Thanks for chiming in!

My point is that your one instant in time is completely arbitrary. You do not know where the position is, and you do not know when the sound was emanated. I.e., you cannot calculate anything.

Your math would work iff you observe a discrete event where you can tie sound and light - engine blow-up, for example. In all other cases, it means nothing.

Again - why don't you hear the sound of the aircraft taking off if speed of sound is the only effect?
"We have something that can talk intelligently, but might be doing it mechanistically. ...how do we even tell in that case?"

You give it self-agency, resources then sit back and watch what happens next. Off course, in a self-contained virtual environment, full isolated from any real world stuff, just to be sure.

But hey, wouldn't the thing - good, bad, or else - figure this out and then try to subrepticiously escape to the real world?

Yep, it seems this is one of this cases when there's simply no simple answers. You have to make the call for long, complex, fully engineered answers, like launching rockets to LEO or building 2 nanometer hardware.

And then hope everything will work as expected, off course.
It's a matter of the weight/power relation. While batteries suck on weight/energy, their weight/power is great.

The lower that relation, the smaller you can make your VTOL vehicles, and the smaller the vehicles, the cheapest and more economical they are on total.
Hopefully they'll just force everyone to federate with XMPP again. That was pretty great and now we have OMEMO so it's even E2EE.
The article is correct, their explanation is poor. When you hear a sound with your eyes closed you can normally locate where it’s coming from. As in close your eyes and snap your fingers. Now suppose someone sets off a bomb some distance from you. You see the explosion or lightning flash etc but it takes a while for sound to show up. For stationary objects it doesn’t really matter you can still locate direction just fine.

Aircraft in level flight are also loud enough to be heard at distance sufficient to notice a delay. If the aircraft is flying by you hear sound from exactly one instant, but it like the explosion it was produced in the past. So if you close your eyes and try to locate the aircraft by sound you will point to wherever it was when it produced that sound not where it is right now.

The same is true of every sound you hear, but normally distances are short enough and speed are low enough it just doesn’t matter.
Ask for directions?

I've been designing Apple icons since 1986, and clearly remember using ResEdit to "paint" icons, one pixel at a time.

These days, I always use Adobe Illustrator to create my digital assets in vector form, and always start with black-and-white, for logos and icons. That's fairly standard "branding" stuff. The icon needs to be recognizable, even when reduced to 16 X 16 (OK, I'll allow 32 X 32), and in monochrome. I seldom need to move to Photoshop, to apply any raster work.

Nowadays, Apple allows vector assets, so I usually include them as vector PDF. It slows down Xcode, but seems to make the apps look a lot better, and they are probably much smaller (App size has never been an issue for me, anyway).
> The point is to keep local economies alive.

What seems to be happening is that local economies in smaller cities are booming, because people no longer commute to the bigger city. So it's more a shift.
For lights my ideal would be that there are no switches or controls and instead the lights turn on when someone enters a room and off when no one is there. Hues and brightness should be customizable per person along with reasonable defaults for multiple people in the room.

I'm imagining person recognition via security camera feeds. Again, ideally, all done locally.
I’d much rather improve an old and popular, but flawed, existing product, and delight millions of users with an improved experience.

A good company has both kinds of developers, ideally more of the improve type than the build new type.

Marketing names are what the users use. Users don’t say « let’s get in touch via Google Chat Platform Protocol v4".

They use the marketing name without knowing what is behind. And to be fair, as of today, I’m not even sure non tech people even know how the current mainstream Google chat is named. The only time I used Google chat (maybe it was hangouts) was to reach my coworkers when slack was down.

The law does actually - you can have zero period but it can’t count towards the instructional time required for students.

It’s actually deeply annoying for my daughter’s high school. It already started 1st period at 830, but since 0 period no longer “counts”, the day is getting extended by almost an hour for all students.

This is from an email from our district earlier in the year:

The exceptions to this are zero period classes. Since zero period classes are optional and not required, these classes may begin before 8:30 AM; they just cannot be used to meet the instructional minute's requirements of 64,800 annual schoolwide instructional minutes
Lol that's just rediculous.

Apple is dramatically better at both marketing and showmanship than Google is, and so Apple events draw much larger crowds.

The issue isn’t one of format, it’s distribution. Menu data is usually in hard copy form, and the utility to a restaurant in going to the trouble to duplicate it online and keep it up to date is almost certainly not worth it (in their eyes).

So I’m sure you could sign up yelp and google and Uber eats and everyone else for a common data standard, but you’d then still have to go chasing the restaurants to go put that information in a system somewhere.

