> Americans used to consume considerably more animal protein, especially red meat.

This is not true.

Per capita meat consumption has increased over the last century, with red meat consumption peaking in the 1970s. It looks like total meat consumption has increased about 40% since the early 1900s.

Agreed. This was a hard one for me to accept, because being in tech, I am fully aware that iMessage is a software gimmick to lock people into the ecosystem. There is no reason, technically, that things have to be like this, and I dislike Apple strongly for this. But it works, because here I am on my iPhone.
It's not really relevant. There isn't a copyright in the performance itself, and if they had permission to start the performance, then the expiry of the copyright certainly doesn't prevent them from finishing.
We work on an open source tensor processing unit at https://tensil.ai. It is not RISC-V based since only a handful of very simple instructions is needed for expressing data flows typical in ML.
Better education hence better understanding of technology would ultimately stop this nonsense.
How could it not mean that?

Are you arguing with my 1% figure or the concept I was trying to relay?

The concept is correct IMO, the percentage is a guess.
In mid 2000s when my father bought us a PC, we opened paint, I impressed him by drawing my country's flag in paint (cuz I saw a teacher in school do it).

Then, it comes the moment to leave the paint program (gonna use the old terminology), and as you know it ask you if you wanna leave without saving: Yes, No, Cancel? and it does with a warning sign. My father and me were so sussed out with that warning sign, so we did not click yes, I didn't have much of an idea what the message was about because it was in a language I did not understand. I kept clicking no and cancel repeatedly.

The store where my father bought the PC told him to not turn the PC using the turn off button either, so we kept trying with that message without clicking yes. In the end we just unplugged it.

That was my first interaction with a PC, and it was a bit scary.
It’s crazy because among friends I’m the only one working with geodata (remote sensing, too) and the last few days I keep stumbling upon people who already do some work in the same area and are probably much more advanced than I am. Good luck with your endeavour!
A real concern right now is that the course material in both academic CS and academic SE is behind by 5-10 years in terms of tooling relevant for industry jobs. This has always been true, but the difference between circa 2010 and now is there is 10x more domain-specific knowledge needed to be useful in industry because of all the frameworks and tools we now use. CS grads who haven't spent years dabbling in web dev on the side are now essentially useless for their first 1+ years in industry as they learn all the tooling. Gone are the days where you spend the first month learning a few things and suddenly you're on par with most web devs.
The ability to form and make use of a well-corresponding and predictive model of one's experiential environment / situation (at whatever scope you like) in order to realize goals, or reach conclusions that could be shown to be 'true' in the environment.

One may speak of the practically realized ability, or alternately the capacity to develop the ability.
I seem to have the opposite experience. I've been using the same email address, never hiding it at all even on Usenet, for 25 years. I get >600 spams/day and ~20 non-spam, and at most 1 or 2 spams get through Gmail's filter.

I want to move to Fastmail, but every time I try it out, their spam filter lets through 50-75/day, which is unworkable.
That seems like bad jargon.
Oh I don't fault Twitter in particularly, just whoever decided on the title of that specific article (so I guess the AP people in this case). Like, if an article was titled "Science says you should stretch more!" but then in the article, they just cite a specific study, I would still be slightly annoyed by that.

It's just a nitpicky pet peeve that I think reveals some epic underlying truth about the cycle of human civilization (but probably doesn't)

> Ethereum uses uint256 for many things to avoid having to do floating point math.

Wow. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to Solidity, so it hadn't previously occured to me that it doesn't have floating point. It stretches the limits of the imagination to consider the insanity we'd be seeing if Ethereum did have floating point math.
I don’t think I’ve ever used android for more than about 30 seconds on someone else’s phone. I wasn’t aware there was a difference in the notification system. What makes android better?
It seems though in the latest iteration at least, the Pixel 6 is actually worse than the Samsung S22. And frankly I've often felt like Samsungs were the flagship Android phones, not Google's phones.
>Why are 200ppm sustainable?

