> We as consumers and repairers are just caught in the middle. Apple designs beautiful technology outside and in, they have it produced in China, who then disassemble the technology and manufacture alternative parts. Apple is using their own genius against the Chinese by blocking aftermarket parts.

Constricting the supply of parts is directly anti-consumer. “China” isn’t randomly profiting, they’re making stuff people need.

The most absurd hole in this line of argument is two-fold:

- Geniune parts can’t be swapped, making it impossible to use them

- Non-geniune parts can (in theory) be used, since they are re-programmable.

Maybe some day they’ll use certificates to make these mental gymnastics even plausible.

Little disclaimer: I’m not attacking iCorrect, I do believe that’s Apple’s preferred interpretation, as it’s the most charitable possible.

The process described in the fine article is for painting e.g. stripes, logos, and other traditional "decals". It is not for painting the chassis, unibody, underbody, or even the finish on most of the exterior. That is all still done by traditional methods.
In this case it means people that create things using computers. Digital artists, programmers, authors, etc.

Americans Have No Idea What the Supply Chain Is
I always thought the US should have been harnessing ad agencies and Hollywood production companies in its public outreach for covid. Instead I think it overrelied on basically politicians or administrative heads of various govt depts appointed by politicians.
I meant "virtual countries". Ah, fuck this shit.
The average American produces 5 pounds of garbage per day. The rest of the world isn’t that far behind. Granted, the chemicals in an iPhone are probably much worse for the environment than the paper, plastics, and food waste that make up the bulk of that number, but virtually all of the most harmful chemicals do get recycled. Phone waste would be a rounding error even if people upgraded their phones every month, let alone every couple years.
I always found the level of detail in the clear flat drawings of Tintin comics impressive. It is good to know the name of the style after all these years.
Meet Three Orchid Obsessives (2020)
It's mandatory in El Salvador. That alone is a QED. However, I'd highly recommend listening to any of the thought leader talking heads.
WTF is this? Asinine post.
A company doing well isn’t indicative of the stock price doing the same. For example Cloudflare has one of the highest P/Es on the market, meaning its future growth has been accounted for by investors. So executing extremely well doesn’t cut it. You have to find new areas of growth that investors haven’t anticipated or grow your existing lines more quickly than investors anticipate.
>"To test this hypothesis, Song et al. (18, 19) subjected mice to open field blasts using 350 g of C4 explosive. Mice were placed 2.1, 3, 5, and 7 meters from a blast source (18). Cognitive and behavioral testing showed that deficit severity correlated with closeness to the blast, overpressure and impulse exposure."

Hmmm, so to test if Microwave energy is harmful to the brain, this guy put mice 6 feet from 3/4 lb of C4 an set it off?
Very interesting:

> The best we can do is modeling a generic worm - pretraining and running the neural network with fixed weights. Thus, no worm is "uploaded" because we can't read the weights, and these simulations are far from realistic because they are not capable of learning. Hence, it's merely a boring artificial neural network, not a brain emulation.
Absolutely right, in aggregate we have never been this prosperous. Inequality is a good thing because it shows people take risks. "poverty" is no longer about not meeting your basic needs, it's about seeing your neighbor drive a Tesla.
Wow that would be amazing if it were true or sensical or really even grounded.

Inflation in the real world isn't defined by supply but rather purchasing power as measured by CPI. Your definition is closer to the Austrian definition, long debunked because what people do with that supply is as important as its existence. The M2 supply increased 15X since the 70s but purchasing power only dropped by a factor of 7, meaning without a doubt that supply isn't the be all and end all.

TL;DR: The M2 supply is not a measure of inflation. It's just not.
It is happening – China has been imposing power curb throughout the whole country. Since I work in manufacturing, I can see the cost of everything is rising, i.e. metals, chemicals, and even shipping fee.
Now the consumers won't feel these because the whole supply chain is still absorbing the cost. But the effects will eventually it will get to individuals in various forms.
We also have an older Civic (2005 FK) plagued with electrical issues regarding steering and VSA. The mechanic said it occured during peak current draw, but I'm a bit skeptical since all the lights went on once in the summer while travelling at highway speeds.
OK. So that's a case for forcing Facebook to allow people to contact politicians, not a case for forcing it to allow people to make posts or comments.
I wonder if the argument will become what is the contact - essentially, is it specific transfers as implemented by the smart contract, or is it to be bound by the smart contract, even if these transfers weren't in the contemplation of the parties at formation?
My son will be born any day now. My great aunt is 96, born in 1925, I believe. I intend to get them together, within the first few months. She's (slowly) losing her mental faculties but has agreed to some candid interviews for the kids. We've already got a bunch of great pictures and videos of her with our 2 year olds.

It's interesting to think that these people who might be 130 in 2150 could have a direct connection back to the 1920s.

