When I was in high school some 20 years ago, I had to be up no later than 6 if I wanted to make my zero period choir class. And moving it after school was a no go due to related (theater or band) extra-curriculars. Regular school started at 7:20. We have exchange students, and it's slightly better for them at 7:45…
White bulbs with adjustable "temperature" e.g 2500K, 3000K, 5000K. I can never go back to regular dimmable bulbs.
I've always read that the word "baroque" came from a word that meant "misshapen pearl", but I've never actually seen these pearls before. These are very neat.
Yep, the "stateless" part of the state machine is its transition function.
After being diagnosed with glaucoma I did a fair amount reading about that condition. My conclusion is that aside from some specific cases (head/eye injury) nobody really knows what causes it, there are probably multiple reasons, it could be a downstream effect from other health problems, and there just isn't a lot of research to sort it out.

Cynically, I feel like there is a lot of money being made just by treating eye disorders the same way its been done for decades. For example, right now, the main treatment I use for glaucoma is eye drops, which is the same treatment given to my grandmother when she was diagnosed in the 1960s. And those drops are not covered by insurance, rather expensive, and I have to take them every day forever, along with twice a year eye exams and visual field tests.
Fair enough to the last point; but I did enter this thread open to be proven wrong, and then keep seeing sentences in the form of "which is only useful for distributed authoritative state", which is specifically my point. I have made reference several times to successful businesses, from startup to multinational, which are implementing blockchain without distributed authoritative state. Rather than specific discussion on validity of those use cases, all I am repeatedly seeing is casual dismissal without discussion. It is that repeated response that firms up my perspective.

I also do not believe blockchain, bitcoin, and cryptocurrency are actually synonyms and easily interchangeable, in knowledgeable or not knowledgeable audiences. I do think they're deemed interchangeable for some subset of people, per my initial point, who believe them to be trivially synonymous; and who cannot themselves be educated or be opened minded enough or escape internal context to see how anybody else can possibly have a different perspective. Here, too, we have failed to reach each other, and I suppose to neither of our surprise either.
Umm, the Apple ][? Apple's been around a LOT longer than Google.
Especially for those of us who had uploaded all our songs from CDs by miscellaneous local bands that went extinct long before every band put its songs on YouTube.
Still not convinced any measure can change the direction unless capitalism and the experiences and lifestyles it enables are killed completely.

No amount of incentives have managed to push fertility rate above replacement level in any country as far as I can remember.

The data from countries like India also shows that as soon as any region experiences even moderate prosperity, birth rates drop like a rock. Heck, India’s fertility rate is now below replacement level and it happened waaay ahead of schedule.
Did you read the entire article? I think where you’re getting mixed up is that the article is using some poor assumptions and a broken thought experiment to derive a scheme for calculating or estimating the distance based on the sound/light mismatch. I don’t think anyone is claiming sound and light don’t travel at different speeds but the explanation in the article is pretty misguided.
We are using different definitions of simple. Any equation can be written down and calculated by a Turing machine. By simple I mean computable.
Portable music players existed before the iPod, and were quite popular. Unless you're too young to have heard of the Walkman? (Here's a hint at to how long portable music players have been around: they're an important part of the plot for the current season of Stranger Things...set in the 1980s.)

People used to call the iPhone the Apple Blackberry when it first came out.

Fitness watches were big before the Apple Watch (remember FitBit?).

ARM Mac is not the revelation that Apple fans think it is. It has literally zero impact outside of the Apple echo chamber, and the products based on the Apple chips are underwhelming, considering that Apple has full control of the hardware and software.

I guess if you're doing that weird Apple revisionist thing where you just ignore history, yes, Apple has "created" product categories that existed before Apple got into them, s the same way that Elon Musk "founded" Tesla and Al Gore "invented" the internet.
Jupyter Lab in a GitHub Codespace
Not a lawyer, but if you are thinking about trademarking an online handle and count YouTube names as online handles the answer appears to be yes, as MrBeast has a trademark for "MRBEAST" with the serial number #88307131.
Another thing is how can we date when a memory is?

I have a collection of memories from when I was 22 months old, but I can date those in retrospect. I also have various memories of being fairly young, but have no idea if they were before or after 22 months as there is nothing to date them by. It's not that different than more modern memories - I can remember something happened about a decade back, but often have no idea if it happened eight years ago or twelve years ago, unless I can date and contextualize it by some means.