The higher CO2 levels of long gone times where probably not even remotely a problem for those critters around, because evolution had plenty of time to do its thing. Your whole point of "but what about back then" is comparing apples with oranges.

Looking at the steep graph today, the increasing weather extremes and how brittle our supply chains are, i think its very appropriate to call it a climate catastrophe, we are heading for.

Btw. I was using the ideal of perfect recycling and applied it to CO2, no absolute or relative ppm value is relevant for this.

The AGC computed the position (including range) using inertial guidance and star sightings by the astronauts. So yes, it was a completely independent system, but the results should be the same.
Banks don’t lend money out. Never have, never will.

Banks are discount houses. They create their own money against financial assets they buy from you with that money.

They are factories, not warehouses.

Deposit interest rates aren’t going up because there’s nowhere else the money can go. Nobody wants be the retail to wholesale middleman at present.
Windows Phone was a shame, but completely Microsoft's fault. I liked the Windows Phone UI/UX, and the irony is that if they had've invested more into something like Xamarin, they could've likely had extremely compelling tooling for big enterprises (like banks) to support Apps on different platforms. But even Skype for Windows Phone took ages to actually land.

Or emulate Android apps, like you said. That solves the initial issue of having no apps. It seems like Google Fuchsia will likely take this approach. Although it isn't clear if another platform could do this, without a lot of goodwill from Google - and good luck with that.
They aren't - that's the point Marx makes in describing the idea of alienation from the fruits of one's labour. Because labour is commodified, the rate of pay does not relate to the value at the point of consumption - the difference between the price of the labour (eg labour value) and the price paid (exchange value) is profit, which is generally quite well known to be what the capitalists are in it for..!

To put it more clearly: if I create one unit of value a day, it follows that for a profit to be accrued, it is not possible for me to be paid one unit of value. I'll be paid less. This is why the labour share of national income is still very important to some on the left, and it is the natural flip side to the idea of value add.
I'd familiarize myself with overfitting (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/overfitting.asp). That's optimizing your portfolio to historical data so much so that it is no longer generalizable to the future.
The calculation works only if each customer has their own fiber.

Unfortunately for most (consumer) FTTH deployments, that's not the case. Most of them are GPON, where the initial deployment was more effective, as up to 64 of your customers share single fiber, but then that means all of them have to upgrade all 64 of them at the same time, you cannot do them one at the time (see also the speed of XG-PON upgrades).

Additionally, many providers forced use of their CPEs. If you can send out SFP module and the customers can put it into whatever they want, it is much simpler, as replacing CPEs for all the customers on that fiber.
What I find quite interesting amongst my colleagues is that they are deeply invested/locked into either the Google ecosystem or the Apple ecosystem. I know zero people who have recent experience of using both iOS and Android - they’re either in one camp or the other, and have only superficial knowledge of what it’s like to use the other. It feels like two parallel universes running side by side, just out of reach of each other.
"If Apple is so concerned about customer experience, they should stop making their products better." is an interesting take.
My iPhone 13 Pro Max has 120 hz, so that feature is available. I don't mind that it was Android only for a bit, very little on that platform can actually render a non-static UI at that rate.
Exactly. I was recently talking to a guy who had had his iPhone stolen. But it was no big deal - he had replacement insurance and the deductible was only $200. Which is more than I have ever paid for a phone in my life.
I'm very long time android user (since original galaxy s). Bought my first iPhone this year (13 pro max), and have 0 regrets. It just works. Great screen, great camera, I still use most of Google apps on it: maps, calendar, mail, assistant

I lost my drive to tinker with os/apps long time ago, so the fact that everything is quite friction less makes me happy.

On Android I constantly had issues with lastpass, dji asks you to download apk to fly drone etc.
I've had a suspicion, and it's only a suspicion, that since sometime around the pandemic there's been an effort to astroturf HN. There was such a dramatic shift in what content bubbled to the top - I recall that arguing and dissonance used to be down here, in the footer, but now it seems like not only are there way more political posts on the front page, they all seem to have the most vitriol at the top.

