Reminds me of when I played SimCity 2000 as a teenager. In my first attempt I ran out of money and got kicked out.

So I decided to start again. I noted down the cost of all the necessary items: Residential, city, industrial zones, cost of building roads, power plant, and utility lines, and of course water. I put the game on pause, took out a notebook, and started calculating a somewhat optimal city with the initial budget I was provided.

I built the city very quickly, and this time round I didn't run out of money, and took the game all the way to archologies. I did skimp on fire stations and a disaster destroyed most of the city, but it still survived overall.

I don't think I could have succeeded without that level of planning.
In case you have not seen it, there is an excellent talk by Rich Hickey on what "simple" is and how it differs from "familiar" or "easy": https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy He proposes that "simple" is more objective than subjective.
So increase the price?

As a criminal defense attorney, I will never own a FaceID device. Ever. I owned an iPhone 7, then an iPhone 8, then an iPhone SE 2020, then another iPhone SE 2020. I may upgrade to the iPhone SE 2022.

Cost is not an issue for me. I don't buy the iPhone SE because I'm cheap. I buy the iPhone SE because it is, on balance, hands down the best phone Apple makes right now for people who value convenience, portability, and security.

I tried the iPhone Mini when I broke my first iPhone SE while hiking. I don't trust FaceID to work when I want it to (masks, glasses vs contacts, etc. tripped it up). I don't trust FaceID not to work when I don't want it to. I ended up returning it and going back to the SE.

I don't think I'm alone.

Do you think USD (or some other fiat) is a good medium for storing value? If not, can you see that your latter claim invalidates the former?
Canon's EOS Webcam Utility supports cameras down to the EOS 1100D, which, depending on your level of luck, you can find used under $100. Then all you need is a kit lens which can be found for very very cheap nowadays. Or, if you really think you won't be moving much, just get a super cheap vintage one.

As I said, I already have GPUs. If you don't think mining has been profitable for me and others during e.g. the last year then you need a reality check, cause it has been profitable.

> If you're already spending 1J of energy to get 1J of heat, a heat pump is not going to turn that 1J of heat into 2-3J of heat, nor is it going to recover any of the Joules you've spent to generate that heat.

It's not magic, or complicated. The energy spent is used multiple times, as I said. You can save energy using a heat pump both by using it for initial heating, or transferring existing heat that would otherwise be thrown away.

So no, I'm not misunderstanding anything. If you think it's not possible then you too can get this "magic" using e.g. Nibe F750 + SAM40. Check their documentation, it even has charts for everything!

I.e. the problem isn't video games, it's ads, greed, and lazy parenting.

It's not that hard to find good games. Even our moms managed to know Nintendo. We were annoyed that every video game was a "Nintendo" to our moms, but thinking back on it, that meant mom walks into game store and asks for Nintendo, can't go wrong there.
These days I've been using the free tier of OCI (Oracle's cloud thingy) [1] for my personnal CI/CD and some random services that don't have any disponibility requirements. They give out 4vCPUs (ARM) / 24GB machines. I threw Drone CI [2] on it and I don't have to worry about any quotas. Albeit the block storage attached to these instances is nothing to write home about (60 IOPS/GB). As a side note, Oracle's IAM is especially shit.

For a long time, a friend recorded TV shows and movies on multiple VCRs. I went to their house, it was literally stacks of video casettes on every wall surface, thousands of them. They even used to mail them back and forth to other countries in trades for other English content.

Nowadays, they digitized all of it onto 12 2 TB harddrives. They take a different one out every evening and organize and share, get more things, etc. While the cost may be comparable, the fact that they could regain their house walls was a huge boon.
Does this work with the Teams client on MacOS without having to disable code signing?
I'll have to try it again, I didn't realize there was a setting for it. I uninstalled it because the typing felt really slow and awkward.

My two cents, default disable so it feels faster, it sounded like speed and smoothness was one of the many selling points.
> I'd regularly get comments from Germans that I was crazy to cycle that distance through all weather.

It is a bit unusual outside of the Netherlands and Denmark.

I tried to cycle to work 8km or so and it was fine until I had to cross a slope. And since this slope was etched by the nearby river, it went through the whole city, so there wasn't any way around it.

Took all the fun out of it honestly, especially during heatwaves.

My seeding ratio is in the positive! I keep the downloaded file and seed until I hit 2.00, then it's gone.