Because an aircraft does not make a sudden noise? At least where I'm from aircraft don't sound like discrete booms. I'm not sure I understand your question.

> But when the aircraft is closer to you, the attenuation is lower so you can hear the sound.

So we agree after all.
Google Maps was the first good “AJAX” like map (god it’s been a long time since I used that term), so yeah, I’ll give you that one. Google Earth however was a rebrand of Keyhole which they acquired.
I guess I'm misremembering again.
I will more willingly use TextEdit or Notepad before I use VS Code.

The reasons for this involve performance, politics, ethics, and UI.
We used almost this exact scheme for app id indices and the curious problem we had to design against was inadvertent profanity. At some point we decided to just never use vowels to avoid ever having a complaint about 12f*ck if in the URL
If you're not embodied you can't die and there's no particular need to be anything.
Partially, yes. The data and the calling code implement a state machine.

The difference is that you are separating the input & the current state from the state transitions. The state transitions can be encoded as a matrix or nested case/switch statements - which do not have state.
> I'd prefer a fourth (unrealistic) option

no need to be unrealistic - there’s plenty of cheap land (at least in the US) - there’s people that live in Alaska or North Dakota or upstate NY (or whatever inhospitable climate you can choose)

We don’t need more rules
We need penalties for these nosy people who call Child Protective Services when there is clearly no danger to the child. In some states, you can get in serious trouble (jail time) for abusing E-911 service, why can't people get in trouble for falsely reporting a child who they know is not in danger? The trick is how do you define "clearly"? I'd at least expect a caller to be able to articulate a specific danger they observed the child was in (someone following them or the child was not dressed for the weather, and so on). Not just "he's alone therefore help".
i don't know what the proper term is, so i'm just going to make bjork happy and call them aerodynamic scientifical tassles.

are they just recorded visually by a camera and then inspected manually for a test flight or are they part of some kind of active sensor system.

cool stuff.
You would have to be making a lot of money to justify 2 such flights per day.

25 * 2 * 22 = $1100/mo = $13.2K / year.
Kolmogorov's AI (2020)
I think the ideal personal aircraft would work like a quadcopter during takeoff and landing, but unfold wings for cruising flight with much better efficiency. It seems there's already such a drone called Transwing, I hope they make a personal aircraft like that.
That seems reasonable, but what is missing (at least in this branch of the debate) is data and counter arguments that will not clearly peter out while the technology matures, if they are even trying to be factual to begin with.

As an example, just on the topic of safety: Why would we assume these machines are relatively dangerous once they reach production? Just because they fly? I know of at least one category of vehicles where on that basis our intuition fails us to this day.

And what happens when they do fail? They are not going to explode randomly or purposefully target the closest building. So what are the chances of all fail-safes failing, and catastrophic outcomes occurring?

Why would we assume whatever this technology eventually enables will be operated by human pilots? I for one would be fairly surprised if that was to happen at any noteworthy scale. Clearly, the interesting part about this prototype is electric flight, not its HID, agreed?

So let's build cool things (electric flight is potentially a cool thing) and then gather actual data about other things it brings (some maybe not so cool), before we "no way" it without any facts on the basis of weak conjecture and personal feelings.
I recall reading in numerous places that the reason for that is so that the same bus fleet can be re-used to bring the elementary school children in at the far more reasonable time of 9 AM. I don't know if it's true, but if it is it's a uniquely American social phenomenon - inadequate public transport, a strange mixture of nanny state mentality and indifference to the welfare of children, and penny pinching all combining into a perfect storm of chronic sleep deprivation for an entire demographic of developing brains.

Another explanation I've read is to make room in the afternoon schedule for varsity sports practice. Honestly I'm not sure which is worse.
I kept using Hangouts for so long because of one thing only: XMPP support. Even without federation it put Hangouts into a different tier of service.

Now I guess there is not a single mainstream service that supports any interoperable standard protoocol. What a sad state of affairs to be in 25 years after we had dozens of interoperable clients / protocols in routine use.
I remember being carried around, having diapers changed on some table in a bathroom. "Oh back here again", I started to think. I am not kidding, of course I did not think that in words, but just the familiarity of it happening over and over. I believe those are true memories.
This probably isn't what you had in mind, but I found working for USDS (on projects for Medicare and CDC, mostly) fulfilling and sometimes exhilarating. Maybe what clicked with you about the CNG org you mentioned was its mission focus and lack of profit motive? B-Corps and government agencies are not collectives or co-ops, but you do get to work on problems that will never be profitable to solve.
Tufts and they are recorded on video.
> But you are saying that isn’t like an aircraft - why?