We haven’t even really been able to convince businesses to put their opening hours online, it’s still such a problem that one of my interview questions at google in 2018 was “name as many ways as possible you might be able to discover a business’s opening hours online”

Menus are about an order of magnitude more complex than that - it’s a tough thing to get restaurants to do.
I've recently gone through a couple of the "must watch" Ghibli films, as well, and they really get you hooked into the story and you immediately forget that no, you shouldn't go to some guy and apply for a job just because you just got thrown into a fantasy world and it's the thing to do. Really good stuff.
And I can verify the software to some degree there, or (more usually) find the bugs. So this is the bug-free simulation? It's easier to run the simulation and see what happens, so much state to initialize.

Without evidence, that's why it's called faith. There are thousands of unfalsifiable possible starting points, the Judeo-Christian one is laughable.

It’s not the state in control of when children sleep, it’s business owners.

Children are dropped off at school at the time that allows the parents to get to work at the time required by their boss. And they’re picked up when their boss let’s them go.

The school day (in the form of sports/clubs etc) is extended to keep up with longer working days and the second parent having to work full time instead of part time.

And two parents have to work because they need the combined salary to make the mortgage work, for a home big enough for everyone.

I don’t see what SF has to do with anything? SF has made a number of incredibly poor anti-tech decisions that have pushed tech companies out of town. They kicked out Square, Stripe and PayPal (and I assume a myriad other payments companies, probably Airbnb) with Prop C. Of course people are leaving. Their jobs moved.

I wouldn’t confuse a particularly poorly managed city for a broader trend. The same is certainly not happening a few towns over in South San Francisco where Stripe is now located, or in Cupertino, or in Menlo Park. Or at Tesla. Or every financial business in New York. Anecdotally every early stage startup I know is starting in person.

Couple years from now, work from home will once again be the exception.
Hey, thanks for the advice. I'll share a link to an "howl" with a couple of screenshots!
While much of their research is focused on America, they offer substantial evidence that this applies to all democracies, not just America. They devote substantial pages to Hitler's election in 1932/1933, and they refute the idea that the crucial surge of voters in 1932 were necessarily on board with much of the Nazi agenda. The voters were simply voting against those who held power in 1932.

Crucially, they point out, in every democracy, over and over again, the public will vote out the ruling party whenever the economy is bad. Therefore, the public does not seem to have any particular allegiance to any particular theory of the economy. Does socialism work? Does free trade work? Do markets work? The public doesn't seem to have much commitment to any of these ideas. Instead, when the economy is bad, the public will vote against whoever is in power, and they will vote for the other parties, regardless of what those other parties believe in, therefore, as they said, from the point of view of the people who run the parties, it is a game of musical chairs.

Consider this bit:

Page 205

A crucial feature of this brief litany of electoral responses to the Depression is that the ideological interpretation customarily provided for voters’ reactions in the United States does not turn out to travel well. Where conservatives were in power when the Depression hit they were often replaced with liberals or socialists, as in the United States and Sweden. But where relatively leftist governments were in power during significant downturns they were often replaced with more conservative alternatives, as in Britain and Australia. Where the existing party system was oriented around noneconomic issues, as in Ireland, voters rejected the “ins” and replaced them with “outs” whose policy positions cannot even be sensibly classified in left-right terms. Where the timing of elections forced more than one major party to stand for reelection during the worst years of the Depression, as in Canada and Sweden, voters seem to have been perfectly willing to reject both in turn. Where complex coalition politics diffused responsibility, as in France and Germany, discontented citizens turned to unstable coalitions, to fringe parties, or to the streets. Simply put, there is no consistent ideological logic evident in voters’ responses to the Depression when we look beyond the American case. When voters got a chicken in every pot at election time, they usually liked the incumbent party’s ideology just fine, whatever it happened to be. But when incomes eroded and unemployment escalated, they became ripe for defection to anyone who promised to bring home the poultry.
Our 12-year old (but turning 13 soon! :eek:) has to leave the house on foot at 6.50am at the latest for the 10min walk to the station to catch a train to school, he gets there around 7.35am and his first lesson starts at 7.50am

Our 9-year old leaves on a (non-electric) scooter at 7.25am for the 10-min journey to school, he needs to be there for 7.45am

Our 6-year old leaves with me either in the car at 8.25am if we're late, or 8.15am on bikes if we're early, for kindergarden.

After all that, my wife gets up :)

So, only in aircraft it is different? Magical aircraft physics after all?

> " If some one was standing 1000 meters away from you, and had a sign that flashed a sequence of numbers, 1,2,3,4,… once per second, and at the same time as the number flashed, they shouted the number loud enough that you could hear it, do you think what you heard and what you saw would be in sync?

Of course not.