I have to convert and move the original file for my TV anyway, so sometimes the file will be gone from my library, but I'm still seeding the original for a while afterwards.
I definitely want a smaller phone but I don't know that I'd call myself a power user given that I use my phone less now than I have in the past 5 years - but it has been a total replacement for things like photography.
You think voting on Roe vs Wade would solve it? Not a snowball chance in hell. Republic is there to make it so that wishes of different parts of the state that do not align at all do not rip the state to pieces and lead to a civil war. Governing by simple majority in long term never worked and never will.

Everyone likes to talk about will of the people. Well here is news. Different people have different desires, in different regions of the country majority wants to do different things. Only way to keep lid on this without the whole thing blowing up is to have representation of the this and slow the process down as much as possible, quick changes are the most disruptive/dangerous.
A cheapish alternative is to use https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ndi-hx-camera/id1477266080 or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newtek.ndi... and OBS as a webcam. The back camera on most phones is quite a bit better than any webcam.

Yes the app is $20 but for me it was worth it.
Here is a list of things (bits of insight, strategies) you may find helpful. IME, anxiety and the resulting procrastination has more to do with fear of failure and insufficiency than feeling that you can't actually do something. It's a preemptive attempt to get you to not try at something, and the best way to overcome it is to find ways to "do the try" without making it seem like you are confronting the fear ("I'm not going to swim, I'm just going to wade in the shallow end of the pool for a bit").

https://github.com/jay-gates/dailywisdom

Some examples {with comments}:

- Set goals to 'good enough'/iterative development {lower the bar, to avoid a barrier to getting started}

- When you feel overwhelmed, pick ONE THING to focus on, ignore everything else; then when that's done, pick ONE THING.... {don't get overwhelmed by the WHOLE THING, pick one smaller part to focus on}

- Don't 'chain' tasks if it causes the whole chain to be put off; do what you can NOW and worry about the rest later {don't TRY to do the whole thing at once; intentionally break it up into separate, more manageable pieces}

- Use zazen (shikantaza) to overcome 'scattered thoughts' (too many thoughts or anxious thoughts) {resistance to doing things is caused by subconscious mental activity (your "little minds" talking at you in the background); quiet your conscious mind, rather than expending all of your energy "arguing" with them, which is what they "want"}
I also got a 13 Mini. It's a nice phone, but it feels very dense, especially with the magsafe case. I'm not sold on the experience coming from Android, but it seems like it's a case of learning workarounds.

In hindsight, I realised that I was coming from an Android phone a few generations back (Pixel 2) which I considered to be a reasonable size. Pixels have gotten about 10 mm longer over time. However now we have wall to wall screens, it's quite a difference. The iPhone Pro is the same form factor as a Pixel 2, for example, but is all screen. 6" seems doable for Android, but that's a lower bound.

I think what we all want is a Pixel 2 without the bezel. There are lots of phones with smaller OLED displays, but none without the bezel.
Hi Eric, I'm a hardware startup guy myself (our paths have crossed) with the distinction that my own "very specific set of skills" has been honed at smartphone megacompanies and smartphone startups. OSOM, Essential, HTC, Samsung, Apple. I've designed and built a lot of phones. I'm building one now. I think this is a noble effort, I personally prefer pocketable phones too, but I think there are nigh-insurmountable hurdles in your paths forward.

- 1. Supply chain / component R&D -

You will be very, very hard pressed to source a pre-existing, high quality, non-exclusive 5.4" display with a hole punch. If you end up doing this as your own startup then you're going to start by trying to buy off the shelf parts to keep costs down. But that display you want is simply not on any of the development roadmaps for the major component manufacturers. The industry has its own momentum, and the component suppliers have also been looking at the trendlines so they are building bigger and bigger.

If you can't find the screen you want in a catalogue then you have to pay someone to build it. Convincing BOE et. al that your phone will sell enough to pay off R&D costs is unlikely, so be prepared to pay several million bucks in NRE to make it worth their time (it might still not be) and the wait a year for them to spin up the fabs. So ~$5M and 9-18 months later you have a display.

- 2. Big players are uninterested, not uninformed -

Big companies are drowning in market data. They know some people really, really want small phones. But it's a long-tail opportunity they're willfully ignoring, and people who need phones will still buy something even if reluctantly. I've been in the meetings, small phone advocacy goes nowhere.

Also I'm a little surprised you're hoping an online petition will work after your prior experience trying to influence your acquirers. I presume you saw the inside of Fitbit / Google and how decisions are made...

Chat: IRC was good, XMPP has all the modern things folks apparently want, Matrix is the hip new chat thing.

Storing knowledge: Has a good system already (a wiki, take your pick of software). It is widely used, everyone agrees it is good. What holds wikis back is most folks insist on using really bad wiki hosts that are full of ads and javascript.

