Well I am not find of his method, especially about doing a classification of people you would call friends. This is something I would hate to do and would hate feeling others put me in a drawer.

On the other hand while local friends can be easy to reach, invite
or bump into randomly maintaining long distance friendship is a lot harder to do and require actively looking for that relation to not die. It is ok not to talk to friends every month when they are living far away nor does it diminish your feeling towards them and the pleasure you would have to meet them even if it takes 10y to do so. However if you are not actively maintaining a relation, and that requires some additionnal efforts as it is not natural to reach for people you aren't bumping into every other week/month, you might simply lose trail. It is relatively easy to reach to someone who has social media accounts under his own name and never changed phone number. It requires a lot more of detective work to reach out to people who aren't active on social medias. I have lived in several countries and I had to resort to use linkedin to get back in touch with some of my friends and it can took months for them to reply as most people don't even log on linkedin on a regular basis unless they are actually looking for a job. Some of them I lost complete trail as I couldn't find any social media account either.

So automatising your own reminders and force yourself to talk to people you might not reach out on a regular basis, because your local social circle already keeps you busy a lot, is not necessarily a bad thing, even if it feels forced.
Am I the only person who uses bookmarks for notes? I will type something like "bizidea - hydroponic urban farming" in the omnibox, save it to bookmarks, and if I want to search bizideas, it's always there. There's also a tumblr I post clips or longer notes to that is also searchable. Any extra step, like opening an app, is a deal-breaker.
Then I still have to carry 2 devices though. I am not very interested at gaming at this moment.
>> In 2020, the median age of IBM's US workforce was 48, the same as it was ten years prior, he added.

That is older than median. I can understand the position of executives who are worried.
PostmarketOS gets you pretty close to this: boot alpine Linux, with more or less everything working. Even if the screen and/or GPU acceleration do not work on that phone, that would be plenty to replace a Raspberrypi.

I've been thinking about this quite seriously, and for now I see a few pain points:

- Some phones (looking at my daily driver, a Galaxy S4) do seem to allow disconnecting the battery from the charging circuit, which could lead to issues in the long run

- Ideally, you'd want to connect a USB hub over USB OTG (wired Ethernet, USB storage, real keyboard). I have yet to try charging the phone at the same time, although I think some cables enable this.
> But, of course, I'm overlooking something here. Because if you take the same portrait at 50mm and with, say, 20mm, it's not just the focal length of the camera that differs. What also differs is the position of each camera. The 50mm camera will be positioned further away from the subject, whereas the 20mm camera has to be positioned much closer to achieve the same "shot".

Yep, totally.

> Perhaps it helps that the vehicle moves? That is, after all, very close to having the same scene photographed by cameras positioned at different distances.

I think you're right, they must be taking advantage of this to get the kind of results they are getting. That point cloud footage is impressive, it's hard to imagine getting that kind of detail and accuracy just from individual 2d stills.

Maybe this also gives some insight into the situations where the system seems to struggle. When moving forward in a straight line, objects in the peripheral will shift noticeably in relative size, position and orientation within the frame, whereas objects directly in front will only change in size, not position or orientation. You can see this effect just by moving your head back and forth.

So it might be that the net has less information to go on when considering objects stationary directly in or slightly adjacent to the vehicles path -- which seems to be one of the scenarios where it makes mistakes in the real world, e.g. with stationary emergency vehicles. I'm just speculating here though.

> Also, among the front-facing cameras, the two outermost are at least a few centimeters apart. I haven't measured it, but it looks like a distance not unlike between a human's eyes [0]. Maybe that's already enough?

Maybe. The distance between the cameras is pretty small from memory, less than in human eyes I would say. It would also only work over a smaller section of the forward view due to the difference in focal length between the cams. I can't help but think that if they really wanted to take advantage of binocular vision, they would have used more optimal hardware. So I guess that implies that the engineers are confident that what they have should be sufficient, one way or another.

