The other day I was in an Apple Store and ran some basic tests on two MacBooks. One with 8Gb RAM, M1 chip and the other with 16Gb RAM, Intel Core i7 chip. I simultaneously ran on both machines a Python script that calculates a Fibonacci number non-recursively. The M1 performed significantly worse for any values entered. This surprised me, so I guessed that had something to do with RAM?
That's also what makes it pretty much unusable when you are on a slow mobile connection
To be honest that sounds fine. You're presumably downloading it to watch it offline, the download speed isn't really material as long as it finishes eventually
Ah yes, because we don't have small portable devices you can load tails or whatever onto and war drive (or war walk) in real time. Certainly not ones that are under $100, can run for days or be easily operated remotely...
The very same thing happened in French-speaking channels.
Expanding the geographic range for Waymo is straightforward: do the same thing in a new place (plus new hurdles like snow, but that isn't currently the limitation to growth).

It isn't clear how Tesla goes from "FSD" to "full automation". They are working on the "draw the rest of the owl" step.

Yes, I agree, but they decided it was better to go over every hill instead of through them: https://www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/4182283392/
This is user hostile a bit maybe but the content wasn't blocked, you read what you linked to. If you want to browse around and do something more than passively consume, aka actually be a user of the site, then log in. Don't really hate them for this. All you lurkers that just consume consume and then demand some input over how a site works (coincidentally this post is on reddit which is the other one that comes to mind often complained about on here) will just have to create an account to participate and be part of a site. This has been going on with other things like IG and FB forever, with even IG being app-only until recent years where they made it more web browsing friendly (but still have to log in to actually see more/do anything on the site.)

Fairplay at this point.
As a cyclist in SF, I see the Waymo vehicles every day in my neighborhood. They ALWAYS see me coming and slow down or stop. I've had a few close calls with regular drivers not paying attention and missing stop signs so I'm looking forward to Waymo deploying more vehicles.

IRC does not require your phone number to work.
This is often assumed without actual data to back it. I remember seeing in HN (in the last few years) a link providing evidence that advertising didn't work in an instance where the company was sure it was working (for years). Sorry, my memory is not good enough to actually come up with the link, maybe someone else will remember...
Tech companies play this game as well. This has always been a core part of Netflix's pitch: our recommendations will keep users tied to the platform and also reduce the cost to acquire IP as we can always find something the user is interested in.

I used to believe their pitch. However, it doesn't seem like it ended up working. People hear about a show and want to watch that specific show. The recommendations only do so much.
These findings may reflect the second and third order consequences of mandatory non-pharmaceutical interventions such as lock-downs, masking, & school/daycare/work closures - which are likely to have a greater impact on poor or uneducated families who lack the resources to effectively compensate for such changes.

Highlights from OP and the cited paper (interesting limitation at the end):

> In a longitudinal study of 672 children from Rhode Island that has run since 2011, those born after the pandemic began showed results on the Mullen scales of early learning that corresponded to an average IQ score of 78, a drop of 22 points from the average of previous cohorts.

> We find that children born during the pandemic have significantly reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance compared to children born pre-pandemic. [1]

> In terms of effect size, lead author of the longitudinal study and paediatrician Sean Deoni said, “the closest thing we’ve seen in other research — and this is horrible, not a good comparison to be making — is the studies that were done of orphans in Romania. The effects of institutionalisation and lack of interaction on them were profound, but what we’re seeing here is on par with that.”

> we find that males and children in lower socioeconomic families have been most affected [1]

> “we do have some preliminary data that we’re working on in a separate study using miniature recorders which the infants wear on their chest which measure the interaction between the caregiver and the child, and what we are seeing, anecdotally, is a significant depression in the number of words spoken to kids and, as you can imagine, a massive increase in TV exposure, and a decline in meaningful conversations. Time spent engaged with a caregiver is way down.”