Community building: Forums (bad choice because nobody writes longform anymore, so why even have this)? Mastodon (not an ideal choice for the format, but it aligns with how people interact)? Literally anything that can be indexed and searched in a non-cancerous way gives you an advantage over Discord. If you'd ask me to do it, I'd probably go for an indexed mailing list. It's accessible to literally everyone and folks have used it to talk since the dawn of computers.
Because they have financial analysts working for them.
This is just a waste of time when the real culprits are the oil companies. If people are serious about this then they need to go after the real culprits, not shave a few specs from around the edges.
Sure, but that's a caveat that applies to testing in general, not something somehow special to composability. Bugs that only appear in edge cases or give wrong answers are always a concern when writing tests, that's nothing new.

I don't actually even see any evidence here that these sorts of bugs are more common or more insidious than any other sort of bug, rather it looks to me that since dispatch-based composability is a bit of a new phenomenon, people haven't always been on the lookout for these bugs yet, or learned the patterns of where and what to test for to find them -- but once you've seen a few cases, patterns start appearing and it becomes more clear what you need to test, just like anything else.

The broader issue to me is that I think people often underestimate the degree to which Julia is a fundamentally different programming paradigm than any other language most people have used before (unless you've spent a lot of time in maybe CLOS or Dylan) -- there's not even an agreed-upon name for it, but I'd call it "dispatch-oriented programming". Often times people will come in to Julia expecting all their expertise and intuition from class-based OO or whatever other paradigm to just effortlessly transfer to Julia, and that's really not the case, which tends to lead to frustration.

Chatbots are a privacy nightmare. They even see what you're typing before you hit submit so they can prepare their 'answer' super quick. Glad uBlock Origin has some rules to block them out of the box.
There’s “thicker” and there’s “thick”.

The iphone 13 is 7.65mm. The Unihertz Jelly is 16.5.

Apple hasn’t made a phone thicker than 10mm since the 3GS, and that was 12.3 (up from the original 2G’s 11.6 because of the rounded plastic back vs flat aluminum).
What about a year or so later when supply chains are back to normal and crypto demand dries up? Suddenly investors are wondering why their revenues are falling 50% instead of 5% that they predicted.
I repurposed my old 6s and I gotta say the quality is excellent. And the free version of the software has more than enough for most people, so this could very well be a completely free upgrade for someone.

I do have a lifetime license, and have tested it with my 12 pro and while it obviously looks better, most of the time I stay with the 6s and default settings since I can just leave it mounted on top of my monitor.
Yay!!! :-)
Well one thing you wouldn’t want to do is take the output of this model and then apply a correction factor for race on top of it, because the model is already taking that into account.
Can you run autofocus continuously when you're not actively recording?
We shop daily for a family of three. I’ve never had to stand in line either. I walk in, grab what I need, scanning as I go on my phone, then walk out. It’s that easy. Sure, occasionally they want to check my backpack to see if I missed scanning some items, but that’s only once every few weeks.
Because you want to modify it. Right? Tell me about all of your planned modifications. So many changes. So custom. So freedom.
The previous security update window guarantee for Pixels from Google was 3 years. With the 6 series (I believe they confirmed this includes the 6a) they extended that to 5 years.

My real problem isn't the previous 3 year window but that it counts from the first day they sell it, not the last. I bought my current phone, a Pixel 3a, late in its cycle for cheaper, early in 2020. It's now basically at the end of its updates because the guarantee counts 3 years starting from the release date in mid-2019, not from when I bought it.

5 years is obviously preferable but I'd like them to have also shifted it to be based on when they stop selling them new.
Thanks, very good video.
> IQ score (which is based on speed)

IQ tests are not based on speed?
Hades, played competently, is a nice little optimization problem with lots of arbitrary constraints thrown at you to keep it fresh. Well, it is mostly reflexes, but the optimization problem is also a significant part of it.

Grand strategy and 4x games always feel like too much depth, to me. I know I could do better if I pause and manually place every worker/micro everything. But that's overwhelming. I could try to be clever and only optimize where necessary, but the game is paused, there's no tradeoff for analyzing everything other than my time. Just give me the meaningful choices, game!

Why does my Go Pro Hero 9 Black not work as a webcam with anything other than Cisco WebEx on MacOS? I can't get it to work with OBS or Discord on Mac, and I can't get any video from it on Windows. It's a fucking mess.
This was one of the original use cases of Crypto!

