MS Office where they still own a de facto monopoly.

Of course what plays into this for me as well is that I don't like Chrome either so I stay with Firefox anyway. But the pressure Microsoft are exerting at work to move everything to Edge is annoying.
The weight of your vehicle and heat in your tires (plus the heat generated by friction) causes slush, snow and light ice to melt. If your tires have aggressive enough treads they are just pushing the water away and making contact with the road surface.

If conditions are bad enough to cause a FWD or RWD car to hydroplane then there’s nothing AWD can do to help it given the same tires. Grip is all that matters when it comes to staying put on the road, and that comes entirely from your tires on normal road cars (most road cars aerodynamic profiles generate lift rather than downforce, so you aren’t getting any aero grip unless you are driving a sports/supercar with aero elements).
String theory has not made predictions that are in any sense meaningful to science.

“Confirmations should count only if they are the result of risky predictions; that is to say, if, unenlightened by the theory in question, we should have expected an event which was incompatible with the theory--an event which would have refuted the theory.”

They're actually more connected in the winter for exactly the reason you stated. Locals do use the road though. These guys wouldn't have gotten as far as they did if the road wasn't in fairly regular use. This is a forested part of Russia and nature reclaims things faster than that.
> but iPhones have the longest average device lifetimes in the industry by a long way

After iPhones are not supported anymore they turn into bricks. This typically happens in 5 years, which is not too bad, but it's far from being perfect. Why should a smartphone be supported for much shorter than laptops? Remember: reduce, reuse, recycle, in this order.

Librem 5 GNU/Linux phone has a lifetime support with updates.

Hmmm. I'm not sure how successful this can be since the 3rd principle about not discriminating on identity etc (though righteous) is often that used to suppress research in the past.

Without some Asimovian style "except where that counters the 1st principle" appended to "lower" principles it will continue to be abused by those who would constrain science that offends them.

I assume a publication like Physics Today gets a lot of submissions, and that probably the majority of them are rejected. Maybe there would've been a better chance of acceptance if the article (and presumably also the letter to the editor) wasn't so confrontational.
Web push can pop up messages if the browser is closed and your phone's screen is off. It's well supported on most android devices.

I use one for pihole (with DoH) and wireguard. For pi-hole, i filter around 10 devices, but i do only one wireguard connection at time. CPU usage is really low. I can have full bandwitdh usage on my 200/80 connection.

Similar story with friends and family who struggled against communism behind the Iron Curtain. Some wish they'd just gotten good careers set up instead.
I can't say I've ever really had one of those but I find that Google frequently has what I like to refer to as "Oh, Google is in the mood for a country drive" moment. It will take you on a bunch of back roads rather than a major route, presumably to save 2 minutes (assuming you don't miss a turn). Which is particularly annoying in winter (like this morning!) when there may be snow and ice on said back roads.

The worst I've had, which wasn't really that bad, was when I was taking a friend to pick up a canoe in rural NH and they were on a snow covered gravel road. Google routed me on a long drive on said road. Which was OK but still slow going. When we got there, they guy sort of laughed at the direction we had gone and said we should have come in the other way which only involved a mile or two of said road.
That’s a single policy. Perhaps that’s a good one?

Imagine a world where China and the U.S. were on better terms, start of the health crisis China helped provide huge amounts Of PPE required. Drs and epidemiologists from China with experience could have helped drs in the US. Instead they were coming off the back of a trade war over soy beans and hiding information from each other.

Globalisation has effects that expand beyond the economy.

As for citations: the US has just passed the second, largest stimulus package in its history beating or the first from a couple of months back. Are we’re ignoring this gorilla so much that people need citations?
I had a Pi clone which froze every week or two. Turned out the USB "charging cable" had 1 Ohm resistance!

I mean - I have no idea what’s going on at Tesla, but its very likely they’re doing some internal work with Lidar. They surey understand the risk with w vision-only approach. Elon, and Karpathy, and Laettner previously, aren’t fools.
The problem for Tesla is they can’t be too Lidar dependent because nobody mass-produces them
On Christmas Day, there was a bombing in Nashville, TN. I don’t think there was any positive narrative to that story. It was only negative.

Does it really matter if we instinctively attach a positive or negative bias to a piece of information?
All of this is trivially explained by the fact that they are not a consumer oriented company so they don’t have to sell hype. Their customers aren’t average people chasing trends and reading Twitter. Nearly every b2b business markets in a similar way.

When you’re competing in a vicious field for consumer mindshare it leads to the marketing and self aggrandizing because you’re literally trying to capture the attention of stupid people.
A huge percentage of consumer electronics—including smartphones—are manufactured by a small number of often questionable companies. Microsoft, Dell, HP, Lenovo, all have similar supply chains and manufacturing.

I'm not entirely sure what a good way to pick an "ethical" manufacturer is. One thing I like about Apple is they are somewhat transparent and at least seem to audit their supply chain.

