But they really don't have all the sources. Up until Pixel 6, they've all used Qualcomm chipsets.

Qualcomm is such a ridiculously horrible company to deal with. They're in the business of selling new SoC designs every 6 months and trying to support a device for more than a few years is considered a massive opportunity cost for them.

It's the same concept as Apple mulching old MacBooks so they don't enter the used market except killing them by lack of software support instead.

They have an absolute stranglehold over the SoC market in the US. Samsung made a stupid deal back in the 90's to license CDMA patents in exchange for not selling SoCs (eventually Exynos) in the US or to any other manufacturer for that matter. At the time it probably made sense because Qualcomm agreed to use Samsung to manufacture their chips, but the deal is so hilarious lopsided these days. 30 years on and Qualcomm still won't renegotiate. It might've drawn regulatory ire if Samsung wasn't a foreign company.
Google drops FLoC after widespread opposition, pivots to “Topics API” plan
I work at Warp (https://www.warp.dev/) where Zach, the author of the post, is the founder.

One practice we’ve gotten into the habit of is demoing projects at standup as soon as possible. I’ve found this has been useful to force myself to get to an end-to-end version of a project sooner. This is useful not just in derisking the technical implementation but also in getting product feedback sooner. By playing around a live demo earlier, we often find that the product experience needs to be refined in ways we couldn’t validate from Figma mocks alone.
>always feels more dangerous to me than all traffic moving at 90/100mph.

That's because it is.

The high speed differential creates all sorts of opportunities for conflicts.
If a canadian takes a picture of a canadian in canada, for example, it's canadian jurisdiction. And so long as any consequences for breaking it are limited to canada as well, it seems like it's still just canadian jurisdiction. It's not like they're trying to extradite the CEO for what they did in the US, or provide any extra-canadian consequences, right?
I feel like there's a missing middle ground here. Sure, we don't have to go back to the days of peel off or slide off backs. But why not allow the phone to be opened easier? Perhaps a few tiny screws and a gasket vs...glue?

Replacing a battery is technically possible still, it just requires a ton of patience, a heat gun, maybe a suction cup, maybe a razor knife. And even then you run the risk of breaking the back glass in the process(been there, done that).

I don't think we need to go back to being able to hot swap batteries on the fly, but surely we can come up with something everyday people can realistically do at home.
The market has chosen against that

Did it though? Or did the manufacturers choose that for us by choosing to market phones based on millimeters of measurement and grams of weight and one piece glass backs that most people cover up with a case anyway.

This seems kind of like the car manufacturers saying that they are only meeting demand when they sell large SUV's and trucks, while running ads showing SUV's on dirt trails touting the freedom that a large SUV/truck gives drivers, even though most high end SUV's and trucks won't go any farther offroad than a gravel parking lot at a winery.

If phone manufacturers started competing on environmental costs of their phones instead of being the smallest/lightest, then maybe replaceable batteries would come back.
Good point. I'm not familiar with it.
I mean it's not that toxic, if you are a good worker bee your manager will usually notice and be happy with your performance. Then from time-to-time you branch off to do something more high-risk to add to your promo doc.

I think a lot of people have weaker communication skills than execution skills. So they could loop in everyone early on, but their idea might get killed off because they failed to justify it properly. If instead they leverage their execution skills and make an MVP that will speak for itself, then they bypass that issue.
Correct. Ownership is a legal concept.

Possession exists in a physical sense, but ownership does not.
Airflow Alternatives: Dagster and Prefect
Answering to myself, a colleague suggestion (from tsc doc actually): use tsc --noEmit (for type checking) and a fast compiler.

tsc --noEmit duration is 2/3 of a normal build on our fairly large code base, so that can definitely speeds things up (for CI for example)
Honestly I doubt congresspeople worry too much about the price of buying a new phone.
Nobody, in this comment chain, made the claim that one should intentionally get infected (I don't think, unless I'm missing something implied).

It's inevitable that at least some portion of the population is going to be infected, intentional or not. We wouldn't exactly be in a pandemic otherwise. And it's certainly not some new found knowledge that coming into contact with germs/diseases leads to an immune response to better respond to future infection.

Instead of looking at it as "Why should I intentionally get infected to avoid being infected", maybe try looking at it through the lens of "I've already been infected, how does that change my risk analysis?".
I get that I'm not the target market here, but the headline is quite amusing.

I bought a Pixel 3 specifically _because_ it had support in Lineage and I could whack microG on it.

I have some >8 year old tablets running Lineage and variants.