> Results highlight that even in the absence of direct SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 illness, the environmental changes associated COVID-19 pandemic is significantly and negatively affecting infant and child development.

> One aspect also not investigated here is the impact of mask-wearing by the study staff during child visits and assessments. The inability of infants to see full facial expressions may have eliminated non-verbal cues, muffled instructions, or otherwise altered the understanding of the test questions and instructions.

Highways and big cities first. I predict non-self driving cars will be made illegal in areas like Manhattan, NYC.
Yes, these things happen... sometimes, as anything in the universe.

I've been promoted to a leading position after renegotiating my contract and it came with a 120% raise. You probably guessed it right - I was heavily underpaid at first. A teammate of mine earned around 60% more than me and our lead over 100%. When I finally found it out I was devastated. It happend for a couple of years. Sounds stupid? Yeah, it was. I was totally unaware of how much I should be asking for in the first place and never cared to talk about the compensation with the other guys. The team being 100% remote and spread across different countries didn't help too.

What would you do in my place? I wanted to quit, but I decided to negotiate an "impossible" raise first as I had nothing to lose anyway. It worked out and I stayed until now.
> All rides in the program will have an autonomous specialist on board for now

If you drive a Tesla w/ FSD, is it chic to refer to yourself as an Autonomous Specialist?
I recently lived in Oxford where they have a few self-driving car trials (notably Oxbotica) that essentially just went round and round the station because of how awkward some of the junctions were.

Yes, there's been numerous tools over the years. I don't know what the current best option is, but in the past I used DIMM Drive and SuperSpeed RAM Disk. I think these days SoftPerfect RAM Disk is probably a good option since the others are dead/gone, and SoftPerfect is still updating it's software.
I remember having to set up a firewall rule to drop or reroute all DNS queries through my PiHole. What a pain in the ass to have to jump through hoops for a device I paid over $1k for.

IIRC HBM is actually more power efficient but the problem is power density since HBM is stacked. Could also be trace length.

>Therefore, HBM provides at least an order of magnitude higher bandwidth than DDRx DRAM [15] at a lower power consumption (nearly 7pJ/bit as opposed to 25pJ/bit for a DDRx DRAM) with a smaller form factor [65].

> I still think that true level 5 (i.e. ability to drive autonomously everywhere with zero human oversight with a safety record equivalent to the median human driver) requires AGI.

This might be true. Most of the time (95%) I am on complete human brain autopilot when I’m driving but those other 5% need my full focus and attention. I shut of the radio and tell other passengers to be quite (if I have the time for it).
Indeed. And I don't want to pirate.

Startup idea: Tell us your friends and the services you subscribe to with family/friends sharing. We'll provide a password manager (or an API to your favorite password manager) to get rotating anonymous credentials that spread the cost evenly.
Point to point goes where you want, when you want. Buses can be better for taking more people at once, cheap to the riders (if subsidized), but here in SF the service is so erratic it is difficult to use for anything on a schedule, and then with Covid-19 people want more space than mass transit provides

I am in a similar position to you, 24 years old, and am in my first role after the completion of my bachelor's in computer science. I was just promoted this week for a 28% raise within the same company.
I had the same experience on a ~2011 smart TV. I was shocked when I subscribed to Netflix, and their app actually worked fine on that TV. Responsive, low play delay, etc.
Alternatively, a resin printer would get them most of the way there without anywhere close to that upfront cost.
Not really. By trends I mean... trends. Bitcoin and Blockchain are clearly one of the biggest trends of the past decade, it's not even close.
20+ years ago we had fast and easy to navigate websites, not sure we can say the same about today's websites.
I'm aware. It's really between "maybe works, maybe doesn't everywhere (L3)" vs "works with no driver in a defined area (L4)". I consider the latter as more advanced as they are taking full responsibility for your safety.