Even cheap commercial phones are far more powerful though. I have a pinephone because I want a linux native phone, but it's not really useable still as a phone; it works ok as a very low powered Linux system though.
It survives in a niche. It seems to have about 30k players online max per https://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility

It's not nothing, in fact it's quite an achievement to have survived so long as a PVP MMO, but it's never going to take over the world. People who want that very particular blend of nothing happening interspersed by moments of sheer terror and the risk of losing something you've sunk a lot of time/money into know where it is.
Requiring attribution is not the problem, but restricting commercial use makes this not an open source license.
Hieroglyphs were mostly used for religious/formal writing.

Everyday writing in Ancient Egypt used the Heiratic script, which then evolved into the Demotic script, and then finally the Coptic script, which is the Egyptian language written with Greek letters (plus 6 extra letters for sounds the Greek alphabet doesn't cover).

The Coptic language is no longer the official spoken language in Egypt (replaced by Arabic), but it's still used today liturgically in the Coptic Orthodox Church. Sort of like how Latin is still used in the Catholic church.

What's particularly interesting is that the Greek alphabet was based on the Phoenician alphabet, which was in turn derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs. Full circle!
Ah, good. The Americanisms did my nut in. 5 thumbs up.
Similar here. There are a number of people that regularly pop into my head and I'll wonder how they're doing or miss talking to them that I still rarely contact because it takes a lot of energy and I need to be in the right mindset for it even though I enjoy the contact when it happens. If I think about them at a time I don't feel up to being social (often), I end up pushing it aside.

Interesting! It looks like you are indirectly articulating something about your personal value system and how you express and/or receive caring. Are you familiar with the Five Love Languages [0] idea? The bosic concept (and book) are tailored for couples and couples counseling, but it generalizes in obvious ways to platonic relationships.

Essentially, it posits that everyone expresses caring and seeks expressions of caring in specific ways, so called "languages". It's entirely possible---probable in fact!---that the ways in which you personally express caring don't match up with the kinds of expressions that make your friend (or lover) feel most cared for.

YMMV, but I've personally found this idea to difuse a lot of "judgemental" feelings towards others, especially in close relationships.

"The catch was that when he went to stake his NFT, they asked for an approval for spending aETH from his wallet. Approvals such as this are normal when interacting with smart contracts, since the contract has to be "delegated" responsibility over the tokens in order to move them." - this is a bit surprising - I thought the way to let a contract move tokens was just to send them to it? Approving a contract to move everything from a wallet works like sending everything from the wallet to the contract - it omits the step where you choose the amount that you trust the contract with, why is this the 'normal' way?
Yeah, I can see that. It could be all part of the plan
What's the point of networking. I used to not care for decades, now I wish I'd spent more time and effort on it.
I think what you are looking for is retool plus a nice SQL client. Its really flexible and takes away a lot of pain from the front end. I wish it had an integrated DB editor.
As I understand this, it shouldn't be primarily for close friends, but for other people. For example, some journalist wrote a very interesting article, so I sent him an email, he answered, maybe we exchanged one more email, and that was it. Now with this system I would get a reminder 6 months later to reach him again. Why not? It can develop into online friendship or something good can happen out of it. If I don't do it, just nothing happens with that person anymore. And if I tell myself that I don't need to contact this journalist anymore, then ok, I will not put him into the system.
Still, I would be curious to learn how many people he has in his system.
I gave up on Web long time ago, too much shallow garbage. Books are much better.

I'd expect the person selling me a product to be able to tell me what I need to use the product. Like if I was buying a car that runs off LPG or something, I'd expect the salesperson to be able to tell me where I can buy that fuel and roughly how much it costs, even if the car company doesn't actually sell it themselves.
The article is taking the first-order approximation of the doubling equation for discrete compounding interest, and as it turns out this value does not change no matter the compounding frequency.

For different compounding frequencies, the validity of the approximation is governed by how close r/p is to 0. As p goes to infinity, the approximation becomes arbitrarily good, converging to the continuous case.
I think it's fair to say that for those failed products/companies, the reason for them failing is a bit more nuanced than "because the core service already exists elsewhere". Competition always exists so you're almost never the sole provider of a particular type of service. If you fail, you were likely out-competed, even if it's in a non-core area like marketing or popularity.
Productivity for the sake of productivity leads to its own obsolescence.
The speedometer shows IAS which is way more informative of what's happening to the aircraft than GS or TAS. IAS measures "the amount of air that hits the wings".