I do wish though that Google would just IBM PC the ecosystem though. It'd make 1% less money or whatever, so it ain't ever happening.
It's not wrong, it just demonstrates how super niche it is.
for 2. Yes to some degree, at least in terms of degraded functionality It's happened in the past with built in navigation systems where the manufacturer stops releasing updated dvds with new maps, and recently with the retiring of the 2G/edge cellular network - https://www.thedrive.com/tech/43187/how-the-3g-shutdown-in-2...
Pretty sure they're not.
Google's big argument to say they aren't upgrade pixels, is that they can't guarantee security of binary blobs. Fuchsia does nothing to help this.
on a positive note though the IRS now requires that all deposits of $600 or more are reported by the banks ensuring that people like servers and small business owners pay their proper share of taxes. So that should help the government pay the debt. We cant have the poor continuing to not pay their taxes and the rich are too expensive to audit. /s Or at least that's the message I am taking from the current administration that appeared to campaign on the opposite message but what do I know?

Edit: I should have made the /s more prominent. This is sarcasm.
One could load Cyanogenmod or a Linux based phone. Old electronics is a reason we must by law requiere manufacturers to have open devices. A phone should function like a personal computer. Open boot loader, standard boot process, standard chassi.
Clearview is expected to not collect or use pictures of Canadians, presumably taken on the Canadian soil.

That's a perfectly reasonable request.

Just like Google is not allowed to provide street view of certain locations due to local privacy laws. Exact same thing here.
Nobody else had nukes back then, so the calculus was completely different.
And this is part of the reason why places like China have things like the GFW. Because they know that the US would never cooperate with even relatively benign things like foreign privacy laws (let alone more controversial things), so best ban them from the domestic network altogether.

PS: I have no intention of condoning the behavior of building censor networks like the GFW, but until there is some international court to adjudicate Internet jurisdiction cases, my prediction of the future is that there will be more and more countries adopting technological countermeasures and the Internet will be increasingly fragmented.
The Pixel 3 was a great phone. If https://lineageos.org/ or https://calyxos.org/ had been able to come up with an AI assisted camera which could match the Google Camera app (The lens is trash, Google uses software to make good images) then it would have been great.

Benefit of actual quality camera lenses is these open source OS can still provide good photos using a stock android camera app.
Once heard that once you setup your own user.js, Firefox will stop updating default settings, because they might override your settings. Over time that might cause you to not get new features enabled. Is this true?
> There was a school district in a small town that for the first time gave IQ tests to all of the children in some younger age group, I think around 7 or 8. The results showed a several point difference between the white kids and the Black kids. The district wrote this off as due to cultural bias in the tests.

> One teacher decided to look deeper to see if there could be some other factor that could explain the difference.

A "several point difference" sounds like an unusually narrow gap - depressed white scores, maybe? On an unbiased test with no environmental problems, you'd expect to see a gap of around 15 IQ points.
I wholeheartedly agree, if you need daily feedback you're a bad manager (unless you're in some exotic situation like a rocket launch or something).

This issue largely disappears if your engineers are given the proper context, background and system overview.

I'm not advocating everybody should take their project and run with it for weeks on end, but daily updates are ridiculous.
Some are, some are internal as the application is a one page script.
I would not expect any program to reliably predict the effects of single mutations that massively change the protein's shape unless there was enough high quality structural data and sequence data for both substates and enough signal to predict which substate the protein would adopt after mutation.

Fortunately, evolution already encoded robustness against this sort of problem into proteins and the vast majority of single point mutations are tolerated (the resulting enzymes are often nearly as active and stable as the originals).
> This part of their defence is outright laughable. What's the point of having this sort of database without the associated metadata?

I'm not a fan of Clearview AI, but I understand it's still useful even for faces that aren't explicitly tied to an identity in the system, because the if the police know where the matched photo is from, they can do the legwork to fill in the missing details.

I think one of the examples in an early article about it had the police feeding a suspect's face into it. The system found a match in the background of some photo taken at a trade show (the guy was working a both). It only knew the website the photo was from, which allowed the police the identify the trade show, which allowed them to track down the people working at that booth to find their suspect.
I've intentionally never owned a smartphone.

I used a Nokia 3310 for 12 years, starting in high school. When it finally broke (and I was a 30-ish young dad), there were always several "old phones" abandoned by family members or close relatives, so I've been using those to their end ever since. The current one is a Nokia 2600, which I genuinely dislike (tiny buttons, overengineered menu system), but the miserable thing stubbornly works, so what can I do?

IIRC, the idea of constantly reading e-mail or browsing the web from some tiny phone screen made me really uneasy even as a young adult. I surely liked computers, but that, I felt, would be too much. Would I really need anything else except SMS and direct calls from a phone, I thought? Probably not.