Didn’t that get hardened in response to the Onavo revelations? In particular, Facebook was using their developer certificate to sign spyware installed via MDM. I don’t remember it being a requirement from the beginning, even though China has tightly regulated VPNs for a long time.
The point is to never give it to them.
Android has a client called RedReader that makes Reddit highly tolerable: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.quantumbadger.redreader/

Part of me wishes there was something as nice as this for the desktop, the other part of me thinks I already waste too much time on Reddit. (The signal-to-noise ratio is just largely not worth it compared to my hand-curated list of blogs I follow via RSS.)
my needs are more utilitarian - I need a smart phone that's waterproof. Not a single one of the libre* phones are waterproof, let alone reasonably water resistant, so they're a nonstarter for me. I'm a nerd but I'm also outdoorsy. My phones have gone for swims in the Gulf of Mexico and been caught in squals more times than I can count.
As someone who has been remote, hybrid remote, and almost every other version distributed teams and remote/asynchronous working over the past 13 years, I assure you there was and still is a remote working trend well before COVID. COVID only poured gasoline on an otherwise very long-term "how we work" trend. COVID probably condensed 10 years of where remote work probably would have ended up in the span of 18 months.
This discussion would only be relevant if there was any downside or personal cost to the obvious solution, which is to just get the damn vaccine.

Apart from facing one's cognitive dissonance, fears and ignorance, there is none. Just overwhelming benefits. It's perfectly okay for society to require it.
Thinking back on the overall strategy, would it have been better to "just" digitize, OCR and timestamp the coordinating documents for logging and audit purposes? A "document management system" rather than "an eldercare management system"?

That way it's "just" "Pull up the most recent documents relating to or updated for patient Doe, Jane" or "What has changed in the medications prescribed in this district?"

The Document Management System would still manage all the PDFs or caretaker notes, but would (eventually) be searchable, and would still support the primary workflow of "I just want to see all the recent documentation for my patient" or "This is caretaker Alex's most recent route assignment document".
I understand your cynicism, but most systems like this have a reasonable maximum timeout (usually the maximum time you're allowed to stay in that zone - 2-3 hours) at which point it'll end the session.

While that's far from ideal for a 5 minute stop, it's not the only way to pay (you can also try and guess how long you'll be in the spot and prepay much like meters but to the minute rather than some multiple of the change in your pocket) - and at some point you need to take ownership of your oversight, no?
I'd argue that Twitter hasn't been improved meaningfully in the past decade either, certainly no more than how IRCCloud has 'improved' upon IRC.
Realistically, though, is this going to decrease Twitter usage.

I would never hand my phone number over to Twitter. Would you?
From the parent:

> "Should a customer’s TV be incorrectly blocked, the functionality can be reinstated once proof of purchase and a valid TV license is shared to serv.manager@samsung.com or click here for more information"

I don't know why they would block me, but apparently it is something they've created a process for, a process I wouldn't be able to participate in.
we need to define what "suggseted to you" means. if you are browsing a list called "Films we think you might like", that's obviously a suggestion. however, if you're browsing a list of "Action & Adventure", you need to know how the titles in that list were added. is it recent titles in that genre, is it titles that are currently trending, or is it titles that have the same actor/director/plots as other titles you have been watching?

the only way to really know that it wasn't some sort of algorithmic detection is if you 100% absolutely positively never browse and only watch a movie directly from the search feature.
Four element theory is on approximately the same epistemological plane as modern personality psychology. In some ways it's more useful than psychology, because it has a straightforward logic in terms of metaphor and relationships between parts, whereas psychology is a mess. Of course, it has very little to do with how the brain works, but psychology also has very little to do with how the brain works (it's more about the use of language to describe and regulate behavior), so it's not a big deal.
In a similar vein, having fostered 30+ cats, I've found that using a "food tree puzzle" is especially useful. It's a good way to let them have snack and entertain themselves when they feel like it, without letting them potentially binge eat. (This is in addition to wet food as primary meals)
Weird, must be platform-specific. HBO and Hulu are fine on Roku. In fact, after subscribing to a bunch more services than I used to (I was Netflix-only for a really long time) I'm probably going to cancel all but those two, because the UIs are pretty good (Amazon's lost me purely over their UI) and their selection crushes everyone else (for my tastes, anyway—these days I'd rank Netflix under Kanopy, which is free, in terms of which service I'd most want to keep).
It doesn't matter for the rider though, unlike a Tesla where you still have to keep your hands on the wheel.
yup another popular website walling itself in