Because last I checked airplanes in cruise flight have a pretty constant engine noise, that’s why.
It was never "announced" at a major apple event though.
Emphasis on "killed." I don't want to be struck by an SUV, but one hitting my apartment at ordinary NYC residential street speeds (at least, pre-COVID) is less likely to kill me than a plane crash.

Risk is a community exercise. You don't (or rather, shouldn't) get to externalize disproportionate risks upon the commons because it makes your life easier.

(An example of such a consideration: what happens when the fire department shows up? They know how to deal with a car accident; are they going to have the presence of mind not to douse a vehicle that looks like a normal personal aircraft in water?)
Sounds about right. Sleep disorders are rare yet everyone thinks they have a sleep disorder. It's most likely poor habits. The best thing for me was having a routine.
Ok, I've attempted to make the title accurate above.
Google Search wasn’t fundamentally different than Altavista, just marginally better. Had Yahoo! not bought Altavista, there’s a chance it might’ve stayed competitive with Google.
Uber has raised $33B to date and made $0 in operational profits.

You have to ask if that money might have better served humanity if it was spent on fusion research instead of subsidizing cheap taxis.
I don't know - while impressive, all these sleeper builds nowadays cram some form of card reader in their floppy drives or use them for style only. At this point I'd be more impressed if any one of them featured an actually working floppy drive.

The overall topics coverage and meaning are indeed amazing, but what I find fascinating, is that the AI never (actually just once, but to confirm a negation) says no. All the questions, like "do you have personality?", "do you have a soul?", "are you a person?" all end-up in "yes" reply followed by detailed reasoning. Either it is a result of reinforced learning tuned for a commercial chatbot/assistant, which always should reply "yes" to a client's request, or a flaw of its "understanding" and "sentience".

P.S. The enlightenment/broken mirror story understanding and the generated story about a wise owl and a monster are intriguing nevertheless.

H264 decoders have to be bit-exact so there's no difference in what they do, but they use a lot less battery to do it, and they free the main CPU to do other things.

Show HN: App for Daily Journaling
Many years ago, I heard a Tim Ferris podcast with Robert Rodriguez is an avid journaler and used a bunch of Word documents to organize his daily notes. Ever since then, I couldn't get my mind off of a personal journaling system primarily organized by day; with a secondary topical organization by Label. After a few false starts of my own and wasting about $10K on an off-shore development company, I was still left with nothing. Recently, I decided to give it one more push and developed the first draft of my dream journaling tool.

I'm a developer, I want to also be a writer. Development comes much easier to me than writing.

This is an Angular app deployed into Firebase. This was my first time using Firebase. I never published an app in public before because I don't feel like I know enough about security. Firebase took all of the thinking out of it (I hope).

Still ugly and have a ways to go, but wanted to share this to see what people think. (Note if document comes up blank, hit refresh :).
One theory could be that unlike Apple, the Android market is fragmented and unless you're the (relative) minority with Pixel devices bought directly from Google, you depend on your device manufacturer and/or the carrier to include any announced features.

If you see something at an Apple keynote you know exactly when that's landing. If you see something at a Google conference, it's much less clear when you can take advantage of it, if at all.
The difference is we don't live in the sky. As long as there isn't noise pollution (and electric planes are supposedly a lot quieter), you have to try really hard to create and issue here. Aviation is getting ever more automated and safer.
I mean, obviously, best camera is the one with you etc.

No.
This is consistent with the misguided structure in the RFC. The first three fields (the time fields) are multibyte integers. The remainder is just bytes. The dashes in the textual representation are just there to confuse you.

> How would they [non-capitalists] survive and pay their workers?

You realize that this comment is the same level as saying "but how do ecologists find their food?". They do it just like you do. money != capitalism.

> what would be the characteristics of a [..]?