All the evidence I have for this is anecdotal. To put on the tinfoil hat, knowing that there are firms for hire dedicated to pushing agendas, and that they use tactics like astroturfing, and seeing the monumental shift of HN away from primarily tech-focused stuff all adds up to... something. It's likely that my choice of a potential bad actor is rooted in my own biases - but it's hard to ignore outright that what was once a fairly fertile ground for legitimate and reasonable debate / discussion, has been so beleaguered with whataboutism and conversational tactics that are obviously meant to stifle actual discourse.

To wit, something this plain and factual might be just the kind of thing that focuses a conversation and allows talk about the details in a way that a PR firm might want to avoid. if I were a social media manager with no morals I might point my handful of accounts at downvoting stuff like this. Can't think of any other reason to do it, really.

As the article below explains, it's a combination of structured qualitative analysis and a review process. That process builds on top of all the other application-specific or discipline-specific processes, like a hierarchy. The higher up you go, the more generic it gets. The lower down you go, the more you critique the exact math or test or whatever.

Google is doing the same by pushing their minimum android API requirement. I had to use one of those APK hosting sites to get the app for some wireless speakers i bought because google kicked them off the Play store. Of course you can't do this on Apple devices because they are locked harder than North Korea
>On a gigabit connection, he could download Borderlands in under 7 minutes. If that’s too long too wait, then having a faster connection isn’t this guy’s problem

Why should he have to wait several minutes?
I'm sure they are able to. The bottlenecks would be a place to sleep and access to the bathroom at a bare minimum. I've slept on the floor for a year so I can attest that there is definitely room on the floor where one can sleep. For access to the bathroom I don't think it will be a problem unless there's a significant amount of people sharing it.

You can see the equipment from this post being tested and used!
If people are still downloading and using an app, that should be reason enough to keep it. I would understand removing apps that virtually no one has downloaded, and also actually used, in the past two years. This may conceivably have even been the case here, but then Apple should communicate exactly that.

Please just stop with the thinking you are the only generation that has been or is being screwed. I can assure you, most boomers are not retiring “very well off”.

$400,000, the average price of a home these days, is not a lot of money to live on when one or both might end up needing assisted living. My mother-in-law burned through half that in the last nine months of her life despite having incredible insurance and government pension. Now that is a screwing.

I use an app called X-Privacy which can block specific permissions in other apps.

For example, I see no reason why a calculator app needs access to my contacts, phone, or microphone, and X-Privacy will let me disable permissions to those specific resources for the calculator app while still letting me use it. As a bonus, it'll also put in fake data in to these apps when needed, so the apps continue working, thinking they have access to my data but they don't.

Something like this should be standard in every smartphone, but obviously phone OS makers don't value privacy enough, and even require root in order to allow you to do this.
Removing by sale / usage rate might be fair.

No one opened your app in 2 years? It gets the boot.

If an app is still actively being used, removing it hurts developers and users!

I have apps on my Android phone that haven't been updated in years. They work just fine.

Heck on my MacBook I use an app that wad last updated in 2016 or so, and I consider it a vital pri0 part of my daily workflow!
I’m a happy Apple hardware customer for all of my devices, and while you will want to have a (free) Apple ID/account for the App Store if nothing else, you don’t really need to use any of their real services. I have iCloud mostly turned off, I use Apple Pay and Apple Music because I like them, but that’s all. Most of their paid services are garbage and I use alternatives.
> For euro/dollars that supply is dictated by a handful of individuals.

The supply is dictated by the country's government (or a complex web of governments and the EU, in the case of the euro), which is ultimately controlled by the people who live in that country, at least to some extent. If the US government and the Fed decided to issue 100 new trillion dollars tomorrow, devaluing everyone's money, there would be rioting in the streets. The politicians who participated or allowed it to happen would never see office again.

In contrast, the supply of Bitcoin is dictated by the programmers that actually do the work of writing the node software, in collaboration with the largest miners. Currently I believe they are respecting the protocol laid out by Satoshi, but they are free do decide to do otherwise at some point in the future. If they decided to issue new Bitcoin, Bitcoin may or may not collapse, but they would face no personal repercussions.