It would be nice if instead of doing pieces like this, these organizations would give a list of manufacturers they recommend and why.
And what’s your contingency if they decide that they’re going to hike the price because Jeff’s underwater lair has sprung a leak?
Good point, except OSM isn't dependent on any company or person in particular. It's a community effort. Apple could as well contribute whatever improvements it deems necessary to benefit themselves and everyone else. They could write their own renderers and whatnot, it's been done many times by different companies. It would've been a much better starting point, too, than whatever proprietary data they licensed to get started.
I forgot about the Banana Pi. I was using one as a router for a while, but it kept crashing and the whole thing turns into a switch when it can't load an OS (not great for security):

Input into the system is a big factor, but to maximize fat loss you also have to induce the system into expending prioritized fuel sources before it saps into fat reserves. And exercise probably induces that during but also after exercise too.

Eh. Private chats are the equivalent of walking over to someone's desk and asking them about something. Posting in the team chat is the equivalent of standing up and asking something out loud so that everyone in the vicinity can watch and listen. The latter IS expensive and distracting.

That being said, it is important to recognize which conversations would benefit the whole team. Asking about changing something in the architecture should probably take team input, but asking why something is broken to the engineer who made that change is fine to do in a private chat.
This is a great comparison!

With physical security, you need to trust that the lock designers and manufacturers didn't make material mistakes. It is impossible to check for the layman and extremely hard even for experts. You can watch people install it, but that only offers so much assurance and is limited mostly to their expertise in installation. Further, we know that any lock can be bypassed given enough effort, so we have insurance against theft and maybe additional layers of security (cameras, a fence, watchful neighbors, etc.).

With cyber security your position is similar. You're working with a series of tools, none of which you can trust completely, and most of which have limitations or flaws. You layer them with the goal of increasing the amount of effort requires to breach all your defenses to be too high for your adversaries to want to take on.

In both security domains, the basic positions are the same. Non-experts need to layer imperfect defensive systems atop one another to make successful attacks more difficult to achieve. Risk assessments play an important role in helping people decide how much is enough.
> while there were no technical restrictions preventing me from replacing the broken camera, the screen was glued in in a way making it very difficult to open without smashing.

You just presented a technical restriction, didn't you?

> but having an official location with official parts is actually more useful than being able to do it yourself but not being able to get parts.

I disagree. This is not so much about DIY-repairs, but about a free market for third-party repairs, without which Apple can force people to pay as much as they want.
Capitalism needs a puissant state to enforce property rights, at the very minimum. Without private property, you don't have capitalism. However, small scale barter is not the problem. Capitalism at scale is the problem, and that can certainly be torn down ("suppressed," in your terms).

As for private exchange, let's just not have private property, shall we?
Which is truly an exceptionally dumb position to take. Many other sciences have IRB and human factors approvals for experiments that involve or may involve humans. Computer Science (and specifically ML, a lot of HCI research does involve human subjects approval) ignores all of the potential for harm here.

We've seen that go terribly wrong in other fields, and in the ML field.

The two main releases of documents by wikileaks, one being the center of the extradition case currently being conducted by the United state, involve raw data from the military involved in military actions, and raw data from diplomats.

Processed into intelligence it was not. The video from the helicopter strike was technically processed, but by no stretch of the imagination was it intelligence that an American airstrikes hit two journalists and family with young children.

Out of the leaks listed on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks#Leaks), how many of those can honestly be classified as processed intelligence by a hostile power, under the guise of an ideology of totally free data?

Hey WJW, nice blog you have there! Have been following along, good stuff.
- No spying on what I do with my computer.

- General purpose. Applications don't have to pay a fee to the OS maker be treated as applications.

- Simple, but aesthetically pleasing interface. Not trying to push weird paradigms (e.g. laptop/tablet hybrids UIs). Polished look.

- Applications are installed through regular files. Stores are acceptable, but only as frontends to this same file interface, not as replacements. It should always be possible to store the installer or bundle as a regular file.

- Consistent vision. Programs don't feel like they were developed by completely different groups of people with completely different purposes.

- No surprise updates. User has full control over the computer.

- Preferably open source.

Apple have been the closest to this OS nirvana (if you forget the open source part), but they decided to screw their users with spying and forced signing of applications instead.
Is there a popular science book that begins with Noether’s theorem (along with some biographical details and historical context in which her theorem must be understood) and traces developments from there down to the Standard Model and talks about what the standard model doesn’t solve and why new theories are interesting?

Preferably a book that doesn’t go off into the deep end with alternate realities and dead/alive cats in boxes.

I read Higgs by Jim Baggot, it did a good job of providing an overview - however I would like something that goes into a little more detail while still being a popular science book.
I had a similar problem with an Android phone and VPN, and tracked it down to my DHCP server only serving primary DNS IP and no secondary. In this circumstance it seems Google automatically adds its own DNS resolver as secondary, which was causing DNS leaks.

Try tunning tcpdump on your gateway looking at DNS and mDNS requests.
This is the big problem. Few of these companies have the resources to verify their supply chain is free of abuse. The smaller companies likely have even less control over their supply chain.
Just reading this gave me a hit of anxiety. Despite having never done so, I have recurring dream trope where I've naively driven a car into some place it was easy enough to enter, only to realize it was quite inappropriate.

FWIW, a few years ago Google Maps also gave me wildly inappropriate directions on the way to Yosemite (i.e., in Google's ~back-yard). I called it off when it suggested I start off up a dirt road that switchbacked its way up a cliff face in my mother's minivan.
