I will cancel my Netflix subscription immediately after seeing first commercial. I can tolerate ads on prime because I get prime video as a bundle and because they only advertise their own content but Netflix is a different story. Selling ads is slippery slop, it ruins core product. Just look at TV programming or latest google search results

First, I apologize for the confusion, I+D wasn't translated to English: R&D.

What you wrote about perfume and juice are not unit "cost", but "price".

Maybe "cost" has a precise definition in Economics that I'm not aware of, but "price" is definitely not right in this context either. In my example, I can't see how the bottle and the box are not costs.

For me (maybe not correct, but that's what I meant anyway) "cost" is any expense that you incur to put the product in the hands of the final buyer. And cost per unit is total expenses divided by number of units. Feel free to use other words instead of "cost" and "cost per unit" that fit in these definitions.

Let me clarify the original question so it makes more sense. Thirty years ago computers had a single processor. Then they started to make multiprocessor and multicore CPUs. Now it seems that miniaturization is reaching its hard limits so they're wondering how to increase computing power.

One of the logical solutions is to put more processors in the same computer, not in the same chip or waffle (so defect rate is irrelevant here), but more like a "cluster in a box". I guess that would bring a number of problems like heat, but this kind of power doesn't seem the kind you want in your pocket.

So my question was: would this make economic sense? If "cost per unit" is rigid, it wouldn't. If it's driven by market or R&D, it might make sense.
UK policitian expenses 2020-2021
My wife works as a school administrator, and has been spending the last few nights with her laptop updating the free school meals end dates for all the eligible kids, one by one via the web UI, because there is no automated option to do it in bulk.

This type of situation can be multiplied a millionfold across organisations and businesses, and I honestly don't know what the general solution is. Creators of software can't anticipate every need, and similarly you can't exactly publish a data model and give users a SQL prompt and expect that to end well. The best we can do is shrink the gap between developers and users so that the very low-hanging obvious fruit is implemented at least.

Now TV, a popular UK-specific OTT TV provider, has recently introduced ads. They're really annoying but of course you can opt out as part of their £5 a month premium surcharge (also slightly upgrades your picture resolution and adds surround sound). It's basically just a way of creaming off some extra cash from your more affluent subscribers while keeping the low price of entry. Very similar to airlines and train companies upselling "premium economy" seats which are basically the same as plain old economy about ten years ago.
> The only reason this is on the table is because they critised the current government.

The govt offloaded their stake in Natwest a week ago to raise over £1bn, I think they're just liquidating some assets.

UKAEA validated the fusion. Fusion produced just 50 neutrons (microscopic fusion).

I bought two identical 3x 4k docks from Startech, and used them for M1 and M1 Max macbooks. One of them developed a very loud coil whine. No other problems, but it was too loud to be used alongside a dead silent laptop. The other is fine.

Docks are always a hit or miss thing. I had Dell docks before, also ~350 eur or so, and they consistently failed to wake up the external screens on resume from sleep. Same screens worked just fine on the Startech.

I always say that my most important piece of work was learning about “tel:”.

Someone had build this a operational report that listed people to contact—hundreds of them. Users would copy-paste the person ID and search for their phone number in another internal database. Then they would type that number. One of them had this hack where they typed it into a software phone that made the bulky physical phone attached ring. All that felt suboptimal to me.

That other database had standard URL structure so I knew that I could turn the id into a link by appending `https:\\admin.company.com\users?id=` That way, they could click and be in the right page without searching. But the reporting system had relevant personal information, so I could instead add a SQL JOIN and include the phone number right there. So I did, and I was showered with praises.

That’s when I thought: why not also have a link? There is this rarely used protocol `tel:`, the phone equivalent of `html:`. It never really made sense, until your phone turned into a computer… I had seen work a while ago. Lo-and-behold! It worked!

So I turned two painstainking ten-digit copying and look-ups into a single-click. I think that hack doubled that team’s productivity.

