Google's operating income is like $50B. A more proportionate question would be whether I was willing to pay $10 for a reusable shopping bag since it's marginally better for the environment compared to a free plastic bag—and the answer is yes, absolutely, it wouldn't even be a question.

This is a good thing - it stops you from using one Ord instance when putting As into a Map or Set, and then trying to pull them back out using another. Newtypes let you provide "additional" instances in a safe way.

There are indications that lead acetate (which is only mildly sweet) was occasionally used as a drier in oil-based paints a long time ago. But I've seen no good evidence regarding how common this may have been.

But even if that's true, lead acetate would have been used only in tiny quantities (like any other metallic drier). And lead acetate degrades rapidly, so there wouldn't be any lead acetate left in the paint after a short time anyway.

this sounds like a bug class some type of source code scanner should be able to pick up?
Google isn't holding a gun to anyone's head or intentionally bricking devices, but if you use your phone for work (or it's a work-issued phone) and your employer requires you update to the latest security patches (enforced via MDM), the Pixel 3 is now useless.

And you're probably thinking "oh but this is an old device, just get a newer one for work." True, but consider that Pixel 6/6 Pro users got screwed over when the December update was yanked [0] and the January update got delayed for them [1] - while it was good for most users not to take the buggy update, anyone whose device had those security requirements ended up getting work-related functionality disabled.

Of course, the companies that set these policies are generally ones who will not make exceptions, so even though you had the latest and greatest from Google, you couldn't use it for work for several weeks until they finally pushed out the January security update.

"People who have MDM-enforced security requirements" might not be a large part of the smartphone market these days, but every little bit counts when it comes to reducing the volume of e-waste that usually ends up being dumped in third-world countries.

Indeed. My employer had hot desking for a while during lockdown for people who chose to voluntarily come into the office so they could space people out. I tried it solo, I tried it booking a pod as a small team of 4-8, and I hated it. If they tried to make it permanent (they're not, they've moved back to assigned desks), I would quit in a heartbeat.

Working in a random area from a laptop is an ergonomic nightmare. I want a specific keyboard, specific mouse, and specific monitors. I don't want a tiny laptop screen plugged into a dock with the same generic Dell equipment that comes with every machine, and I don't want to have to lug in my own equipment every single time I come to the office.

It's also nice to have a spot that's "mine" for the most minimal of personal touches - I can leave my headphones there, I can have post it notes on the monitor reminding me of things, I could even have a picture if I wanted.

The end of poverty began in the US around 1800, when the specter of famine was finally eliminated. Throughout the 19th century, Americans grew in height and life expectancy, resulting in America's poor being the richest poor people in the world.

Today, America's poor have a better quality of life than medieval kings.

OTOH, they also influenced it in many good ways that you don't hear about.

E.g., my astronomy professor mentioned to me in a conversation that the original design for the Hubble was smaller due to expected budget, but that it got up-sized because it turned out that they could piggy-back off of other relevant military development, and iirc, that went beyond just the larger available size of the shuttle bay.

> 70% is not a thing AFAIK

Maybe this is what has thrown my research in shambles. I thought 70% was basically a laptop like layout (basically normal keyboard + arrow keys cramped under the right shift key and maybe a few extra keys). Maybe I'm mistaken.

In terms of I've been thinking up to £150 or the equivalent. Split keyboard optional, though, I've never really used one, so maybe it's worth it if it falls within the budget for ergonomics.

lament, n: a passionate expression of grief or sorrow

VT102 keyboards were ok, and space cadet keyboards were fun, but if anyone had been nutty enough to suggest that four bleeping decades later, almost a half century, we'd be focusing on making keys click nicely... I might have pointed out that four decades earlier computers had been hydraulic, that graphical user interfaces looked to become awesome, and asked what disaster they envisioned occurring to so cripple humanity's progress on interface tech.

