I think you are misreading the comment at the root of this whole thread. They aren't saying "if you go up a tax bracket, ALL of your income goes down because you pay more taxes!" but instead saying "you might make more money but despite that, you will not be able to buy more things." I don't think tax brackets have anything to do with this besides being tied to how much you make.
That's not how the progressive tax system in America works.
While there's nothing to fear from taxes, there is the completely separate issue of the benefits cliff [0]. When you just barely make enough to no longer qualify for SNAP or childcare and you lose 100% of those benefits instead of it phasing out based on your pay. This benefit is often worth more than a normal raise, so while you you don't take home less in your paycheck, you do have fewer resources overall. Phasing out benefits instead of making them all or nothing is a simple way to address this.

I'm reading the excellent "The soul of a new machine" by Tracy Kidder right now. Your post has helped visualize the types of computers mentioned in the book.
We call EdgeDB a graph-relational database. Its type system is essentially a graph of object types, yet out set-based query language and the fundamental data model are still relational.
Also aren't service workers technically multi-threading? That's been a thing for a while in the browser now.

Don't see why we are blaming Google for not bowing to Qualcomm rather than Qualcomm's low level of support.
It’s always weird applying inflation to an individual.

Some things changing hit some people more than others. For example, high fuel prices would hit those very dependant on fuel.
I can't speak to the EU, but living in the non-California US, yes. I've gotten next-day replacements accompanied by a box for returning the bricked phone. This is accompanied by the caveat that if they don't receive the bricked phone in something like 30 days, you're on the hook for the full purchase price of the replacement they sent you.
How long though? This is the painful economics of technology.

I think a more pointed argument is the relationship the software, hardware, and consumer has in this.

As consumers we really can only vote with our purchasing and much of it is mired in learning by induction what we do/don't want.

The walled garden and immense control of iOS is great until it isn't. The open landscape and diversity of Android is great until it isn't.

The hardware manufacture and telecoms are an added pain in the mobile ecosystem. They want a hook into getting advertising in front of you so some of this hardware is subsidized through bloatware and system level apps that can't be removed. I have an Amazon Prime app that I cannot uninstall (only hide) because it is a system app!?! Hardware manufacturing is a loss at the start of the sale and supporting it is an added cost.

The economics of the system are problematic and going to iOS will only work long enough until it doesn't. Point I'm making is the problem is upstream.

Thank you! We receiced ZhengBang pick and place machine last week and did nit have the time to unpack it yet. We will definitely be careful now.
Yep. And in the last week, the rich have lost more money than anybody else.

It’s all a function of two things: 1. what percentage of your wealth is where, (ie home, stock market, checking account) and 2. Even if you and a rich man are both 80% in the stock market, he’ll come out in absolute terms having made more money.

Is that fair? I think so. Both made the same percentage. And if it drops, he’ll lose more absolute money, too.
Browsers will always lag behind desktop applications by a decade or two because everything is designed by committee and takes forever to arrive (see e.g. SSE, AVX, GPGPU compute). And even if everyone can eventually agree on and implement the smallest common denominator hardware will already have evolved beyond that.

In addition, browsers have to fight all kinds of nefarious attackers, so it is a very hostile environment to develop in. For example, we can't even measure time accurately (or do proper multithreading with shared memory) in the browser thanks to the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities. https://meltdownattack.com/

That being said, WebGL implements extremely gimped shaders. Yet, they are still more than enough to render all kinds of functions. For example, see https://www.shadertoy.com/ or https://glslsandbox.com/ which are huge collections of functions which take screen coordinates and time as input and compute pixel colors from that, i.e. f(x, y, t) -> (r, g, b). This might sound not very impressive on first glance, but people have been amazingly creative within this extremely constrained environment, resulting in all kinds of fancy 3D renderings.
I hope Bagel has a schmear operator
Ha, I had a friend who had the exact same problem when writing up his PhD thesis. His solution? Take modafinil just before going to bed - he would then sleep through the first 8 hours or so and wake up fully charged. By the time he got to the end of the day it would be wearing off and he would repeat the whole process. He did that for about a month straight I think. Having said that he was a bit nuts in general!
What do you intend to connote by saying someone is "rich," though? What does it signify?

If the definition of "rich" is "independently wealthy," that family certainly doesn't meet it. They still have to work for a living.

If it means you never have to worry about where the next meal is coming from or losing the roof over your head, sure, a lot of people are "rich." And maybe this is better than 90% of humanity does, but it's still not a reasonable first world standard for being "rich" IMHO.
My experience goes the other way. 75%+ have been at my company for 5+ years.
I haven't owned an Android device in a while but I always thought the argument here is if the manufacturer stops supporting the device, you can always get support through the community via custom ROM's.

