> These are the same things that can cause a traffic accident for a human with human eyes, so there's really no logical reason to assume that you can create a more performing and safer computer driver by emulating human vision only.

Okay. This is a concrete claim that I think is falsifiable. I'll give not just one, but multiple arguments.

Argument 1: Connect Four, Chess, Checkers, Go, Limit Hold'em, No Limit Hold'em, Poker, DOTA, and Starcraft II are all examples of games in which AI outperforms even the best humans despite having equal sensory access. Driving can be reduced to a problem comparable to playing an imperfect information game and we can play imperfect information games at superhuman levels using computers. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that even human-level sensory access can enable safer than human performance.

Argument 2: Currently we have statistics on driver-assistance programs that demonstrate that human + technology assistance is superior to human alone. This holds true even in cases in which those assistance technologies are only using vision. So we have a contradiction. If it wasn't possible to do better than human with only human senses, we wouldn't be able to point to many different situations in which driving with an AI clearly outperforms humans, but we can. For at least those subsets of AI driving, we can say that an AI driver will outperform humans.

If it’s as clear as you claim it would be easy to back up the extraordinary claim that the top court in the entire country is not concerned with the rule of law.

This is a very western-centric viewpoint. Most of the world does not use the Latin alphabet as its primary writing system.
It's a resource to learn and follow smart and interesting people who know a lot about different subjects you're interested in (lists are good for this purpose). You tweeting is not necessary at all to get value out of twitter.

I've learned a ton about economics, geopolitics, history, Bitcoin, finance, health and nutrition and software development on Twitter (have lists for some of these, while much is just in my main feed).
It's too bad the ARM world seems vehemently opposed to UEFI/ACPI. On x86 platforms, you can rely on a standard interface for everything... Loading the kernel from the UEFI partition, enumerating PCIe and USB devices, console input/output, even drawing simple 2D graphics to the framebuffer.

DeviceTree is just a file format, it's not really an alternative to the guarantees that UEFI/ACPI provide.
Plugin Architectures: A Great Idea for Community Building
Sweet, thanks for the tips!
Not OP, but been playing classical music for ... christ, 17 years.

It often is.

"Modern" usually implies dissonance, syncopation, and sometimes downright atonality and free time.

These concepts are fun from a musicians standpoint, as they break away from formalities and rules, but do so within a complex musical context in ways that are very difficult as the instruments are balancing between having the cake and eating it against each other, simultaneously.

This is hard to pick up on, which in effect often leads to the sub-genre confining itself to musicians-listening-to-other-musicians demographics, eg. "are they high?"-jazz.

Similar comparisons can be made for Picasso and art in general I suppose(?).
Wii boots into a shell but when a game starts, it completely takes over. The menu you see when pressing the home button is not from the OS, it is called by the game into a linked library provided by Nintendo. Even shutting down the console by pressing the power off button had to be implemented by developers in order to be allowed to release.

“and people who need phones will still buy something even if reluctantly“

So true... And my anecdotal observation suggest another detail that makes small unattractive to brands: the way my social circles happen to be, I crossed path with plenty of owners of various incarnations of the Xperia Compact (r.i.p.). If my observations where representative, the Compacts would come close to outnumbering iPhones. They all wanted a small phone, somewhat waterproof and with a reasonably good camera. Almost all of them identifying strongly with some outdoor hobby like cycling or rock climbing, but wouldn't want a dedicated "outdoor" or "sports" phone. So far so good, looks like a pattern. But they have another thing in common: none of them would ever consider buying a high end phone (the Compacts were, or reasonably close) at or near release price.
The puzzle is not that the government should be as productive as the private sector. The first part of the puzzle is, given that historically equities have returned a lot more (5% to 8% annually, compounding in the long term), why is there still so much money invested in T-Bills (which is what makes their return low and enables the US gov to borrow cheaply).

The classical answer is that stocks might return much more on average but are also much riskier / more volatile. Now the second part of puzzle is, that explanation only holds when investors in the aggregate are extremely risk-averse, much more so than how they are observed to behave in practice (such as in simple betting situations).
Oh, that's for sure. If you don't know what direction to go, you'll get into a random walk, for what the most common outcome is to spend all your days moving without getting anywhere.

If instead you rush, you get a longer average free-path and may gather enough information from the results to decide a direction.

The situation is different if you already know where you are going before you start.

Given that the two monarchs that are the subject of this thread are very closely related, I don't get all the dismissals of this being a superficial likeness.