As I see it, the prosecutor built the case to make a clear distinction between a claimed honest mistake (the wrong drug was delivered), and willful negligence (several safety measures were ignored and the patient wasn’t monitored properly).

If nurses are actually quitting, then there are similarities to be drawn between this, and police officers quitting over adverse police brutality case verdicts. Society as a whole should reject those who would only do their jobs, as long as they are excused from the consequences of their actions.

Game development methodology has fascinated me recently. With the Battlefield 2042 debacle, its interesting to compare it to what I know (financial trading platforms).

With trading platforms, they last for years, decades maybe. They're created with some ideas around how to manage performance and to support evolving requirements. Developers know this thing is going to be around for a long time, so its treated as such. Years down the line, you start creating a new platform and look to do a long migration to keep clients happy because you can't just turn off their favourite functionality.

Modern AAA FPS games seem to be the complete opposite. Reinvent significant amounts every release. Dump the old game as the new one is released. Much seems to be from scratch. The BF2042 scoreboard issue seems like it should be almost off the shelf. There also seems to be this big shift towards short release cycles which pushes even more churn and reinventing the wheel. Look and feel must be updated to keep things "fresh". Although most of the popular games on Steam[1] are older games that have been around for years.

So many places to shave a yak, I'm surprised games get shipped at all.

Of course take all of this comment as an outsider who just yearns for the old days of cool mods and custom servers.

I'm not English native speaker, but I'm quite sure this sentence doesn't mean what you think it means.

I'll quote it again

> In earlier versions, images are displayed in separate windows, until NeXTSTEP's Text class gained support for Image objects

BTW, yes, everything you see in a browser's webview is "downloaded", even today

Inline or not, the web wasn't text only from inception (it was designed to support different media types according to the mime type mappings of the system, it's not a coincidence).

Lee called it hypermedia browser, not hypertext.

> years later it was able to display inline images

by years later I think you mean by 1990

This [1] is from the NEXTSTEP Reference Volume 2 (published in 1990)

> I've noticed this in many hobby professions - eg. hobby woodworkers spending more time on creating workbenches/tools/jigs/sleds than actually building some projects

As a hobby woodworker, I was saved from this by circumstances: I couldn't build a workbench in the old shed, I couldn't build a new shed at the time, but I needed a new nighstand ASAP because my son needed a larger bed, so I had to make it on an old kitchen table in the old shed.
In essence I agree that the big engines very seldom get in the way and should be good enough for almost any project.

However, I will say that I've constantly (during 10+ years of working full time with various game engines) come across cases where I need to extend or modify the engines I work with to either fix bugs or add missing features.

To take a fairly recent Unity example I worked on a game using the Universal Render Pipeline (URP) and found myself having to implement some things I just couldn't understand were missing. For instance, URP supports a depth prepass for opaque objects but still uses an empty depth buffer on opaque rendering instead of utilising the one generated during the prepass.

Just binding the already generated one instead allows you to get a lot of free depth culling and in my mind is one of the main reason to use a depth pass. But in URP it was apparently used exclusively to feed depth information to shaders.
I have heard non tech people starting to complain about both Google and Amazon significantly more.
I've long since "given up" organizing my files.

I was a long time user of one or more NAS boxes (first was a Synology DS101g+), and ran everything self hosted up until 3-5 years ago.

These days i just throw everything in the cloud, using Cryptomator[1] for privacy where applicapable, and everything else lives on a Mac Mini at home with a couple of USB drives attached, whose main purpose is backing up the cloud data. It also acts as a local server for media files, but i don't "hoard" as many files to confuse Plex enough that it can't figure it out.

For photos, i use whatever format Apple Photos use. I keep 300k photos in there, and it serves it up happily, and allows me to search fast enough by dates/locations and to some extent content.