With so many devices in the wild, I wonder if the Pixel 3 will become our generations HTC HD2 (which got community support for seemly an eternity).
Around the time of the snowden leaks we learned that the NSA was installing backdoors on Cisco firewalls bound for foreign countries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_Systems#Firewall_backdoo...

"A document included in the trove of National Security Agency files released with Glenn Greenwald's book No Place to Hide details how the agency's Tailored Access Operations (TAO) unit and other NSA employees intercept servers, routers and other network gear being shipped to organizations targeted for surveillance and install covert firmware onto them before they are delivered. These Trojan horse systems were described by an NSA manager as being "some of the most productive operations in TAO because they pre-position access points into hard target networks around the world."

That is awesome, and I'll take a look definitly. But doesn't help for my biggest pain point that is online banking.

They usually require some Google APIs within their own app so I am stuck with using a (unrooted) android phone.
Litestream author here. I haven’t looked at Durable Objects yet so I don’t think Litestream would currently work with it. I may add support in the future but I’m adding separate serverless functionality to be released later this year. That’ll allow Litestream to run on Cloudflare Workers or GCR or other ephemeral platforms like those.
I would argue that there is actually a lot more recession and unemployment happening, and that the numbers provided are not an accurate representation of what is actually happening due to market manipulation and the government and fed artificially pumping the markets... hence the inflation and market instability.
Yes, it is. But not in a way that the author of TFA would recognize. Nor in a way recognizable to the people whose work he's citing.

He's talking about Evangelical takes on Christianity, which Tolkien would have found fundamentally misguided. The author doesn't seem to understand what it is that makes Catholicism different. And neither would many Catholics, since Tolkien is talking about a literally medieval Christian view.

If you want to understand Tolkien's Christianity, you don't read evangelical books. You read Boethius. You also read Beowulf, which like Tolkien is book by a Christian author looking at a pre-Christian past. Those were the world-views that formed what the Catholic church became.

Of course there isn't any Christianity in Middle-earth. It's before Christ. But these were "virtuous pagans" -- and asking what those virtues were. The key virtue is faith -- what Tolkien called Estel, which is the Elvish name of Aragorn. He often translates it as Hope, but it's a special kind of hope in a long-term salvation that goes beyond this world.

TFA is Just Plain Wrong on a lot of points. It's not based on a Christian Medieval Europe -- if anything, it owes more to Norse myths. The kind of myths that got incorporated into saints by the Catholic church, putting an organized spin on that faith that predates knowledge of salvation.

TFA is right that Tolkien's connection to the modern Catholic church isn't the strongest. But that's an Evangelical Christian take on what Christianity means. Tolkien's view of Christianity is of world-view rather than attachment to a Church.

If the author is rejecting Evangelical Christian attempts to co-opt Tolkien, he's absolutely right. Their world view is diametrically opposed to his. But their idea that they own Christianity is at odds with reality, despite their success at making Americans believe it.
On the other side, it's possible that we have too many people expecting careers in science. If you look at top-tier work from the 1700s-1950s it's remarkable how productive and impactful the same set of scientists were. Each scientist would produce a few grad student successors over their entire career - and were presumably deeply invested in their success because of this.

Since the 1950s US institutions have been producing many more grad students than there could ever possibly be positions for. This simply increases the competition and favors anti-competitive approaches to science (block alternative theories funding, buddy up with a few others to control what papers get accepted to conferences etc. )
The tooling at Y! sounded quite good from the descriptions. Kind of confirmed my thoughts that the proper way to run a FreeBSD system is to make hopping versions not affect hosted applications through specific tooling and/or infrastructure. Especially the bit about building on older versions and such. Not really sure what more would address the version complaints from @rsync.
> So this is for quickly training different architectures for the same task?

It's for instantly training/pretraining any architecture for one or more predefined tasks (e.g., you could have a GNN for visual tasks, a GNN for NLP tasks, etc.), but you could also have a multi-domain GNN which accepts two inputs: an architecture and a domain.
I've found NextCloud a little buggy. OwnCloud seemed a lot more stable (used it for years). NextCloud has more features and is more secure I guess? But sometimes stuff doesn't work quite right. Auto Upload for phone for instance is hit and miss.