They literally have extremely similar genetics. They should look similar. There aren't any gotchas.
To expand on what a sibling comment suggested, the art world since the early 1900s has become defined by speculative trading, and some of those early artists were ultra-hyped, and their art has appreciated by millions-fold in the speculative art markets. Picasso is one of those ultra-hyped artists that was at the center of the initial FOMO fevers. Picasso is a good artist, but you have to wonder how, what, and whether Picasso would have painted if the art world didn't gain this feverish speculative dimension with Picasso at the center of it.
Seems like a slight variant of the OG Shivan Dragon!
I know where you are coming from so I won't prolong the debate. I'd only add that it's excellent that you haven't succumbed to the regular phone upgrades that have become almost mandatory for some users. I agree, changing batteries is a cheaper and better option.

It’s not just what is on the canvas but what it entails in the midst of the world. One example is Massacre in Korea for instance [1]. Picasso was much more than a guy drawing on a canvas.

I don't see a conflict in an artist being the near the end of his biological life, and also a peak in descriptive artistic powers.
So are you arguing that it's impossible for skilled artists to make bad art? You're saying a master chef never makes meals that objectively taste bad, even if they are experimenting with completely new flavors and techniques? I think some people in this thread have raised Picasso to Godhood status. In my reckoning, Picasso was a skilled artist in an ocean of other skilled artists so he was desperate to do something different to try and stand out from the crowd. So he started experimenting with new "flavors and techniques". Assuming he is human, we can safely assume some of his experimental creations fell flat and objectively turned out bad. To deny this is to uphold Picasso as a God who is incapable of producing anything but perfection.

You can't have "everything you wanted to know about terminals" with absolutely no mention of terminfo and (previously) termcap.

You don't necessarily need ncurses to have a portable smart terminal experience, but you do need terminfo.

ncurses magic relies on the lore stored in terminfo, which contains all of the obscure escape sequences and other information about the disparate world of terminals.

They're maintained as a combined package, but you don't need ncurses to drive the screen. You can get the codes yourself if that's what you want to do. You can use tput to make colorful labels in shell scripts.

While much of the world has moved on to the One Terminal running on the One OS, not everyone has.

That's why I said probably.

I think it would take something like Russia launching nukes at NATO to cause the stock market to tank in a straight line though.

Maybe less extremely, Russian nat gas going to Germany being shut off overnight might do it as well.

Stocks/securities/crypto usually never go straight down unless it has become apparent that they're fundamentally worthless. I don't see that becoming common sentiment with the US economy.

More likely we're going to see a short squeeze start around now though. WSB on reddit is likely piling into the SPY heavily short, expecting the market to drop line a stone like it did at the start of the pandemic and they're dreaming of chicken tendies. They'll likely get blown out in a squeeze.

Likely, likely, probably though.

Let's just end the simulacra and embrace the absurd, take a video of yourself walking into the room, acting surprised that someone's on a call and awkwardly backing out of the room, if your platform supports animated backgrounds, use it.

Take anyone who notices and asks if you have a previously undisclosed twin-sibling out to dinner for being observant.

not challenging you, just asking, what is the distinction you're drawing between distributed and decentralized?

one idea would be, the db is completely synchronized on 3 redundant servers, so it's decentralized

each column of a table is stored on a different server, so it's distributed...?
Uhh Zoom is not going to erase the improved color balance and bokeh. Although I'll agree with you when it comes to the author's claim about fine-grained facial details being improved by the camera; those you'll almost certainly lose over Zoom compression.

Honestly the hybrid physical controls to control a screen is probably the best option. You don't have to visually process what's on teh screen, where to touch, etc. each time.

Eventually I'd imagine you'd get the navigation down to muscle memory like typing on a keyboard - knowing exactly where each option is and where to click or turn the nav button thingy.

Have fun trying to blind-touch a screen when you're on a bumpy road trying to turn the windshield wipers on! :P

Who knows, maybe we're the old ones and the younger generation have all this figured out in their heads already!
Unless we are very close to "peak software" where the most valuable problems are already solved (very unlikely), raising the productivity of some developers will not negatively affect other ones.
I worry a little bit. I ignore it for now but fear it may get to the point where I can’t ignore.

One thing is their org structure is weak. They don’t allow sub-orgs or any organization. So if you have a big organization, it’s just chaos and their solution is to set up profiles and complex notifications.

There’s no way to just set up groups and watch those while also being part of an overall org.

I have 500 people and 250 projects in my org. It’s all private so they expect people to use social features for team awareness. A new member has to get a list of repos worked on by their team (maybe permissions are granted based on a team) and then go star and watch them.