As to altitude there isn't a single always applicable definition of "altitude" hence pilots have to adjust it based on their current task, there simply isn't a way around that. You could try to always use "true altitude" in WGS-84 or something, but that's far more complex than a simple pressure altimeter. For example it generally cannot be done without external inputs, such as very accurate pressure maps or gps-like navigation aids. More complex = more failure opportunity.
but... it does explain some of the most ubiquitous and fundamental problems of markets, like spreads and illiquidity? granted you could go on forever about an infite list of problems, eg that today so much trading happens in dark pools, so much stocks are owned by passive index etf managers who don't take an active role in ownership etc etc but for a rough summary I think this article explained some of the basics quite well

My theory is that crypto breaks the hacker ethos. Crypto is about money, including all of the dark and unsavoury parts of it. The largest decriers I have seen are usually technologists. The average punter doesn't really seem to care that much.
> But you can just use https://old.reddit.com or https://i.reddit.com instead!

That's the trap. While reddit is still pushing awful UX practices (e.g., subreddits accessible only via app), we keep visiting it via the `old.` subdomain: net outcome -> we are keeping Reddit happy. Now imagine if we all stop visiting the `old.` subdomain... then we may have a voice, a chance to say "Reddit, stop doing stupid things or you are gonna end up with zero users".

> The other alternative would be for Meta to change its business processes to comply with the relevant orders from the European Court and the General Data Protection Regulation of not sharing EU citizen data with a US entity.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't one reason this thing is such a headache that, right now, there is no way for US companies to do this?

Because US companies are subject to the CLOUD act, they can be ordered to hand over user data to US agencies, whenever this data is under the company's control. It's irrelevant if the data center is located in Europe, the US or anywhere else, as long as the US company has control over it.

If Facebook could solve this issue by simply doing their behaviour targeting inside EU datacenters, I doubt they would write this down even as a risk, let alone as strange veiled threats.

That was just my understanding of the whole issue, which might be wrong though.

But this doesn't work for contacts I do not reach regularly... I just forget about them when I don't reach them at all for some longer time.
I'm wondering if there's a good summary of this somewhere. 784 pages seems a bit much to get to know the basics of networking.

Maybe it IS that complicated, but I'm wondering if it's worth it for me as a developer that only sometimes touches on these issues, to read through it.
I’m a bit surprised by the negative reactions here. I don’t think the post is saying “I use a tool to remind me to talk to my spouse/close/friends/family” so much as “having weak social connections is more useful for both sides than not having them at all and I have a tool to help me do the work of maintaining them”. Two things which I think are acceptable and similar are:

1. Contacts who mostly just exchange Christmas cards (but what a bad way of staying in touch! One year my dad decided he was sick of Christmas cards and he would just call his acquaintances and talk to them instead, which seemed a better way to do things)

2. Maintaining business relationships. E.g. maybe you meet someone from some other company at a conference and then email a bit and decide there isn’t some business you currently want to do with them (eg their product is unsuitable) but you may still want to keep in touch in case they offer something new or may remember you and mention your services to someone else or vice versa. I don’t think people would be so upset to hear that someone they worked with had some reminder system to help maintain such relationships.
Yep, that would be fun, and could obsolete DNS for some use cases. Though having variable length addresses in headers would be a headache for a lot of things.

Yes, please. I'd love to separate Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. apps into separate domains. As I'm doing with web apps via Firefox containers.
> before it had a chance to converge towards an optima.

The problem is that you consider the current state of one specific language as an optima.

> Any curves or embellishment to a glyph that does not add more information can and will be ignored and forgotten.

Well... you might not have been of the generation that did write a lot by hand. There's a whole lot amount of information you can embed into the way you write/draw your letters, even in the density/dryness variation of ink and the variation of size, inclination, padding, etc. 7-segment display are an accident between manual written text only and today's high density displays.