I think many people didn't expect US vaccination to be as difficult as it has turned out to be. Anti-vaccine sentiment existed before covid but in a smaller proportion (at least in my eyes). Using hindsight I agree with you and think that could have been more effective.
I wrote a book for O'Reilly about GitHub and their API and for some reason no one noticed that we added a chapter on Gollum (there isn't an API to access Gollum on github). It was the weakest one of the chapters, IMHO, but, you know, deadlines. O'Reilly was gracious enough to release it under CC, so you can read that chapter (and the whole book actually) here:

https://buildingtoolswithgithub.teddyhyde.io/chapter-03-goll...

There is a section on using Rugged, the ruby git library and how you can use that with Gollum.

https://buildingtoolswithgithub.teddyhyde.io/chapter-03-goll...

While writing this book, I found it really fascinating to learn about how git works by trying to manage a Gollum wiki. For example, if you add an image to multiple places in a repository, it only needs to store it once because git can tell it is already in there.

Isnt that a feature not a bug?

The article unfortunately doesn't mention how the new method saves paint. I think the traditional electrostatic method has low losses already.

I've been in the BMW paint shop in their Munich plant two times. What I remember is paint going to the vehicle body - and only to the vehicle body. There is no mess at all, the room stays super clean and it has to, because subsequent cars are painted in different colors. There is no extra clean-up when changing colors. It would be interesting to know how the new Inkjet method stacks up against this.

One area where I see an advantage is metallic paint. From what I understand, metallic paint isn't applied electrostatically and the losses are higher there.
Well, that’s a different kind of issue. Should politics have anything to do with mandating which technologies have the right to exist? The Internet itself enables global surveillance by sufficiently funded actors, but it also makes this conversation possible. I like my internet, I don’t want it to go.

I also welcome tech companies trying to extract every tiny bit of performance from the silicon that powers computing today. It may lead to developing something incompatible with existing solutions, but surely no regime on this planet is to blame here.
> would be the taxable event from the IRS's perspective.

But you can explain that right? Cannot imagine you would be taxed on that: you would get taxed on 10% you keep though when you sell up. Or do you pay over that right away in the US?
I do wonder what this will bring about in the hacker/maker community. When Sony had closed off architectures like PS2 there was first nobody able to modify it, but then workarounds were discovered and then people started repurposing superior hardware for new uses. There was a wave of PS2 fueled super-computing for a while. I expect new usages will come about for stuff like M1 that Apple never intended to allow.
I have not used the app so I don't know about the settings available. However, if it calls at purely random times during the day, you may not be in a state of mind for such conversations. Whereas in a more "organic" setting, you have primed yourself for it and if the other party is happy to participate, it will probably be more mutually enjoyable.
The more efficient computers are, the more people will use and rely on computers.
Yes! It sounds like something straight out from a movie. It sounds scripted. It's fascinating that people just spoke like that, I don't know, with more... soul?
> I also recently discovered that something like 12% of CPU on my 2020 macbook air is used whenever I'm in a room with anything greater than perfect silence, by 'coreaudiod', because it apparently is constantly listening to the microphone built in near the keyboard and spending cpu cycles trying to filter out background noise. Apparently running the signal desktop app in the background is enough to keep coreaudiod constantly wasting battery.

Are you sure it's the Signal desktop app?

My initial hunch was while reading was that maybe it's your machine constantly listening for a "Hey Siri".

There are some reports of the same issue (and a possible solution) here:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24913/why-is-the-c...

Though none of them mention Signal in particular.
WTF is "pentesting" supposed to mean?
Both Magic Cap and Microsoft Bob had a user interface with a room based metaphor.

You would select an object in a picture of a room to launch applications. You would navigate from room to room to find other groups of applications.

That's not pejorative. It's descriptive.
Not exactly that, but the comic book Wikipedia page [1] has a short description of how different cultures approach comic books, along with most popular titles. It is a fun starting point for exploring differences in styles. There is also a list of comic books by country [2].

Each transaction is its own taxable event, with taxes due based on the difference between the cost basis and the disposition price.
Au contraire, this madness is going to become the norm for the next generation. Personally I think the more things break in the immediate future, the better.

Hopefully we will reach some sort of steady state where users keep a baseline of trustworthiness / reliability for a portion of their wealth, yet willing to occasionally play around with another portion of their wealth trying out bug-infested moonshots.
Good catch, I'll fix that soon. Thanks for reporting!
The Honda Jet was a surprising shift for the company. Built mostly in house, including the powerplant. And Honda Japan at least is still a prestigious company that attracts brilliant engineers.
An alternative perspective on "high mortality" is "strong selection pressure".

About half of all children born died before reaching the age of 20, and that mortality fell off tremendously with the 1st, 5th, and 10th years.

This chart gives life expectancy by age (rather than mortality), but you can largely infer the latter. Range is 1700--2013, though for most ages data are from 1850 onwards.