I loved talking to telecom salespeople when I had that 3310. "We have this new offer, so many megabytes of Internet, and... what's your current phone, by the way?" they would ask.

"A 3310," I replied.

"...Well, that's surely a classic, sir!" they would reply after a few seconds of silence.

I successfully worked as a journalist for years, whilst living in the dumb phone world. I don't remember having any problems. Neither have I ever gotten hopelessly lost on car trips with only a paper map, or hand-written directions, etc. During the last 3-4 years, though, I do sometimes feel like getting in the way of others, or of life: more and more relevant services seem to assume that the user has a smartphone. But I guess that's life.

I do like the idea of something as barebones as the Hellaphone, Inferno OS on Android phones [1, 2]. But the feature and UI bloat of current casual smartphones still makes me uneasy about getting one (I'll do it if I really have to, though). I occasionally also think about going landline- or even email-only, thus ditching mobile phones and constant availability altogether, but this would probably cause too much mess for our family.

But, re: young urban professionals ditching their smartphones after years of usage: dude, I knew in 2004 that this day will come.

they dont make their money on Windows licenses anyway. they make it on all the crap they shove in your face when you use windows.

you've been able to pirate windows 10 using their "windows 7 free update" key even after they discontinued it. and everyone who got a free upgrade from 7->10 uses the same key so its not like you are gonna get caught.
Exeactly. There is too much emphasis put on rewarding those who make big, disruptive change and large, solo wins. Someone making a lot of little wins are just as valuable yet usually don't any great accolates for it. Not to mention, putting one person on a large-ish project is a great way to create silos.
You don't have to add things one by one. It can import lists.
I think if you want to further limit yourself than Gemini yet maintain some of the semblance of the existing modern web, you can go the Beaker Browser [1] route.

When and where has the cdc claimed that vaccines are equally effective on everyone?

They haven't.

They have said everyone who can should get one because everyone who can should get one.
Deno came too late, there is Go and Rust now
Yes, but I'd argue that is an implementation detail. You can directly run a TypeScript file like this `deno run helloWorld.ts`.

Is Node really a JavaScript runtime? V8 converts the JS to an AST. Would that make Node an `AST runtime`?
Oh wow, you're not kidding about predating Go by quite a while! :-) Thanks for sharing.
Easy embeds, but making a no limit API that will be open for any public content.

Also encryption for anything not public.
I built this package while working on an app that I deployed to production, staging and my local dev environment. I had a couple of scripts (one to deploy, one to migrate the database, etc.) that I wanted to run, but I didn't want to have to maintain one script for each environment doing almost the same but to different endpoints.

So, I built a simple CLI that reads one or more .env files and spawns a new child process running an NPM script from the package, with the environment variables extended with the contents of the files.

It also supports expansion, where one file use the value defined in another file.

Please see the README for more details and usage and consider giving it a spin in your next project if you're faced with a similar problem.
Opus at 64k~=Mp3 128k. There's still interest in better audio codecs in the commercial world, it's just more focused on streaming audio and voice chat these days.
Spending a few weeks on exploratory or speculative work is not really a huge time commitment. If it was going to drag on for months I would question it.

I also challenge the “deliver in small PRs” idea. Yes in practice that would be ideal. But often when you are doing something completely off the map there is no point to submitting the PRs for the 5 things that didn’t work. The author is falling into the same trap that scrum advocates and agilists fall into. Anything can be broken down into teeny tiny bit size deliverables and managed that way. Again, it would be ideal if that were the case, but sometimes you just need to give your best engineers some time and space to swing for the fences.
Best part of quitting coffee is that you can start drinking it again.
That depends. Can those headphones store any amount of information and possibly relay that information to another bluetooth device upon connecting to that? If not...are you absolutely sure it isn't? Anything with memory, a transmitter and an MCU "could" be doing a lot more than it is advertised as doing.

Not saying it is though...but is it possible. Absolutely

I, too, have had fun playing with TensorFlow and MediaPipe to manipulate live video feed and change the background image. My experience is that MediaPipe's SelfieSegmentation model[1] is a lot quicker at identifying the foreground face than TensorFlow's body-pix[2] equivalent.

Another approach I've tried is to use some form of chroma-key filter to identify the background (or foreground) in a video and then use the results of that (per frame) to either change the final output visually, or create clickable links from it[3].