While i'm "too old" to buy into Spotify/Apple Music/Whatever, and still purchase all music i listen to, i do buy it from iTunes, and i let iTunes handle the organization. I simply backup the data (only music, as movies have DRM, so no point in backing it up)

For mail/calendar i also just use the standard MacOS/iOS mail client.

All of the above "works". It gives me a searchable interface to whatever i want to find, without me having to bother too much about how it's stored. Of course i organize files in folders/directories by content/purpose, but beyond that i don't do much sorting.

The only place where i still struggle to find a good workflow is for note taking. While i don't write many notes, i do take notes every day, but working from multiple locations, with different computers, and not being able to use the same cloud solutions across home and work networks, i find it difficult to find a "one true source" approach to digital note taking.

I'm currently using a RocketBook[2] for notetaking, which is essentially an erasable/reusable notebook that supports easily scanning and archiving the page thanks to a unique QR code on every page, along with a "checkbox" that specifies where the note should be filed (email, OneNote, EverNote, etc). It also does OCR, and supports sending my sometimes illegible handwriting as a PDF along with the OCR attempt.

His other writings on the topic are very explicit about setting deadlines on every project and goal. Though, I don’t fully agree with the GP. Thiago also advocates freely changing deadlines as desired, so the deadlines become more a scheduling and prioritization helper than a typical deadlines.
It's hard to understand what this is aimed at. The original article is rather sweet, and you're replying to a comment that's saying that "crackpots" are mostly just normal people who've misunderstood something. I don't see any belittling going on here
This is unlikely to work. Why? Whenever you impose a stringent system of categorization on top of information that eludes easy categorization, you will likely fail. “I’ll handle the edge cases” — that’s not an easy task. The edge cases add up, until all you are left with is edge handling. This reminds me of someone who lives in a theoretical, platonic plane without consideration for real world problems.

A system that has a higher success of working is developed organically, from the bottom up. I’d say Zettelkasten is one such example, though its primary beneficiaries are researchers in text-heavy fields (e.g. sociology).
I see I.Q. in this thread and think that is a red herring.

It's deeper than that: there are a large percentage of people that do not want to code. It would be as artless and soulless to them as perhaps we think pounding nails into boards all day would be. But to plenty of people "an honest day's work" consists of doing with your muscles, your labor — having accomplished something "physical" at the end of the day.
As a driver, never having to take my hands off the wheel is preferred to physical knobs. And if I never have to take my hands off the wheel, what does it matter if the other controls are physical or not?

It is normal to often only have one hand on the wheel. Much of Europe loves manual transmissions, and I do too, and it is perfectly, and completely safe.

What isn't safe is to be looking away from the road ahead of you. At 80mph, common freeways speeds, it's insane to do so.

No current automated controls fix the heat/AC needing to be adjusted, specifically defrosting the windows. Automated wipers suck, and often get it wrong. Mud splashes, must be washed away. Back window fogs, must be addressed. Temps need to be changed, drive modes modified, fog lights turned on, hazard lights engaged to alert traffic around you, on and on and on.

All these things can be manipulated with the same hand I use to switch gears, and one hand driving is perfectly safe...

I don't care if you never do these things. Most people I speak to, do, and when switching to some cars with screens, end up with constant eyes off road.

Throwing automation around is silly. Anyone trying any type of automation experiences edge cases, and often, are simply fighting it.

Lastly, based upon the horrid state of current UI design, the last place I want that is in a car.
Depending on where you live ripping user hostile restricted optical disks is illegal, even the possession of tools that can free you from the digital restrictions may be illegal, making you dependent on your bluray player supporting the disk you bought and leaving you behind should you want to watch the content anywhere besides your living room. In addition, there are now lots of movies and series that are only available if you agree to some streaming service's TOS without the option to own anything at all.
Context: a huge amount of Belarusian resistance, journalism & political opposition is done by people who have fled. Here’s a journalist who will be impacted: https://twitter.com/hannaliubakova/status/151128535502620672.... This move is surely well-intentioned but goes too far and will make it harder for the opposition to conduct its business overseas.