This is not a problem for a single coder or someone who’s on a few projects. But it’s not very good for an enterprise that already has an organization.

Instead of tidying this up, github seems to be getting worse with feeds and stuff.
I mean compared to the pro.

I would consider both flagship models, considering the pricing. For me mid-range is < 500€ (and normally way below that) so the iPhone SE doesn't even qualify here in Europe (it's 529€).

My current mid-range phone is a Samsung A52s which costs 329€.

But perhaps my long Android history has skewed my pricing concepts somewhat.

> If this thread proves anything it’s that there is huge demand for customizable phone designs.

I think it just proves what we already know -- there is a vocal minority (but strong emphasis on minority) who would like a customizable phone. The market largely doesn't seem to care. And it may even actively discriminate against customizable phones by ensuring they had no resale value. The more custom you want it, the fewer people who want to buy that particular device.

Yes indeed, OP specifically chose "hard mode" here by not using a distribution that supports it with a prebaked image.

That's fine for the OP! They probably wanted to experiment and tinker, no problems there. But it seems to have given a lot of people in this thread the wrong idea about how well supported these devices are for normal users.

Art and Engineering are not the same.
Yeah, I wouldn't rely on it as a primary marketing channel in most cases, especially if I had to build it from the ground up.

Conflating "feels good" with "this is working" is right on point, too.

I'm sure it works better as a marketing channel for specific niches, though (just like Instagram works best for certain types of brands).

Other than that, it's just a good place for all kinds of organic engagement in general if that's where your audience is. Not necessarily marketing.
Since "art is about art" came from me: I see nothing unsubstantial in that very expression. Art is expression, art is play, but most importantly, art is free. I don't see why anybody has to be ostracized for not finding access to it, but ironically you're making the case for the opposing claim: nobody here judged people for not "getting it", yet you're insinuating various things about the group that "claims to get it".

Why bother making it about identity and individual attributes? I find that exhausting. I'm blown away by Picassos work, because I find true beauty in his way of abstracting. He very clearly saw the world from a special point of view, which he translated in a way that language is not meant to convey. I can't claim to truly see what he saw just by looking at his work, but I'm seeing something, and I couldn't care less wether you find this to be an unsubstantial claim, because I don't have to make everything in life about groups and identity, peer confirmation, etc etc.

Some well meant food for thought: not all data has to fit your model of the world. Usually when this happens, it's not a data-problem. Now you can say "well people who claim they see value in abstract art are noise to me", and that's ok, it's your model - but I found it to be a far better strategy in life to keep my mind open instead of being reactionary when confronted with something that doesn't please me. Cheers!
You couldn't find an authoritative spec because there isn't a universal standard. Lots of terminal emulators differ in different ways.

Right, but those are your specific requirements, the next person will insist on dual-sim. LineageOS capability is another piece that requires work, the headphone jack might be too hard for a small-scale small-phone manufacturing line as well, since someone else will require that it's waterproof.

There is a smartphone that meets the needs of a small-phone purchaser, after all, if small is the requirement - the iphone mini. But purchasing that would require some compromise on your hardline requirements, which will be different to someone else's hardline requirements such as a swappable battery.
In the short term this is harmful for consumers, hitting low income people the hardest. In the long run maybe it's beneficial because it incentivizes people and governments to transition to lower cost and more efficient (both from an economic and environmental perspective) forms of transit like walking, cycling, public transit, electric vehicles, etc. But maybe in the long run it is harmful to the climate change cause because it helps elect climate deniers.
Compensation or time off in lieu for overtime and callouts is the bare minimum we should expect. That shouldn't even be up for debate, and I'm glad to say, everywhere I've worked (in the UK) respects that.

Where I have problems is being expected to be available while "on call" but not being paid for it. In my opinion: if you can't get shit faced, you're working, and should be compensated accordingly with all working time regulations applying as normal.

I'd say distributed is about redundancy and scale within a single entity's infrastructure, where as decentralized implies multiple entities working together.
I don't think GP is saying we'd have difficulty encoding the cards. I think they're saying that deck performance is very sensitive to minor changes, and dependent on a lot of interactions between sets of cards.

To add to that point, decks can be good or bad based on the ecosystem (meta) they're playing in. A deck that aims to rush you down might be great in a meta where players expect slow decks, but terrible in a meta where many decks have means of healing themselves.
I find experiencing the bad thing fixes my faulty risk assessments.