It does seem there are less bugs over the past year or so or maybe I'm just learning to deal with it, but it does seem OwnCloud was more stable.
I feel like one of the biggest antidotes to this is just a simple daily standup. My team does this, a daily 30 minute meeting, and everyone says what they're working on as well as any blockers. Seems to work very well in terms of course correction at an early point.
I am very interesting in the performance implications here as their _has_ to be some performance tradeoffs given you have to serialize / deserialize across the bindings. I get that Rust is fast, but at what point does the trade-off no longer make sense?
The smart watch is pretty powerful for motivating and giving a sense of achievement to running.

Google Maps and its transit directions make it fairly idiot-proof to navigate a city on your own two feet, assuming transit is decent.

Not so much our kind of tech, but bicycle materials and components have advanced pretty rapidly I think.
How is it pretending?

If we go back some time there might have been a parallel argument being made where one side was convinced that the solution to enable greater food stability and surplus was more farmers, and the other side was convinced that the solution was better technology.

Neither side is really wrong, they just have different perspectives. Most problems can be solved in a practically infinite number of ways.

We use SWC with ts-node to strip types in dev for faster iteration loops and run the full tsc typechecker in CI (and optionally as a separate process on your local machine).
Same thing with a move to Mac over a decade ago. I still feel icky that most of the stuff I've listened to this past decade is archived on such a closed platform, and once in a while it itches enough that I use a downloader of sorts to try and at least archive them somewhere. But the curated library of tags, endless dynamic playlist generation, and aimless wandering through torrents and articles are all but gone. And along with it a certain aspect of the love for music.
this is a long article about a weird flex. The device is still very much usable for majority daily usage and until hardware starts to go shouldn't be tossed out or even feelings of pressure to ditch it. Weird.
Have had old Nexuses, Moto Gs etc lying around in case something goes wrong with current device and they're all still very usable even if the OS is a few versions back. Any regular apps still work and have their own security built in via SSL, passwords, 2FA, whatever, which is enough for the average user. Overreacting.

And as mentioned numerous times they've been slowly improving the commitment to longer device updates etc! The technology is more suited to it/not as fast-moving as previous years.
another important point to notice is affinity. While 8 uM looks impressive, it is not that hard to develop such potency since compounds are likely to aim ATP binding pocket. It is big, deep and offers many hydrogen bond donors in hindge region. What important for such compounds is selectivity, since you want to inhibit only specific kinase, not all of them.
For me it looks like advertising of their platform, not actual scientific achievement.
> yet it doesn't even count as science fiction

Very dubious that the article's author doesn't consider Hard Sci-Fi to be scifi. It calls into question their assessment of everything tangentially related.
That's why I'm asking how it was 10%
These articles are fantastic. When I started at IBM in the early 80s there were plenty of 360s still around, but the new hotness was 370, so all the training courses, installations, management focus were for the new machines.

The cool kids went to London, Tokyo and Poughkeepsie for training courses - the rest of us toughed it out fixing these venerable old beasts using oscilloscopes and mountains of manuals.

There were no decent helicopter level documentation like Ken's available. Having access to articles like this back then would have been life changing.
>>Would you call OrbisOS, used by PS4, a distribution of FreeBSD?

No one said that, and no one said MacOS is a FreeBSD distribution, you where wrong an now you try too put your half-knowledge into other mouths.

You can stop now.
The lack of hotkeys, weak window management and finder are also failings for me. The mouse curve/acceleration used to terrible, either I got used to it or they fixed it at some point.

Good luck finding affordable real estate in Munich. It's pretty much the most expensive in Germany. Though it may still seem cheap coming from Paris, London etc.
they don't really have a product outside storing data, an amateur could scrape Facebook and do facial recognition and the only reason it hasn't happened yet is because of how expensive the storage would be
That language aspect aside (it's difficult enough to wrap around), the abject and consistent failure around contextual cues is abysmal. Sarcasm, deflection and other aspects of talking patterns in relationships (e.g. I have a good friend and we consistently threaten each other with ever more Rube Goldbergian forms of cartoonish violence -such as offering to trebuchet them into a wall of shattered glass coated in guano- when one of us says something fleetingly dumb, as a running gag. FB has flagged this more than once, and it's dumb AF).

Content management done well is expensive, and requires humans with superior grokking skills. No place cares enough to try.
Presumably if the meat packers also raise wages to keep up with inflation, they will have to charge McDonald’s higher prices for patties. Similarly for lettuce growers, beverage bottlers, etc. All these would put small amounts of pressure on the price of a burger. If the ultimate price ends up going from 2$ to 3$, suddenly the 10$ to 15$ wage hike doesn’t mean anything (except for people who didn’t get the wage hike in the first place).
> People with attitudes similar to the author are the reason there is still a COVID-19 pandemic, in the developed world at least. I'm surprised you don't have experience with them by now.

