It takes a few minutes once, it takes a few minutes another time, ... and now you have an exec who is like Pavlov's dog got used to prompt completion of his/her caprices. That isn't a way to a happy life for you (well, until you a one of those who thrive in execs' attention). Instead you wait until second or third reminder (if it is important the exec would remind, if not - then there wasn't a reason to bother to start with, and given the ferret like attention span of a typical exec...), you similarly wait for reminders another time, ... and now you have an exec frustrated by such an impedance mismatch and who as a result would move their attention to somebody else to promptly care for his/her caprices :)

No shit. That’s the point. I can draw a correlation between basically anything. That doesn’t make it interesting.
I don't really care about icons and I don't use contacts. What would be nice though is to be able to customize things like putting those stars on all unread email instead of just "new" email, whatever that is. The read/unread tiny dot is hard to see especially for the current highlighted message. I've used tbird forever and it is otherwise awesome. Thanks.
To your last point, the Macbook Pro on Apple's website, directly markets being able to encode and decode both 4K ProRes and 8k ProRes video and do it quicker than before. It also sites video editing and transcoding in its comparisons to Intel chips for performance.

So taking Apple's marketing literally, it seems exporting 8K footage would be a main expected use-case.

It's just the classic situation Apple continuously puts itself in with building a laptop that is starved for airflow.
There were even led accessories you can attach to your phone that will light up when the phone is transmitting a signal. Basically just some leds attached to some coils to harvest energy transmitted by the phone.
I don't understand how anyone could leave the job half-finished and compromise in this way: in these scenarios, almost all the legwork is done to also build a compiler, for those times when the interpreted code runs just right and is ready for production. Why are such interpreters never finished into a compiler?
many many years ago i saw a nat geo "fighting documentary" where the guest (special forces something, ) had a eye tracker and a random person walk through a test course.
what they showed was the "special guest" was actively looking and investigating threats, checking surroundings and assessing everything. the random person was just "walking" without actually "looking" or "concentrating" on anything, .

"guest" was doing "this is a car, ok, next, this looks like a guy, wait what is in his hand,... is that an alleyway? no light, could someone be hiding in the shadow"

the random person's vision was like "lalalalaala.... end of test, what did i miss?"

That was a quite a big thing for me. i always "look" at things now, when i am walking, driving, something. it definitely gets tiring after a while because of the sensory overload.
Now, i cannot imagine what AR would do to that vision, would it be helpful, less helpful? i am not sure but it will be something to consider.
There's no way to reduce CO2 emissions without making it more expensive to emit CO2. The current green policy is to fire off a blunderbuss at random at the fossil fuel industry, like trying to choke off bank loans to it, and blocking permits for natural gas.

These silly things are both expensive and actually increase CO2 emissions by making it cheaper to burn filthy coal.
Brand is not a guarantee for anything today. Product series are traded between companies, or whole companies are being sold/bought. Company A buys B and switches B's products to their own brand while continuing with B's quality, or continues with B's brand while selling traditionally A's products or degrading/improving B's to their own interpretation of quality...
And despite all the mess they are selling well.

Alternatively, you could try to hide the fact that something was created by an AI, and probably get away with it, but that isn't relevant to the legal question of whether something can be copyrighted when it is known to be created by an AI.
A 401k has a very high chance of returning to growth, as and when the market recovers (which it will at some point, although no one knows when of course, but it will eventually). The same being true for meta is much less certain.
This all will happen if the cost of burning carbon increases. Your proposals will all be much more expensive and less effective.

For example, taxing CO2 will immediately spur transitioning coal to natural gas, which emits half the CO2 per joule.

It will also make geothermal home heating systems much more attractive.
Sure, but is it documented anywhere? Most free American students, mostly conservative, would stand for their rights, even with "inherent" power imbalances.
I was very disappointed by the first example I clicked on. They explained Pascal's Wager, but presume one possible religion that may or may not be true. They then get quite evasive in comments when asked about this, eventually saying they only intended their argument to be persuasive to people who believe something like "70% chance no god, 30% chance there's a specific God from a specific religion". Sure, but that's boring. I also suspect they're wrong that that's how a significant number of atheist-leaning people think.
> and there's absolutely nothing that can be done to stop them

Congress could pass laws saying that the EPA can regulate greenhouse gas emissions, that states cannot forbid abortions, etc.

If you think that these rulings are not plausible interpretations of the law, Congress can even define the size of the court[0]. They could pack the court with judges who will interpret the law in their favor.

It is my understanding that the Democratic Party that holds the majority in both chambers claims to be in favor of these policies, so why aren't they taking action?

Somehow most people in the western world can't remember that all the biggest mass murders and other crimes against humanity were all done by the state.

It's so important to keep fighting to limit the power of the government. If you're in the US: what today will be used to track vaccination status, tomorrow will be used to track abortions. Or the other way around. Doesn't matter what are your political views - the government is not your friend. It's a necessary evil at best, and like any organization - you can't trust it, because it's not an individual. Today it is doing what you like, but tomorrow it might turn against you.