But to humor you: which is the distinct event in a normally flying aircraft in which you can tie the exact point at which the light and sound signal leave the aircraft towards you so you can use that to calculate the distance? Spoiler: there isn't, you cannot, and that is precisely the point.

There are some examples currently in Ukraine, in which you could use your argument.

re: your PS - it will depend on the school district, but my daughter’s high school is significantly extending their day. They were allowed to leave this year at 225 (with an optional 7th period that went to 310). Next year, they end at 329. And she gains no benefit in the morning because they already started first period at 830.
I think you're overstating what the source is saying a bit. Yes, that's literally what the source says, but it feels exemplary and to the extent it's true, it's true because of a lot of hidden assumptions. The source is basically saying "a normal teen in a vacuum gets sleepy at this time" but it points out many ways in which teens are not in any such vacuum and how they should be trying to get into and stay in that vacuum. A real teen doesn't live in that vacuum.

Teens are already staying up past their natural sleepiness time. Sleepiness is not the problem.

The problem with teens and sleep is not just that we expect them to get up early. We also expect them to go to school, do sometimes hours of homework, do as many extra-curricular activities as they can cram onto a CV, have jobs, spend time with family, and they usually want to have fun with friends and date. They're already sleeping as much as they can. (Many of them are also abusing caffeine and other drugs to manage all of it.)

Humans have two mechanisms for sleepiness. The first is a 'time since last sleep' function that builds sleepiness over time. This is delayed in teen. (This mechanism will respond poorly to later start times.) The second is a 'has it gotten dark' function that responds to the daylight. This is also delayed in teens.

Very likely many teens will simply stay up later. They'll have to in order to keep doing all they want and are expected to do.

However, the delayed start is still a good thing because it is much better aligned with the second mechanism of sleepiness, gives them more opportunities for sleep, and will likely reduce their morning grogginess, even if they don't get more sleep overall.
Good on you for taking feedback so well

However, it seems the title is still called "Paid Search Engines are Dead on Arrival"? Sorry I have no clue how to navigate this lmao
Something that occurs to me is that Humans are a lot more "pretrained" than we think. And almost all of the heavy lifting comes from evolutionary learning. So it makes more sense to compare children learning to fine tuning, not pre training.
aren't all the Big Tech companies you are thinking of, actually American Big Tech companies spreading out into other places? If I were not an American, I can definitely sympathize with the point of view that having American companies run vital communications for other populations.. is not OK. Open Standards are the concerted effort of thinking people to make something where the motivations can vary, but the tech is reliable. I think it is no accident that things like weather apps, chat, and trading photos have become ... not only that ..

This was in the context of using the video as a texture. As I tried to explain, the RGB texture formats with 8-bit precision use 32-bit words. There are no 24-bit formats available as a texture format.
NV12 is also a native texture format, so it makes sense to compare these two formats in this context.

> It's supposed to provide "instant on" experience

Is that actually the case? I can't think of any of my laptops, PC or Mac, that would have me wait around for them to wake up, including those running Linux. It basically takes me more time to open the lid and get my hands on the keyboard than it takes the laptop to wake up.

I always thought they were trying to copy Apple's "power nap", for checking email and whatnot while asleep. I always found this stupid on macOS, even though by default it only does it if it's plugged-in, so likely to have network access. Whereas my current PC laptop doesn't even have S3 sleep anymore, regardless of plug-in state.

I know about hibernation, but it has quite a bunch of RAM, and despite the fast SSD, it takes longer to go to sleep and wake up than my older, slower ones with S3 did.
I take no position on crop circles, but, to be fair, discounting someone because they make their living studying something is not a reasonable thing to do. For example "Remember, this climate scientist gets lots of funding because people think there is a climate problem coming."

I remember waking up and walking around the house until I ran into one of my parents. My father was complaining about something that apparantly I had done, he wanted me to say a phrase that obviously pointed to me and I remember thinking that it was dumb since that was the same as a confession.

Notheless I repeated it to him since more than anything it seemed he just wanted me to say it for his own amusement. Shortly after while I was under this fog of confussion I was given photographs of me with some cousins at some nearby park, the event had happened a week earlier and I was very intrigued by these photos and spent a long time looking at them trying to recall the event in some way
but no matter how much I tried I never did, to me it was the same as looking at a stranger's photos.

That's my first memory, since then its been an uninterrupted stream. By my calculations I must have been older than 3 and younger than 5 since I remember when my sister was born who is the youngest but not my younger brothers. If someone ever mentions a past event all I ever need is a few pieces and then I will eventually recall without problems and with many more details than they themselves remember, same thing with any photograph that includes others. I've never experience anything similar to that initial event.
I tend to agree when it's phrased like that.
