A Study Is Going Viral Among Anti-Vaxxers. The Author Says They Are All Wrong
I wonder is Apple already decided to reintroduce MagSafe for MacBook when they named iPhone's magnet MagSafe.
MicroAcquire seems appropriate.
For context for those unfamiliar with German dialects: dubbing a stereotypical Black person with a Bavarian accent in German is the cultural equivalent of dubbing them with a German or Swedish accent in English.

Of course the joke mostly works because it lampshades bigoted cultural assumptions about race in Germany: a lot of Germans in the 1990s said "Afro-Amerikaner" when they meant Black (regardless of nationality, even Germans) because they thought it was more "politically correct" and the thought a Black person might be a native citizen never occurred to them. This has improved somewhat over the years but since the film was originally released in 1980, I doubt the cultural awareness was any better at the time.

To be clear: I'm not saying the joke is bigoted, I'm saying the joke worked because it played off bigoted assumptions.
Sure, but it's an Apple cable plugging into an Apple socket. They don't have to be constrained by the USB-C specs and could implement a custom high power charging mode. In fact I believe some other laptop manufacturers already do this.

So, there's these people who claim to be multiple persons, sometimes with different genders..
I think the political correctness culture is now ripe for the next step: multiple people of different genders identifying as one single human person with one single gender.
Damn, they could at least just trash the hard drives and just give them to local schools or something...
I read a lot of books, and let me tell you: there's quite a few that should've had an editor telling the author exactly that. On the other hand there are books that just have a lot to tell. That's fine. Take the words you need, but no more.

Internet longreads tend to just have been made longer to be long. Their favourite strategy seems to be to just not talk about the subject, but about their journey of discovery and the journey of all the people they've encountered along the way, and about how they look, and how special they are. And then, finally, after they've explained the entire history since the fucking Big Bang, they'll talk about the subject for a few sentences. It always turns out to be unsatisfyingly banal and not worth the journey.

Low information density is annoying.
I remember some concern about bottle and jar openers without guards meaning the cap on a soda bottle could hit the user on the eye. I think my mum quietly "stole" the one my grandma had, since her grip was becoming a bit weak.

> S.V. Subramanian, the Harvard professor of population health and geography behind the paper [Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States], says the vaccine doubters are completely wrong.

> “That conclusion is misleading and inaccurate,” Subramanian told me of Horowitz’s Blaze column over email. “This paper supports vaccination as an important strategy for reducing infection and transmission, along with hand-washing, mask-wearing, and physical distancing.”
Those include the USB-C to HDMI converter in the connector, instead of in a separate dongle.

It is more convenient than the separate dongle, but not as convenient as having a HDMI connector on the laptop.

If you have HDMI on the laptop, you might find a HDMI cable wherever you go. With only USB-C, your only chance is to always carry with you the USB-C to HDMI converting cable.
You can blame Apple for having made dumb decisions in the past, but you can't blame them for fixing them now. Also, what additional efforts and problems with the notch are you talking about ?
I've seen tweets that contain more relevant details than some Atlantic articles.

No matter what changes apples implements (even if its reverting to things people wanted back), people like you will always find a way to complain. Having used an iphone for a while, the notch really isn't noticeable, and I'd trade it for having a thick black border at the top any day.
Indeed, that argument feels very much like "you're holding it wrong". Technology should adapt to us, not the other way around. Especially human interface devices like keyboards.

Part of the issue with Apple's keyboards is that the activation point is so close to the bottom due to the short travel. Lenovo does this a lot better and it's really a joy to type on. Bottoming the keys out hard is instinctively reduced due to the earlier and clearer feedback.
> We are the first generation ever to have a permanent digital paper trail and it scares the hell out of me. We’re meant to be forgotten.

What scares me is in 100 years time there will be far less known about 2000-2020 than 1980-2000

I've got 200 year olds pieces of paper in my house, I've got letters and photos from 50 years ago. I have hardly anything left from 2003 (when I started using a digital camera) through 2010 (when I started using an iphone, and it's all on icloud)

In the unlikely event apple still exists, and still does this type of storage, It's unlikely anyone will still be paying for my icloud service in 2120.

Perversely, digital data that's abandoned degrades far more than analog data.

From the Goodreads blurb: ”a novel focused on the letters exchanged between Tina, a hardworking farm wife of three children and a museum curator and widower named Anders in Denmark. Their unlikely correspondence begins when Tina's seeks more information about the museum's most famous exhibit.”
I think it's more about teaching kids/newbies to think in a programming way. That can be language agnostic. You're essentially trying to achieve something "complex" using simple instructions. At a basic level that's a great way to learn programming. As the problems get more complex it becomes obvious why paradigms & architectures exist, and your programming skills can improve.
Today's public RC build has the number of 21A558. It is too different from the one listed in my opinion.
I don't miss the weird misogynistic elements of his writing at all.

It's a shame that technical blogging in general has faded away so much though.
These models capture similarity on such a scale that they manage to learn patterns of language well, in terms of grammar they learn it indirectly - it is not manually coded, particularly the later models that we speak about. Our focus here is more on encoding text (and images) in a way that they can be compared to other text or image based on their meaning/imagery rather than syntax

But the later transformer models have a good grasp of grammar - similar to when we learn to speak as children, it isn't necessary to be taught grammar directly, but we can figure it out over time based on the patterns of language.
Yes but no. Patents also make it somewhat possible to challenge FAANG et al, if you come up with a novel idea.
This was my biggest concern too, that my £300 dock would be rendered instantly obsolete. It’s nice that I could still plug these new pros into a dock with a single usb-c cable and have charging, multiple displays and usb connectivity all with one cable.
This comment is quite ironic. A condescending comment against perceived condescending comment.