So I would say I personally, and I believe you as well, have a much bigger (though minuscule, of course) say about the supply of euro/dollars than we do in the supply of Bitcoin.
Scientists use Twitter to get eyes on their papers, talks, and posters. No scientist's work would be meaningfully impacted by the dissolution of Twitter. We had conferences and journals before the web, and we'll have them long after whatever big tech darling of the moment is gone.
I am running into website issues galore with quantbase today and it is turning me off.

Like:
window alert usage for "logging",

General session wonkiness.

Lovely console errors: "Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 2 column 1 of the JSON data"

Seems neat, though, I don't see why or how I should trust them with bank account access.
Real interest rates are still negative, with inflation being at 9%. So even if the yield is 3%, on the 5 year treasury, the real yield is -6%. What fool would lend someone 100 dollars to get back 94 dollars in 5 years? The biggest sucker is the person who owns a 30 year treasury, and if the Fed starts selling its treasuries, good luck getting a reasonable price for it.
This is such a bizarre take. Have you gone through the peer review process for a scientific paper? I have, and fairly reliably I’ve had experts in the field review the content and provide strong, thoughtful feedback. Maybe your particular subject field is more prone to politicking than mine? It’s hard for me to think of peer review as anything other than absolutely essential.
AFAIK there is no similar experience between programs, and the only thing in common is the base code, because depending on how the device and the tooling is, you need not only to configure which device are going to be used and how this will be used, but also you might need to create/edit manually files to link some inputs, outputs, and clocks.

In this matter my "real" experiences using Xilinx ISE and Xilinx Vivado, and the "virtual" ones are using the Mentor Graphics ModelSim, all of them using VHDL. Maybe in other suites, or using SystemC or SystemVerilog there are other experience, but I understand something so niche like this have this kind of quirks.
Bootcamps fill this role imo, it’s gonna be hard to decouple computer science from programming in a long term academic setting since the two are way more interchanged than people like to admit. We’ve hired people from bootcamps and they can use git, write basic code, etc but then we have to teach them to abstract code, understand time complexity, etc. I think there should be a two year degree that teaches only these things (because they are so important in a professional setting) but any 4 year degree will need to delve into CS.
> If evidence is produced that goes against a consensus then the consensus is wrong

To be more specific, then the consensus may be wrong. The bar to demonstrate that something is wrong and be taken seriously is meant to be higher than simply claiming one can produce evidence to the contrary.

When such evidence is discovered, the idea is that one would present that evidence to peers, who would attempt to replicate the findings, and support them if they are able to do so, or otherwise publish their counter-findings in response. This is obviously more complicated in practice because we're dealing with humans and not ideals (and thus we have things like the replication crisis), but that is the theory of how we advance the body of knowledge that we derive from scientific theses and experiments.

We do not advance it by claiming that evidence has been found and then leaving it at that, in a vacuum. So it's not exactly that science "works on consensus", in the sense that just a majority doesn't prove anything, but -- convincing, using evidence, the majority of the scientific community in your field, is certainly part of the process.
2 years is definitely too early, especially considering they're doing this to developers who are continuing to pay them $99/year to keep their apps up. The iPhone X came out 5 years ago, that was about the last time an update was needed to not look bad on newer devices. Some other commenters here fail to understand that many games are simply completed and don't need much updates to keep working on newer devices, especially if they purposely use minimalistic graphics. Even for regular apps pruning them after 2 years is a bit excessive but it's slightly more understandable there as they'll feel dated more quickly.
They have done tests with 100+ drone swarms. This is the biggest "air launched" swarm, meaning they are launching from tubes on helicopters rather than ground based systems.

That being said, I think calling this the largest is wrong

I'm well aware of overfitting, but it seems that these folks are not.
The challenge is, that's just one of many examples of problems that would be very opaque to non-experts.

Without deep knowledge of the crypto space, and excellent operational security pratices, putting a significant amount of money into these projects is a risky prospect.

For many people that's not a sensible trade-off.