Ok, but I still don't see how M1 performance is evidence that this kind if integration is a great thing? Rather M1 is evidence that excessive money from one area can be used to expand your influence in other areas. Rather, the "tight integration" here has nothing to do with technical bits but instead economic, Apple can guarantee funds for them since they have money from other parts of the stack. Funds of that scale doesn't exist for many other companies, except Google. Google could also do something like that and compete with Apple, which might be why Google is now entering this space?
connecting to slack from a third party application is even better.
It's especially confusing because the 10% 'bounty' would also be taxable, and if they could report you to the IRS for 100% because they'd "doxed you" then one would imagine they'd be obligated to report you for 10% too.
Has a case like this ever been brought to court yet?
honestly I can see bitcoin ending up like this, actually transacting the bitcoins is too expensive: lets just build an accounting system where we keep a database entry of who owns a particular address

> And given the distances and terrain between major Canadian cities, trains will just never win out against air travel.

With a pretty major possible exception on the Windsor-Quebec City corridor. Large fraction of Canada's population in a span of ~1200km. Particularly the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal span with (metro area) population totally ~11 million over 600km, a Shinkansen-speed rail would be very competitive against air travel.

They're working on high frequency rail (which will also increase speeds to ~160km/hr), which should be closer to competitive, but still not great.
Why did you complain?? I’m
Confused.
Less current draw, thinner cables mainly. 40-60V or higher is also great for electrical motors and power electronic, but anything above 50V is high voltage, so 48V is still safe enough. Cables in a passenger vehicle amount to >4 km and ~30 kg.

I'm an electrical engineer working in an automotive related field.
Such a great question! I think vector search is designed to solve a specific task, like finding K nearest neighbors for your given vector embedding. If you have a few hundred thousand, a million, it might work fine with a linear scan. Again, this depends on your use case. But if you have tens of millions, hundreds of millions or even a billion of vectors, you will need something more robust to store, index and search over this data.

An example in NLP world is BERT-like NNs, that allow you to embed your text into a dense vector representation.
It's probably a pun.
It’s not a nightmare, I simply hook up individually customized Arduinos to every house plant!

Of course, the receivers might not live in the US. Sounds like lot of countries would be friendlier than what you say.

>It says why do you think you can predict better than the 1000 Ph.D. employed by trading co. inc. when all of you have access to the same public information?

well one reason would be that there is something about the market at time X that means conventional wisdom is faulty, since the 1000 Ph.D. employed by trading co. inc will be following the conventional wisdom there is a chance to outwit - years leading up to 2007 housing crash spring to mind as an example where this can happen.
>this madness is going to become the norm for the next generation

all the hype and the news and market valuations might create the illusion that there is a lot of crypto activity but compare the money moved through crypto to money moved across normal financial markets. SWIFT moves 5 trillion per day, Tenpay does 500 billion transactions per year. There is what, a few hundred thousand bitcoin transactions per day?

In its current state crypto does not and will not influence the lives of ordinary people who go shopping, pay their rent and whatnot.
Get people gifts that remind them of your relationship.
These attacks on meritocracy by journalists are getting tiring.

Meritocracy as it is defined by its proponents just means the most competent person gets the job or gets admitted. It doesn't mean that it's someone's hard work or whatever that leads to their competence. These critics don't grasp this distinction.

Moreover, this idea of entrenching "status hierarchies" is silly because it ignores the reality of genetic inheritance of intelligence. If a mother and son both have 150 IQ because of a genetic gift, then yes I want them both to get into MIT. This is not entrenching hierarchies. It simply follows from the cold reality that smart parents are more likely to have smart kids.

Also, higher education is far from a meritocracy either in vision or in practice. Asians and to a lesser extent Whites are routinely discriminated against, and money can buy access either through donations or by being legacy admits. SATs are the least problematic part of this picture.

What should be criticized are these prestigious higher education institutions keeping supply artificially capped instead of scaling up. They do this because they have turned education into a positional good. It's wrong and yet you never hear these Ivy-educated journalists railing against it because doing that would threaten their own status as part of the scarce elite.
They still have access to TSMC ( for now ).

> you now owe income tax on those miles.

How do you calculate the tax on that?
I personally think that people motives are multi factorial. It is simplistic to project societal values on a group of people, especially the CS professors and PhDs, many of which are introverted and lead a quiet and simple lives. They engage in those programs because it is more aligned with their temperaments and personalities, as why joining big-tech research, because that is where the cutting-edge research is being done.

Sure the prestige and money might follow, but for some it is more of a pleasant side effect than the ultimate goal. As an anecdote, I had a math university who was riding the public transport daily beside me, he was so simple and approachable that looking at him and his lifestyle you will never think he makes money or teaching at uni, yet his brain was sharp and his passion to mathematics was clear once he starts teaching. He is too "smart" to occupy his mind with status and vanities of life beyond his basic needs.

Note that I'm not dismissing that many do those things for status and money but I tend to believe that a lot of the leaders in those areas do it because they can.
Had a family member that worked at the plant for several years, and this article nails it - despite there being an energy shortage (enough) people don't want nuclear power so it's not profitable.

Lists of Startup Tools Are Not Useful
Trucks and agriculture equipment already use 24V systems, so the point is moot. Vehicle usage during the lifetime of a truck greatly exceeeds the lifetime of a personal passenger vehicle and agriculture equipment is also exposed to dust and grime, yet both continue to operate normally. So I guess it's more of a cost problem than a component issue.