It's reductionist such as saying a zoom call is definitely an optima to replace physical meetings. While this is true, it highly depends on the nature and content of said meetings. The raw difference in bandwidth and quality of information is significantly huge.

> The selective pressure on a writing system is to converge on something similar to the 7 segment display.

And what if we had a different system that 7-segment display? (which we have, by the way, so better take advantage of that)

Experience? How old are you? In the normal case the very common belief to be vastly smarter than your parents should wane shortly after puberty.

The case of IBM the problem is probably completely different. You cannot rejuvenate a corporation by employing younger people. Didn't follow the link because I can imagine the ego.

Aging is certainly a degenerative process, but there are special cookies in every age group. Also, insecurity cannot be cured by looking at statistics. A common mistake.

The prepared notes are for people of interest and not someone considered a contact. The goal is not to extract something, but to maintain and expand.

Your source-available projects. Nothing wrong with licensing your work that way (in the sense that you can make that choice, not in the sense that I think its a good idea) but please don't muddle the term "open source".
Many people have mentioned Monica, which is what I use for this.

I live overseas from loved ones and old friends, meaning there are few natural cues to encourage communication. Without very regular chats my memory doesn't let me be as in context with the major things happening in their lives as I need to be to have meaningful conversations with them. Monica helps with both of these things.

Getting reminders only really helps if the interactions themselves are also rewarding when you do them. If, say, calling an elderly family member feels more like a chore, it's easy to end up skipping the reminders more than you'd like.

Last time I checked, the only meaningful feature of Windows 11 when compared to Windows 10 was advertised as the ability to run Android apps at some point in the future. Well, it looks like Microsoft got behind again.
Agreed. Sometimes life just gets in the way and if something isn't urgent or can be put off for a few days in order to handle the immediate and now it is easy to forgot what isn't right in front of you.

I'm sure most have the best of intentions that they will reach out to friends and keep in touch, but the best laid plans of mice and men...I don't see why having a system to do this so bad?
This is retool, retool sometimes gets marketed as 'nocode' but really benefits from past developer experience, I think you could build exactly what you want using it.
Its no surprise: the same people who profit immensely from the manufacture of bombs with an expiry date, own American media.
I think one of the things that "old school" people completely miss, is convenience. Your examples of Discord and Dropbox are two very good examples of that. They just work. They work on workstation and mobile devices alike. I totally get why people choose that.

I think the sad thing is that the free tools could be close to that and with careful open standard planning, it could even have for-profit companies participating. Email is one such example. Chat and screen sharing should have been another.
> What's the problem with eGPUs? The most problematic thing I see is that they only work with intel CPUs for now and that all enclosures are tb3.

Maybe they've gotten better, but the last time I looked at reviews they were generally flaky (driver issues or incompatibilities with particular games) and had performance issues, to the point that a lower-model built-in card would often outperform a higher-model in an external enclosure. I'm sure they're coming eventually, but I haven't heard of anyone having an actually polished experience with one in day-to-day use yet.

> Democracy is when foreign far right groups participate in and fund a domestic protest where people demand the resignation of elected officials, got it.

Well, yeah. Whether the protesters are misinformed or not is irrelevant, they are seeking to highlight their grievances.

You can't very well claim that people should only be able to highlight grievances that they personally, individually and without any external influence ... came up with themselves.

A grievance is still a grievance even if it was brought to the protestor's attention by a foreign power, by a local politician, by their neighbour or by the invisible green elves who live at the bottom of the protestor's garden.

1. You don't get to gatekeep that a grievance is valid only if it comes from the right[1].

2. You don't get to gatekeep that any and all grievances from the left[1] are automatically invalid.

3. You don't get to gatekeep that some things are legitimate grievances and others are not. If 1000 verified working-class people with jobs are literally peacefully protesting, maybe you shouldn't be feeling threatened?

[1] Switch the words 'left' and 'right' in this comment; the point is the same.