An equivalent would be a hotel refusing service to a government in exile, because of what the occupying power is doing in the homeland. There is indeed a government in exile for Belarus. I call on anyone who works for AirBnB to raise this with corporate management.
Censored is not technically the right word, though. You don't directly get thrown in jail for discussing union stuff.
1/8th of what exactly? Is it an ounce? A pound?

I'm guessing an ounce.

What's funny for me is that in NZ, retail cannabis dealers typically work in units that start with monetary terms but then progress into imperial weight units.

So you can buy a foil/tinny ($20 - 25 worth), or a fifty bag ($50...), but after that you tend to start talking in terms of ounces - yeah mate, I'm after half an O, a couple of Os, etc.

And when you're you're buying from growers or wholesalers as a retail drug dealer, then you tend to work in pounds.

But then anyone measuring out a foil/fifty bag/half an O/an O/a pound will do so in grams. A foil is usually 0.9 - 1.2g, a fifty is 3 - 4g, half an O is well, half an ounce in grams (around 14g). Etc.

Meanwhile, methamphetamine has always been sold in metric, with the smallest unit available being a "point bag", 0.1g.

I always wonder if it's because cannabis culture in NZ predates the switch from imperial to metric that started in 1969 and finished up in 1976, whereas meth was very much a child of the definitely metric 90s.
I'm an academic working at the edge between biological neural networks in neuroscience, and artificial neural networks in machine learning. It is true that NNs don't model the brain, but it is not true that they have nothing to do with it. There is a whole fascinating field that compares the two and discusses their commonalities and differences.

But above all, "pseudoscience" is something different and is certainly not the right word to describe this issue of terminology.
I'm depressive and have social anxiety and I still found that forcing myself to attend these social situations instead of bailing and staying home for "self-care" almost always improved my mood and made me feel happy that I went at the end. If you have a more serious medical condition that makes you physically unable to go anywhere that's another matter, but I'm guessing lots of people (just as I did) use less serious mood disorders as excuses to, as the OP put it, be a baby.
How does the computer answer "Do you like what i'm wearing today?" ?

Well, if we say the computer is, in fact, not participating in the world with us -- it is merely predicting "the next word", then it cannot.

I am not asking for any answer to this question. I want to know what it (like a friend) actually thinks about what i'm wearing.

To do this, it would need to be a competent language user; not a word annoucer. It would, in otherwords, need to know what the language was about -- and need to be able to make a judgement of taste based on its prior experiences, etc.

I dont think our ability to misattribute a capacity of languge to things (eg., to bugs bunny) is salient -- we are fools, easily fooled. Bugs bunny doesnt exist.

In this case, the star trek computer, insofar as it actually answers the questions its asked -- is routinely depicted as being actually present in the world with us. That the show might claim "no it isnt!", or we otherwise hold this premise whilst observing that it is, is just foolishness. Bugs bunny likewise, is depicted with the premise that bugs is within his own world; this likewise, is irrelevant.

I have been increasingly disgruntled by netflix lately.

- The app on my laptop will stop working when I move it to my big screen over miracast.

- The content here(UK) seems very limited, I feel I have watched everything watchable.

- The video quality in the browser is shit.

- It feels like the UI is fighting against me when I am trying to find content to watch (this might be because there is not a lot of content).

If they add ads I will just drop them on the spot.

This is becoming a more common trend - you no longer have to be a techie to "hack" - people skills are the up-and-coming essential tool.
I can't say I use the PARA system totally, but I do use the naming structure. I have a projects and archives folder in my personal google drive, and in Roam, and in my work google drive and I make sure follow a naming convention for all of them, so that I generally know where to find things.

The Reference vs Areas I've never really understood though. So that part works less well for me.

I've found it to be pretty helpful, though I don't use it for code. That simplification is worth the price of admission for me.