In the before (covid) time, I had extra cameras on my thinkpad, to half-heartedly play with 3D hand tracking, and "which finger pressed the key" events, and "just where on the keycap was the finger", and keyboard as touchpad, and cep complex event processing with rollback to address input tech with diverse latencies, and keyboard-on-screen shallow-3D overlay for heads-up keyboard overlays, and ...

Sigh. Having a keyboard you love can be visceral tactile joy, something which repeatedly uplifts your spirit throughout the day. So yay on working towards more people having that experience. But sometimes the discussion has for me the vibe of a snowmobile forum with people discussing nice ways to spend half and hour in the morning chasing down sled reindeer.
Your $100 smartphone is often insecure when you purchase it, and often gets no security updates.

I have bought Nokia for the last few years because they were cheap, reliable, had zero crapware, and got updates quickly. The Android One program (no vendor crapware) seems to be winding down, and I value security more highly now, so next phone will be an iPhone. Currently I use an iPad for anything where security matters to me (I haven’t trusted Windows for a decade, and Linux relies on too few eyeballs).
No, nothing RAM hungry. Only extensions are adblockers. And it's an iPhone 8, which, yes, I know, is from the Dark Ages where no one could ever expect any amount of data to be stored ever, but this has happened with every iPhone I've had back to 2012, including ones that were bought close to release.
Yeah I would agree, there is ton of work that has to go into getting as much performance from the SoC given all the design constraints and designing your own cores would probably not help to remove enough of the problems you would need to solve to be worth while especially if you need to hit a very wide range of products and use cases.

Apple is in a unique position they both have a world class leading design team and they have complete control over the entire product so they have far more levers to tweak and they don’t need to compete with anyone but themselves.

And you can see that with how the went about with their SoC design. For the most part they had a single design with a few power envelopes for cheaper / less powerful products their solution was always to use SoCs from previous years.

Even for special cases like the Apple Watch etc they tended to repurpose cores from their existing designs. The S series SoC is essentially one or two efficiency cores from their A series further clocked down and sometimes on a more power efficient node to squeeze a bit more battery life out of them.

But beyond that until the M series it was pretty much always you get a new A series SoC for the new iPhone/iPad with the only major difference being the power envelope and everything else would use an SoC form 1-3 years earlier.

If Qualcomm could’ve play this game they might have still be using custom cores too.
I may be reading your point incorrectly, but you mention no reason FOR a change, except change. I think that is fine on your own property, but wasteful when it comes to property that is public or common. If the change has an associated cost, on public or common property, change is usually passed to those public or common owners, often when they don't want it.

Bureaucrats famously build things just to associate themselves with "getting things done".

Interesting. One of the two triggers to investigate iOS in my household (the other was deprecating Hangouts) was noticing that pihole was showing about a third of the DNS requests were blocked, and those were overwhelmingly from mobile devices.

Moving to iOS dropped that to 3%. This is a few years ago, so I'm sure that the adware companies have got harder-to-block mechanisms for their surveillance capitalism. But certainly at that point, it was a very significant difference.

Apple's requirement to be clear about how customer data is being used by third parties has only reinforced the value of that change for me.

Postmortem on DIY Recombinant Covid Vaccine
> The Swiss data seems pretty conclusive in favor of my point, as it includes the omicron wave.

1. You can't use the entire range back to Jan 2021 to calculate current vaccine effectiveness and 2. if you use data from Nov 2021 (Omicron start), the Swiss data presents non-linearity that suggests small sample size/incomplete data.

> Also, see the recent nyc hospitalization data, which includes the entire omicron wave (now fading): https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-breakthrough-data. Note, this raw data understates vaccine efficacy as a relatively high proportion of vaccinated individuals are vaccinate with rather than for COVID.

It understates vaccine efficacy or overemphasizes omicron severity. At this point, we have enough data from regions with varying vaccination rates to conclude that it's the latter.

> Not sure why the age bracket point is relevant unless you think the vaccines have different relative efficacy within different age brackets for omicron - that was not the case for prior variants.