This line of thinking is crazy: variants are getting every 3-6 months more contagious, sure less harmful, but at the same time more evaise of vaccine. I have some friends who had 3 doses and still had hard time with omiron. At some point all the population will have had some sort of covid in the future, probably multiple time if you think on a decade length of time.

Saying "the pandemic is still there because because of the crazy ones who don't want to confine for a year" is just nonsense. look at australia who had the strictest rules ? They are taking the current wave right in the face.

While it's important to protect old and fragile people, i'm really convinced most young people who were not in contact with old people should have not confined. The risk was super low, upside was to get natural immunity and not kill the economy. Half of the world (the < 40) bowed to fear for exactly 0 positive consequence imo.
In my experience, enterprise Java crowd never spills its managed beans. In my whole career, I couldn't even get any of them admit that JSF may not be the best front end technology in the world. It's a lost cause.
Sounds like you’ve not read anything into the details at all. At face value, yes there could be nothing wrong with a game allowing kids to be creative and share what they build.

But if LEGO started coming with lottery tickets in the kids sets, had adds for exploitative devs that ran real businesses with 7year olds on payroll in “pretend money” that can be exchanged on black sites that LEGO approved of by not taking any actions, well you start to get in to problems.

The thing is that Roblox is not just a unsuspecting pawn here. They are deliberately fostering this, they know about the toxic development environment, so they closed their own forums to avoid legal implications, they knowing promote gambling to kids, they allow sites that exchange in game currency for money because it helps grow their game.

> It also lets kids learn a lot of entrepreneurial skills if they have that bent, which I view as a massive plus.

I’m sure the experience of working as an underage kid for a grown man sexually targeting underage girls will very valuable in the startup world, especially the part where the company gets informed and doesn’t do anything more than the bare minimum because his child labor ring is making them money.

It’s a game for kids, but it’s not made or owned by kids. We can hold them to a higher bar of responsibility.
This logic is very strange to me...

"Someone can disprove specific claims with hard evidence, but because they did so, the original claim must be accurate."

I don't think "everyone knows" that if a post making baseless claims about you is going viral, and you have concrete proof to dismiss some of the claims, that you should just "keep quiet."

Perhaps in some cases, perhaps not in others.

In this case, the integrity of this forum was called into question, and I think a transparent response is warranted and effective.

But... to each their own.

> People are willingly paying iPhone prices for Purism and Pinephone hardware with low specs and old chips.

...for almost certainly tiny numbers of sales in both cases, and nowhere near "iPhone prices" for Pinephones. Samsung cares about money, and their current strategy is far more lucrative than selling very small amounts of Librem devices at modest profit margins.
tsc relies in shared state and is slow, so they port it to a language that allows shared state.

Strange reasoning.
I think it was actually 1960s dollars. The project was huge for its time, and had it failed, IBM would be but a footnote in the history of computing today.
That sounds like very bad news to me. So now I have to trust whoever made the ceramics to not sacrifice this step, which I can't really check on my own.
I bought an LG G7 from Google Fi, and it was exactly 18 months from the phone's release to when they stopped updating it. I didn't buy it on day one either, so I got even less. I vowed that was the last e-waste phone I'm buying and moved to an iPhone last year.

There are still a lot of things I like better on Android, but it's not worth it.
I don't think flu has ever stretched this many hospitals this badly for so long. Flu is more seasonal and more regional in scope. Assuming COVID hospitalizations follow the same curve as COVID deaths (hospitalizations curve is actually steeper) then we are looking at an order of magnitude worse situation than flu.

In other words, for the 100th time, COVID ain't the flu.
This is what happens when you don't buy an iPhone.

I get this, but honestly it's more important for me to have a phone that works... I can deal with inexplicable software changes, I make some of my own. At one point I had the same iPhone for 4 years.

When I tried Android I couldn't get the same device to stick around for more than a year. After my 5X bootloop fiasco I tried another manufacturer and found out I couldn't even upgrade my software to patch a security issue because I had to wait on the vendor to add their crapware before releasing the update. I waited 6 months after Google released their update and then gave up... I don't know how Android users deal with the update nonsense.

I'll definitely agree that that motto and indeed the name of the sub itself are not at all representative of the current state of the sub. It didn't start out that way, but over time as it grew it attracted people who just enjoyed the "shit on your boss" aspect of it without understanding the original message.