Have you looked at the Stellar Project? They've got a lot of remittance systems running on it that may suit you. Algorand is also a low-cost alternative, if you're looking to frequently send small amounts (assuming your mother has access to a fiat off-ramp like Binance).
Actually I prefer not to show face during any meeting. So probably won't buy an extra camera just for that. However, could be useful once I'm semi-retired and start streaming retro gaming.
Long ago, computing was about freedom.

"I can organize a music collection the way I want...AND take it with me wherever I go?"

Somewhere along the line "convenience" displaced "freedom".

"Why manage my own collection when I have Spotify or Apple Music?"

I suspect the pendulum will swing back at some point.
It's nice to have that space for your house, but on the other hand your kids can't go to school by themselves, and neither can you jump on your bike for some shopping and be back in ten minutes.
In OmniOutliner, the collapse row shortcut will collapse the parent which takes care of the specialized extra keybind. What seems odd is OmniOutliner and Bike's outline/collapse row keys are reversed with cmd-0 and cmd-9 doing collapsing and expanding in one and expanding and collapsing in the other.
> Most kit lenses are pretty bad

errrr... no they aren't. The 24-85 I have on my Nikon D600 is extremely sharp. The 18-55 on most DX Nikons is also pin sharp. For a webcam it surely doesn't even matter?
> You've just eliminated all social sciences

Because they're indeed not sciences.

They call themselves that to attract funding.

Predictive power and reproducibility are defining characteristics of sciences.

Social "sciences" have neither and therefore aren't sciences.

I'd like a small premium Android phone too.

I was thinking about my previous phones the other day, and I really miss some of the more innovative ones from HTC. I think the Startrek was my favorite - a Windows Mobile flip phone with a "dumb phone" keypad. The myTouch 3g might be next - Android with physical buttons and a trackball(!)

Phones have gotten faster, but they keep getting bigger, the battery life is rarely more than a day's worth of use, and the "premium" ones keep getting more expensive - while simultaneously loosing features like expandable storage and the headphone jack.
Anyone is allowed to prefer a programming style that suits their aesthetics and habits, and like that one over all others. Aesthetic preferences are a very valid way to choose your programming language — ultimately that's how we all pick our favourite languages — and there's no need to make up universal empirical claims to support our preferences.

Here's a good talk to watch on the subject: https://youtu.be/ePCpq0AMyVk

And here's a summary of various studies done: https://danluu.com/empirical-pl/

As of today, what we know is that if there's a positive effect of types on correctness, then it is probably a small one.

There's really no need to assert what is really a conjecture, let alone one that's been examined and has not been verified. If you believe the conjecture is intrinsically hard to verify, you're conceding that you're only claiming a small effect at best (big effects are typically not hard to verify), and so there's even less justification for continuing to assert it. It's okay to prefer typed languages even though they do not, as far as we know, have a big impact on correctness.
You don't have to statically link everything. You should choose based on (a) if the lib has to be dynamic (eg. portability layers, crypto) (b) if the lib is widespread and has stable ABI.
Those diagnoses aren't wrong, the patients' bodies spontaneously healed themselves. You didn't address my other cases.

> I don't see how the fact that people are capable of error justifies a pretense that newborns are people.

Well, you're the one proposing this radical idea that newborns aren't people (and suggesting, I believe, that it's okay to kill them because they're "not people"); you justify it.

At what age or stage of development do newborns turn from not-people to people? We can't check with you on a case-by-case basis.

OP Doesn't need to go to rehab, but OP described a problem (expense is growing) and one solution would be to think about the collection in a different way. I think in this case, it is a 'problem' in a practical sense, not a moral one. That being said if OP just wants to vent and doesn't want a solution then there's that too.
So this is a bit tangential.

I've been considering open sourcing my search engine. Search is like a fractal of interesting problems, and pretty much every aspect of the search engine has known areas of improvement, so I'm sure it would be a fun project to collaborate on.

I'm honestly a bit at a loss how to actually go about it, since it's not an application or a library where others are expected to run it, but a fairly bespoke piece of web service that requires specific hardware configurations to do anything useful (as well as extremely unwieldy datasets). The only rolemodel I can find is something like Wikipedia.

I'm curious if anyone knows good "role models"?
Oh, thanks. I clicked on that and saw a patch of grass and some water and was wondering what the heck that had to do with wave function collapse (in the quantum physics sense). Kind of waited to see if there was some animation, maybe some particles would hit the grass or water or something... but it was static.
> The point is not whether including polygenic scores is better than nothing. The point is whether it's good enough to justify the claims they are making. It's not.

What is the justification for this assertion? If polygenic scores are simply "noisy," then, as the GP mentioned, they may be good enough when used in aggregate. There can be a lot of signal in noisy data. Ask any ML practitioner.