To answer your question.

In marketing there is a rule, the more your audience knows the less effective marketing is.

While trying not come over as condescending. If you study cs data structures and distributed computing. Then the first comment is obvious.
I guess it depends on which end of the joke you are. And how often do you have to deal with it. It could be just a joke, or straight up bullying mascarading as joking. I am sure you know what I mean.

Your belief that "The Nordic countries have removed Moderna from circulation for younger people because it kills them more than COVID does" IS "disinfo", and dystopian in its own right. You are merely proving the point of the original post.

The remarkable thing is that the new machines in emulation mode are usually comparable to or faster than the older machines.

The central reason is that most programmers make no use of the immense capabilities that modern processors provide. For example, using AVX2 or AVX-512, you can do do magic in accelerating some algorithms on x86. Software that makes use of these will likely be quite slow on (Apple's) ARM processors.

Precisely. Not all USB-C Cable are PD cable. Telling the story again.

I was trying to help a lawyer out and trying to explain why the $5.00 USB-C cable he'd bought from Amazon wasn't delivering 4K video to his expensive monitor AND powering his laptop too.

Me: OK: so its a USB-C cable, but its not a high data rate USB-C cable.

Him: But, its a USB-C Cable.

Me: but, no, not all USB-C cables are high speed cables. And some of them can't do high speed and power delivery

Him: but... its a USB-C cable: it plugs into the port.

Me: Um... just because it plugs in, doesn't mean its going to work. You can have USB-C cables that are actually slower than the old USB ports.

Him: but.... shouldn't it just work?

And so on. For... 15? more minutes? maybe 30? I finally got him to buy a "proper" belkin USB-C cable . Which was bought from a company that should be anonymous, but lets just say that a "refurbished" cable was shipped, which, surprise, surprise ,didn't work, for ANYTHING.
This basically sums up everything that is wrong with Tech thinking vs User Thinking.

I am avoiding those new "reveling" documentaries, especially on Netflix but also elsewhere. There are so many cases where they are painting a picture instead of telling me all the facts (which may be impossible) that I'm afraid to get a one-sided narrative. They are basically entertainment at the moment and should be considered fiction.

Same goes for certain writers books. They are getting paid to write books and then pick something that sells and paint a narrative. And then people think this is true, wholly true or useful whereas it may not.

So sad, so scary.
Not sure about that, I interviewed with Expensify 10 years ago when they had about 2-3 employees. At the time, David clearly had no idea what he was talking about when it came to code. Remember when he posted that inflammatory blog post about not hiring .NET developers? David was super rude to me.
This movie simply hasn't aged very well. The jokes are pedestrian. Many of them take aim at people's sex or race, but not in a challenging way.

I'm not offended by any of the jokes, and I still laugh at some of them, but mostly because of nostalgia. If you're reacting poorly to people being offended by some of the crude race/sex based humor, I hate to break it to you, but you're getting offended in an even worse way than them.
Same with my Momentum 3 headset. It charges over any USB-C cable "that can also carry data". If the cable is power-only (and surprizingly, many are power-only, including Apple's cables that come with iPad/MacBook) it won't charge even though I just need to charge my headset and (obviously) no data transfer.

It's stupid, but it is unfortunatelly the way it is.

There is indeed a bunch of variety among academics in economics, but a very heavy filter biases which kinds of economic opinions make it into the broader public sphere.

This has a lot to do with how think tanks are, on average, politically biased due to their funding sources, and so one could argue that it's not academics' fault.

Still, I often feel that academics in economics too easily abdicate their responsibility for how the subject impact society.
notch bothers me a lot. i was ready to buy, and i hope all you guys enjoy, but i’ll be sitting the notch out. it was one thing on a phone. this is just dumb.
This has a lot to do with your present listening habits, unfortunately. 7 years in, I still get new stuff in discover weekly, though there are also a good deal of repeats which are frankly "discoveries" as far as Spotify is concerned, but nothing new from my perspective. Basically, Spotify is also recommending I listen to stuff I used to listen to a lot before I started using it (and could therefore afford to listen to more than just whatever was loaded on my phone at the time)...

Your comment reminded me of this article in the Prospect Magazine: https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/what-the-economi...

"The Economist was founded by the liberal Scottish banker James Wilson as a mouthpiece of the movement for free trade. This was originally a broad church stretching from radicals like Richard Cobden and John Bright to the cotton interests of Manchester. But that coalition frayed as Wilson opposed assistance to Ireland during the famine and backed the authoritarian usurper Napoleon III following the 1848 revolution in France. By the 1850s, Wilson was doing battle with his erstwhile friends over his support for a war against Russia in the Crimea. This started a tradition. As one outspoken foreign editor remarked at his retirement from the newspaper, the Economist has yet to see a war it does not like. Again and again, spreading and defending the benefits of western liberalism has offered justification for imperial adventure."
That's fascinating. I can remember pre-internet days being resigned to not knowing stuff.
For example albums in my country generally didn't include the lyrics. Every time it came on the radio, I asked people what was the singer saying over and over in REM's "The sidewinder sleeps tonight". Nobody knew.