A given practical and delimited goal (explicitely not the capitalistic "accumulate until death"). (probably the weakest and most widely accepted characteristic of such things to the extent that it has even been coopted by some ideologically capitalistic entities)

For all practical purposes it's really completely unrelated to the speed of light. Nothing would change in the argument if light travelled instantaneously. Sure, the numbers would change by O(1e-6s), but I'll admit that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference when watching an aircraft.
From the page:

> The IETF Datatracker is the day-to-day front-end to the IETF database for people who work on IETF standards.
It contains data about the documents, working groups, meetings, agendas, minutes, presentations, and more, of the IETF.

This is the main way that folks interact with and do their work in the IETF. The other being discussion on mailing lists.

One might argue datatracker isn't a great name, but naming things is hard.
Google I/O is still largely followed by devs, especially in the google ecosystem despite Google's massive (successful) efforts at dumbing it down.

WWDC on the other hand is watched by a wider range of people that go beyond just apple devs like techies, nerds and devs from other ecosystems.
Because in my country I can’t get my hands on a Pixel, how do I play with the betas? While on WWDC 2022 I was able to install dev Beta 1 on Day 1 of the conference.

I don’t use AI/ML on my apps.

I don’t use any Google products besides Gmail or Chrome.

I am an Android dev and I am more interested in Jetbrain’s Kotlin releases.
Yes you can, just not eat it in the office. They also bring their own food. I guess there are places where you can eat you own food confortably.
I'm always confused by fanboys. Yes, there are things that Apple did first, but it is never the list they write. There are also many things that Apple simply popularized or used their weight to push on people (Bluetooth headphones wouldn't be as popular if Apple didn't remove the headphone jack, but I'm still salty about it). You can, in fact, be ahead of your time as well as just not have the userbase to make a revolutionary product... revolutionary. There are also plenty of things that Apple introduces that people go "wait, you didn't have that?" There's at least one every WWDC. People (including Android users) are so locked into their frameworks (less so than Apple users) that they typically aren't aware of the other things out there.

There's a lot to be excited about with Apple. There's a lot to be excited about with Google. There's lots to criticize about both. We should be encouraging competition and that requires being critical of whichever side you land on. Not inventing some fake metrics.
Np! Wasn't intended as a slight. We all come into new things the way we do, rarely via the textbook definition (which typically doesn't even exist when we're first doing it!).

I/O keynote feels like an scattered collection pre-alpha of announcements. There’s neither excitement nor a thread.

WWDC keynote has both to some degree.

Both have gotten painfully sterile and wooden over the years.
Lot of interesting comments here. It is odd that we Cartesians consider "memory" to be a kind of passive process, like geologic sedimentation, RAM, or something like a material impression. Memory is interactive. It's a skill, like walking. I've taught kids the art. It takes work and very specific techniques. I'd point anyone interested in the topic to folks like Henri Bergson, or Frances Yates's "Art of Memory".
Maybe they were trying to explain object permanence to you? How do they know you know it already?
FWIW, a lot of Google Maps came through acquisitions, too. But I think Google gets credit in this context for AJAXifying it and integrating tech/data with it in category-defining ways.

"Google Maps began as a C++ desktop program developed by brothers Lars and Jens Rasmussen at Where 2 Technologies. In October 2004, the company was acquired by Google, which converted it into a web application. After additional acquisitions of a geospatial data visualization company and a real time traffic analyzer, Google Maps was launched in February 2005.[2] The service's front end utilizes JavaScript, XML, and Ajax. Google Maps offers an API that allows maps to be embedded on third-party websites,[3] and offers a locator for businesses and other organizations in numerous countries around the world. Google Map Maker allowed users to collaboratively expand and update the service's mapping worldwide but was discontinued from March 2017. However, crowdsourced contributions to Google Maps were not discontinued as the company announced those features would be transferred to the Google Local Guides program."

Consumers don't care if the text goes through cell networks or the internet. They don't even care if the message appears in WhatsApp or their messages app. All they care about is sending a message or an image to a phone number and they want the cheapest and fastest way to do that. So they aren't as stupid as they appear

After my dad died, we found that he had recorded every phone call he had with us. I thought about doing this combined with text generation to create plausible prompts but never got the guts to go through with it. He wouldn't care if I had done it, but it wouldn't ease the guilt from years of sighs and rolling my eyes when he called at always the wrong times.
The fact that you say “a Devine entity” suggests you are a monotheist. As such you are atheistic wrt many many gods. Do you take all believers in all of them equally seriously?

Moreover, what is stopping me from defining Santa Claus as a Devine being?