I selected age brackets for time ranges during Omicron wave and the spikes suggest small sample sizes. Small sample sizes can't be used to draw any conclusions from re: vaccine effectiveness.

It really is not a disputed claim that 2 shots do not provide much protection over the baseline for Omicron. Hence this post submission with Pfizer launching an Omicron-specific shot...

No, it's not. I could write a book with all the extreme situations of abuse I've witnessed first-hand while in academia.

None of that would fly in a private company, simply because there is at least, like it or not, a premise of making the company profitable that still somehow favors merit over other things. You don't have that in academia, there are many instances in there where there is literally NO incentive to act in good faith.

Look at what happened at Uber, for instance, it took a while but the CEO got ousted and they took a hit on their public image. There are many (MANY) instances of sexual abuse and coercion that have been going on for DECADES at some of the world's most recognized institutions, and nothing happens. Some people are just untouchable in their little academic universes.

Do not speak about something you don't know in depth. The image that the regular folk has romanticized about science is false and needs to disappear, because it only favors those who are abusing the system to their benefit.
While I agree with you I think the actual article argues otherwise. It links to the same link as you.
You are correct, it's possible to further expand that definition of legitimacy, to include de-facto legitimacy (I am the guy in charge, I might be in charge because I rule through fear and force, but since I am the guy in charge, I am legitimate.)

My point is that it doesn't make much sense to contract the definition of legitimacy. At a minimum, if a government has the consent of the governed, it is legitimate.

If it does not, well, we can split hairs about whether or not being a warlord, a king, or some other kind of despot counts.

> Virtually all of this reduction in extreme poverty occurred in China, which makes the notion that this was a triumph of capitalism / neoliberalism kind of silly.

How so? Under communism, China ran itself deeply into the ground and tens of millions of people starved to death.

Economic reform changed that, in a straightforward triumph of capitalism.

When one of the major stimuli to the period of economic reform is the discovery that a little village notable for not starving to death is doing it by virtue of illegal enclosure of what was supposed to be public land, supported by a blood oath of secrecy because private landownership is so illegal... you think the takeaway is that China's modern success comes from their communist economic regime?
"Looping in others" is an opportunity for others to say NO, or to try and redirect you, or to jump (unwanted and unneeded) onto your band wagon. If I'm working with true peers (not age or title peers, but truly similar in talent and ability), then their early involvement or collaboration is great.

Generally, however, I prefer to get solutions developed to the point where they are their own proof. It's much harder to argue against something that's (near or entirely) completed and which proves to work. It's fine for me to then involve others to get their feedback, etc.
This is something I'm actually, genuinely really interested in. In fact, just the other day I was thinking about whether you could use GNNs to accomplish something like this -- so I was understandably pretty hyped to see this post on HN.

I've been struggling to find the right terms to Google to find out more about the field, but it looks like "hypernetwork" was what I was looking forward. I highly, highly doubt that the first AGI is going to be designed by hand by humans -- I'd be willing to bet money that the first AGI is going to be recursively designed by multiple layers of constructor AIs just like what you're proposing.

Incredibly exciting idea IMO, and I'm confused why there doesn't appear to be more interest in it.
>It’s way past time for banks to start taking responsibility for issuing fraudulent loans.

That sounds nice and all, but what would that actually look like in terms of legislation? Legally speaking you're already not responsible for fraudulent loans, and the onus is on the creditor to prove that the debt was actually yours.
This is a hard pill for society to swallow. On the poor end people legitimately feel like they are not well off because they have so much less than many others. On the high end, rich people don't like the idea that 200 years from now they will be seen as relatively poor.
This does not seem to contribute much to an article that is not about the "modern obsession" with kale and that indicates, if anything, that kale is not a mere modern contrivance (though perhaps its use as a human food has become rather faddish—a fad which it is fortunately easy to avoid simply by not partaking).
