It's not Apple's fault that Global Foundry and Intel didn't invest in the 3nm. If you read up on Apple and Intel you would know that Apple (Jobs) was ready to use their CPUs for the iPhone but they won't produce anything other than the x86 (note: StongARM is shelved). Same crap happened with the PowerPC consortium. Motorola would not produce any enhancements in the CPU that dealt with graphics processing cause they only cared about their networking devices. IBM didn't care about power efficiency because they just wanted CPU that were going into their mainframe. Apple worked an agreement with Intel to make the Intel processor (not AMD) exclusive for the Mac, Apple would get new top of the line CPUs in quantity and Intel would get access to Apple's PowerPC patents (AltiVec). Intel also started to ignore the laptop market (just sold underclocked existing processors). Apple dabbled in CPUs with the iPhone 4S and years later released the M1.

There pretty much is one true notation. There could be some slight variations, like bolding vectors, putting an arrow over them or not distinguishing them at all from scalars. But 95% of the time everyone uses the same notation.

That's accurate. In NL until the 70's we had two levels of delivery, 127V (phase to ground, transformer in 'star' configuration) and 220V (phase to phase, transformer in 'delta' configuration). The latter is interesting because it doesn't actually have a neutral wire at all.

The former was close enough that you could get away with plugging in US or Japanese devices, but if there was anything synchronous in there you'd be out of luck (50 Hz vs 60 Hz). Then 220V became the standard and now it is all 240.

Interesting tidbit: there was so much inertia from older systems that needed upgrading in this that it took until 2004 until the last of it (the 127->220V change) was finally done.

> Every politician desperately wants you to vote.

Not true. Depending on the voters demographics politicians want you to vote or to stay at home. You can see this clearly in USA where one side wants immigrants to have voting rights and easy way to vote and the other side wants to make it as hard as possible for them to vote, preferably to ban it altogether.

In Poland it's the same, but the divisions are different - mostly city vs countryside and old vs young. So for example PIS moved the presidential elections to holidays (when most young people from cities are away from home and have to deal with more bureaoucracy to vote) and sponsored special prizes for villages with the highest voting percentage.

Other examples is voting abroad - when PIS had majority there - it made it easier to vote from abroad; now that most people abroad vote opposition - PIS made it very hard to vote from abroad and hundreds of thousands of votes from abroad weren't counted for formal reasons.

Another thing is - in a very polarized society it's almost impossible to make person switch voting from one side to the other. But it's possible to persuade your opponent voters to stay at home. Hence targeted PR campaigns in social media.

Politicians want to get and keep power, that's universal, but some politicians will break the rules to achieve that goal and others won't. It's counterproductive to treat them all the same just because you think being cynical is cool.

Without commenting on the validity of the article, it is true that the data in circulation about China in the West is highly distorted due to barriers in language, culture and the internet.

> receiving SPL USDC is receiving actual money

Not according to my grocery store.

The argument was, cryptocurrency is good for remittances. Remittance is mostly used to send money to people who actually need to use it to buy things. You need to get that money into a form that is actually usable.
Math notation has evolved to be what it is because it is useful for the actual doing of math, and the communication of math to those who have sufficient background. It's not deliberately designed to keep people out, and there are literally hundreds of thousands of books that introduce people to the notations used, to help on-board them.

Haskell is unreadable to one who has not trained in it or similar languages ... why don't they make the syntax more readable? Or C++ with its modern templating ... why don't they change the syntax to make it more readable?

You might be tired of wandering into someone else's area of expertise and telling them:

You must change! You must make it more accessible!

Believe me, mathematicians are tired of non-mathematicians wandering up and saying:

Look! Computer programs are easy and intuitive and everyone can understand them, even without training! Make math like that!

Do you really believe that math notation is deliberately designed to make it hard for people untrained in math to learn how to use it? Do you really believe that no one has tried to make it more accessible?

Do you really believe you know more about why math notation is what it is than mathematicians and trained mathematics educators do?
Sure it could. It'd just need a polarized, grounded plug with the ground strap tied to the body.

I used to be like this.

One of my greatest friends and associates lives for life itself.

When we first collaborated on a project I had gotten a head start on it and was investing crazy hours.

As if it were the rule, I burnt out after the core implementation was done.

That's when his super powers kicked in.

While I had been toiling and feeling like a solo dev for my "heroic" commitment, he had been intimately learning my code and was fresh to build all the required features on top.

I learned a really valuable lesson about the nature of teamwork. To this day, if someone slightly lifts a finger or sounds the quietest of utterances, they're still doing more than I should ever expect.

For people who ask, "why use text-only editors like vim or Emacs, when I can use a full GUI IDE?":

One of the reasons I haven't seen mentioned much is: I'm a touch typist, and I hate having to switch between mouse and keyboard! I have to take my attention off the screen. Slows me down. Disturbs my concentration.

With Emacs, I can work for hours without ever having to hunt for the mouse, or without even having a mouse plugged in. That's particularly nice for using my Ubuntu laptop on a lap desk, leaning back in my armchair. The best mouse is no mouse at all.