All code in links below is Javascript:

I've read a few times that Sony is doing good work in terms of their kernels, but details eluded me, and as the result I never owned a Sony Android phone. Are they really good in that regard? Do they upstream? How long do they publish security patches for?
Slight nitpick - Crew Dragon currently carries 4 crew members and there's no particular reason it couldn't carry more (ie the rocket could handle it).
I'm a big fan of the Finger Lakes region of NYS for this reason -- Napa Valley is just too fancy for me at this point. The Columbia River Valley up in Washington/Oregon is a good compromise between "too fancy" and "too low-brow" in my opinion -- a nice mix of wineries doing all kinds of weird stuff up there.
Given that ESBuild [0] is a way better replacement for Webpack already (and similarly written in Go) I can see how we could pretty soon have an entire toolchain written in Go for dealing with compiling JS.

Hopefully the whole toolchain will be embeddable, too. Being able to do configuration-in-code and produce an executable that does the whole build step in milliseconds would be cool.

It seems crazy to me that Blizzard/Activision is worth more than Arm.
I get BA has tons of world-famous games, but almost every phone on earth is Arm. Arm is taking over laptops and servers too.
also they have to account for the ever increasing bonuses to the c-suite.
See Chipotle.

"While Chipotle attributes raising menu prices to the growing price of labor, some analysts point to high CEO compensation as another factor. In 2020 CEO Brian Niccol took home $38 million, $1.24 million of which was his base salary. The rest was made up of other incentives and an annual bonus."

Young developers often propose large-scale rewrites with little sense of the costs or risks involved. Changing old code often has unintended side-effects.
Thank you so much for your good words. It means a lot.
On a Mac, Safari Javascript generally outperforms Chrome and Firefox (other browsing tasks are also generally better performing), but there are some workloads where Safari turns out slower, especially when the developer has put a lot of work into Chrome-specific optimization.

Safari also generally uses a lot less memory and CPU for the same websites. Chrome in particular burns through my battery very quickly, and is basically completely incapable of keeping up with my browser use style (it just crashes when I try to open a few hundred tabs). Presumably nobody with authority at Google is a heavy laptop web-user or prioritizes client-side resource use: Google’s websites are also among the biggest browser resource hogs, even when sitting idle in a background tab.

Safari often takes a couple years longer than other browsers to implement cutting-edge features. This seems to me like a perfectly reasonable design decision; some web developers love complaining about it though, and some sites that were only developed against the most recent versions of Chrome don’t work correctly in Safari.
I traveled to LA once just for the sole reason to see the space shuttle there. It was worth it!
find a friend to be your senses.

and have a look here:

https://www.hofstede-insights.com/product/compare-countries/

if the bridge/gap is all too long, that friend might be better from somewhere in the middle of it. As long s/he has something very common with one side and (another) something very common with other side, might be ok.

The one side of the bridge is -you- , and not just a generic culture ~description like above..

You'll also need to grasp the culture, or at least some of the "why"s..

e.g. watch "Stupeur et tremblements"

The point being... _they then know where it's from_, that's the metadata. If they know the trade show, then they know where and when it was, whether it was in Canada and whether they need to delete it.
I hate these arguments. It doesn't matter what their overall revenue is, it only matters what the cost is relative to the product at hand and to the value of the thing they're paying for. Nobody is sitting there approving expenses relative to their overall revenue.

Would you pay $50 for a stick of gum? Why not? If you make hundreds of thousands of dollars, surely it shouldn't phase you?
So I guess where my brain is going with this is...

If Google is aware that no other browsers were going to implement FLoC and that's why they're putting the kibosh on it, why would their alternative then be just another system that those same browsers wouldn't implement?

Maybe this is more of a rhetorical question, since others in this thread have suggested all this amounts to is a name change? I dunno, this all just seems so... dumb.
Hollywood is such an effective propaganda machine, it's no surprise that any rising superpower would want its own movie industry.
You see how things change in perspective depending where you are in the world. Google cost would be nowhere near a coffee per month. If I consider my family, the 4 of us, the cost would be equivalent to going 1 extra week per month to the supermarket. Per year terms? It would be like saving the money to spend a weekend at the beach at a nice hotel once a year. I want that money for me!

Edit: I'm in Brazil BTW.
Poughkeepsie itself may not be a great place, but the surrounding area is beautiful.
I commend the optimism it took to attempt to create a database using pure python.
> The problem is usually complexity and opportunity cost.

Apple is still supporting phones made in 2016. Given Google size and profit margin, it is a business choice.

No they don't. They could live in a median dwelling with a median income indefinitely on the interest of what they've saved over the past few years.

If you're saying that they have to work for the living that they're accustomed to, so does Musk.