remember the good old days of the pre-2010 internet when you could just go to a domain and read content without having to sign up, login, pay, check a bunch of boxes, etc. yeah it was a great time for those too young to remember.
I work in an adjacent space, and have been encouraged by an investor to push into the reduced emissions and avoided emissions sector. I’m yet to decide, but a few factors are currently dissuading me:

1. The assumptions behind forestry and soil offsets on closer inspection can seem a bit stretched.

2. An offset creates revenue for the person creating the offsets - which money is then spent on things which have their own carbon intensity - eg fuel or a vehicle or whatever. So there’s ultimately no offset.

3. Being able to offset your carbon emissions has unpredictable consequences. I remember seeing some study which showed people who bought a Macdonald’s salad were likely to reward themselves with a burger. I can see how I’d offset a flight and then piously reward myself with a steak later.

4. Companies buying offsets open themselves to reputational risk associated with the quality of the offsets. Is it worth the risk?

There seem to be a bunch of other reasons why offsets are questionable but those are my four reasons for not going into this space.

[Edit: I added reason 4].

>> who were hoodwinked into purchasing FSD.

Fools and their money. Like most every expensive car, Teslas are luxury vehicles and fashion statements. People buy them because they are cool. That product was delivered. As for future features, nobody should believe Telsa's advertising any more than we do Microsoft's advertising about how the next version of Windows will solve all our computing problems. The hamburger never looks as good as it does in the commercial. Demanding such things post-purchase, after the test drive demonstrates the deficiencies of the real product, is simply buyers remorse.
Yay anecdotal evidence !
Your web sleuthing has an American bias. I'm from an English-speaking country but I'm not American.
They do post to an official government website. They also do outreach via Twitter and Facebook and it's very useful. It'd be a real shame if the Twitter outreach got less effective.
What I appreciate most is that it gets out of my way. I don't want to be fighting a language, I want to concentrate on the problem I'm trying to solve.

Please don't take this the wrong way but I read the above as: "leave me alone, I want to introduce more buffer overflows and integer overflows in peace". Truth is, C programmers are not as infallible as many of them believe, and that's sadly a historically proven fact.

At least the above part of your comment makes it sound like you don't understand what languages like Rust and Haskell bring to the table.

Was that your intention?

Additionally, "fighting a language" can mean dozens of things but at least in Rust, getting your program to compile guarantees that a whole class of bugs is now impossible (unless you actively subvert the Rust compiler in your code which some people successfully do; but that's still easier to audit and account for compared to the tooling of C).

Many find that peace of mind and compiler guarantees valuable. It seems that you don't?
You type a keyword... somewhere? On Google maybe? And then what? Pick the first movie listed? What about actors? Do you watch all of their movies? In random order? Do you do it chronologically? Why?

The only way you could watch movies without it being the result of a suggestion would be if you had a random list of movies (preferably of all movies ever made) and picked at random in it. I think it's safe to assume you're not doing that, so you're being suggested movies.

On the other hand, I can honestly not think of a single show or movie that hasn't been suggested to me in one way or another. I may search for a specific show or movie, but that is either something I have already watched, or I saw an ad for somewhere along the line.

Apple TV does the same sort of channel thing. In general, I prefer the Prime Video app, as the playback interface has a 10s skip, and the video selection interface is less confusing.

I honestly wish there was an open source player like Kodi that could be used to play back all these services, and could be customized to not suck.