Yes, I know many IDEs have shortcut keys for some commands, but the basic assumption with GUI applications is that you have a mouse. Even if you learn the shortcuts, somehow you always end up having to use the mouse for some common task, e.g., to select a paragraph. That's why I never got to like a GUI IDE, despite having had to use Eclipse for years.
I have wondered too. I am on on, like, my fourth toaster. They work for a few years then fail in some non fixable way. So I toss and order another from Amazon. Think of all the material waste. Not very eco-friendly. But it’s another 30 bucks and comes next day …

Is there a market for ‘buy it for life’ toaster. The question is will people pay 2-4X as much as cheap china toaster? Would you pay $150 for a lifetime toaster with replaceable parts? Would you pay $200? Or just 20% more than the next model? Would the retro angle get people to do it? Would the eco angle? Or the ‘right to repair’ angle? Or is it just easier to toss the thing and get another from our friends in Seattle?
My understanding is that in Finland only the Government (or an other democratic entity such as the Municipality or the City) can execute surveillance on a public space. For example the bike parking area next to my office is deemed a public space, the office building next to it cannot point its security cameras to that direction. Which is a shame since there is a lot of bike theft and vandalism, but the city doesn't want to install their own cameras.

People are allowed to take photos and videos on a public area, but aren't allowed to leave a recording device there.
This toaster was expensive when it launched, but could be considered worth the money since it would last for a long time and it seems to have a good resale price even today.

On the other hand, today it is hard to buy simple things of good quality on Amazon - example 100% cotton or 100% woolen clothes. And it would be harder in a physical superstore like Target or Walmart.
If you liked the video and didn't know about Technology Connections, I can only recommend (strongly) to go through the channel's archive: Alec mostly goes through old or somewhat intemporal stuff, so technical and editing chops aside the content really doesn't age, and I've yet to see a video from him that's not interesting nerdery.
> Programs do come with man pages! And tutorials, interactive tours, contextual help, and more. Emacs comes with 3 books, and a tutorial. (GNU) libc has a book to it. Firefox has a whole portal (MDN) as its documentation. Visual Studio comes with MSDN and a huge amount of explanatory material. And when it comes down to code, you have auto-completion, go to definition, search for callers; you can hover over a symbol and you get a popup with documentation and types. I just can't see how you can even put math papers and programs on the same scale in terms of accessibility!

You are comparing big teams and products to a single guy writing a paper intended for a niche audience and to be read maybe a few hundred times if he is lucky. People makes mistakes and sometimes forget to document everything, they try to document everything though as can be seen in their papers where most things are documented well, but sometimes they miss things and unlike code you don't have compiler warnings telling you about it. And given how few people read those papers it isn't worth investing in a team to go through and update all of those papers to properly add definitions for everything they missed.

The equivalent to those programs in math would be high school textbooks, and they are extremely well documented and easy to read in most cases.

This actually applies to a lot of old tech and old software. The idea that old == bad is permanently seared into the brains of people. Thanks to marketing. There should be a good balance between trying out new things (new JS frameworks!) and then if it doesn't work, STOP. Modern society is moving towards criticism == bad, which leads to things like Youtube removing dislike visibility and inability to challenge ideas in a corporate setting (someone might just get offended by criticism).

My hope and expectation for society is to balance experimentation and criticism. We need both in equal amounts. A good analogy that I keep is gradient descend algorithm - if we get stuck in a local optima, unless we undo things, there is no way to improve (This is criticism). At the same time, if we don't allow picking new directions, improvement is hopeless (This is experimentation).
There are size and character limits on DNS, so it's not infinite, although it may still be a pretty large space. Charts.(something well known) could have been a dictionary check though.

Solving the turing test, or getting close to. Basically, being able to have a real conversation with a computer. Of course with the restriction, that a AI smart enough to solve the turing test, might also already be smart enough to not solve it ...

I don't know your background, but I wonder how broad it is in terms of mathematical topics. The notations used in Algebraic Topology vs Category Theory vs Algebraic Number Theory vs Analytical Combinatorics vs Complex Analysis.

This isn't a criticism, it's just that notations vary wildly in those areas, and there's lots of cross-over of notations, not all of which agree with each other.

I'm not an expert, but I've had some exposure to the problem(s).
With how the inflation is going they might be right
The problem is when you go back and forth between trying if it worked, turning power on and off again, and at some point you become sloppy and forget that you didn't turn it off.

I've electroshocked myself twice while working on appliances (not PCs). After going back and forth a few times I thought I had turned off the circuit breaker (which also has a vibrant red strip to show that it's hot) but I didn't and touched the live wire.

If you look at safety guidelines for electricians, they require people to have multiple safeguards in place so that a single mistake doesn't kill you.

That being said, household voltages probably won't kill you and some people open PC cases while they are running, so there's that. As long as you're not messing with the power supply I don't think PCs are really that dangerous.