Digital IDs will be sold as a convenience and such, but before you know it they will be used as a tool of oppression.
Yeah, nah. Even when you put a self-driving race car on a closed track with no other cars, a human driver still beats its time by a handsome margin. In challenging conditions (visibility/rain/ice/etc) the human will absolutely crush the computer.

I'm extremely confident that self-driving cars will never make a significant improvement on car safety.

I'm also confident that it will never be applicable to anything but highway driving in good weather conditions - we will never see a Level 5 car, those designations have about as much practical relevance to us as the Kardashev scale.

First of all, the safety statistics that we have with modern cars today is such that you need to run 10 million cars for several years before you have gathered enough statistics to say whether a new development has actually improved the situation. For instance if you take the Volvo XC90, there has not been a single fatal accident in the US or UK since the model was launched in 2002, with over 1 million such cars sold in those markets combined. That kind of lag in your dev cycle means it's extremely hard to do any sort of meaningful development of a machine learning system in a way that demonstrably improves safety.

Second of all, human factors such as being distracted by a cell phone or being intoxicated, plus not wearing a seat belt, accounts for the overwhelming majority of fatal accidents. It is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, much easier to build a system that detects such conditions and then deliberately slows down or stops the car. It's already being deployed today and will only increase in the future, so most of the potential safety improvement from self-driving will be eaten up by other tech.
It's only a rabbit hole if you want it to be one.

Vim only has that reputation of needing a lot of config because too many newbies want to skip the learning phase and just jump in between two JIRA tickets. Of course you will need a lot of plugins and pre-baked stuff and hand-holding in that case!

The more sensible path is to learn Vim properly, and configure it as you go. It means that there's never a "take the week-end to configure Vim for React" moment: it's one line here, two lines there and it never really stops because you work with new languages and libs, etc.

As far as plugins. I can use Vim just fine without plugins or without my config but half of the plugins I use are written by me and tailored around my own needs so I guess those are the ones I need the most for my daily use.
I think the keyword there is “some”. Extreme edge cases matter in things like mathematics, but they rarely make a compelling argument for fringe socioeconomic policies or viewpoints or enumerating human rights.

For my own sentiment, referenced as hand wavy, it is not that hard to let people do what they want with their own life as long as it does not hurt or infringe upon others’ rights. Is that really that difficult of a rubric to follow?

For the original question, I already answered that explicitly.
There are a lot of scenarios where you're rarely contended but you cannot rule it out, so for correctness reasons you should use mutual exclusion but your measured performance in the real world essentially never cares about the contended case.

Modern fast mutexes are perfect for that, because their uncontended case is so good. This also inculcates the correct choice for the programmer, you should prefer to write code that is less often contended, not fight hard to get better contended performance at a cost of worse uncontended performance. Contention is bad even if your mutual exclusion primitive performs well.

But Mara measured across simulated workloads with varying contention and this fix improves them all to different extents.

If you read the OP, the Logitech devices also ruin the sound for Sony headphones. They're likely creating a large amount of interference, beyond what headphones can accept while still delivering acceptable audio quality.

I mean, not all of the Internet is accessed through a browser but if Chrome and Firefox don't support DIDs, even if Safari would, who would use DIDs in a context exposed to browsers?
On the bright side, the Facebook recruiters have stopped bugging me.
A lot of comments here seem to miss the detail in the OP that this doesn't only affect Apple AirPods, but also Sony headphones (and likely others). Which is understandable considering that the submitted post title singles out AirPods for improved clicks/karma.
You can be sure that Microsoft has no deliberate backdoors in it's products. However the 3-letter agencies have enough zero-day's in their pipeline...probably even more for linux then windows nowadays's.
My friends and I are all around age 27 to 31 and while most of us still have this behavior, we do talk about it a lot and definitely think of it as a bad thing. For a while, we had a craze about Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, but I guess it didn't stick.

I do realize though that I live in a bubble and that most people our age probably consider it very normal.

Incredibly stupid on the face of it. Considering a good many talented engineers suffer with imposter syndrome and perhaps self-esteem issues (the past two years has not been easy on many of us), this will not only have your poor performers flying out the door, but a lot of your engineering talent as well (who a lot of companies will make a 'hiring exception' for).

Any sort of doom casting / or "rally or else" action from a CEO is never going to play out well. You will just spook folks at all levels of performance and degrade morale.

You've nailed the dirty little secret of the AV industry. Everyone's safety model is underpinned by the ridiculous assumption that a human will be (a) reachable with very high reliability over shitty cellular networks; (b) able to correctly interpret complex situations with extremely limited information; (c) able to resolve safety-critical situations by making planner adjustments, without direct control over steering and acceleration.

Check out the concept of Harberger taxation: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z2fu9D3Yrsh5zKQdLsuikBibBeoS...

> Harberger taxation introduces a scheme in which the owner of a good pays a continuous tax based on the self-assessed value of that good, and at any time, someone else can buy the good from the owner at the taxed price.

> The rate of the tax moderates the balance between “allocative efficiency” (i.e. buyers can purchase a good when they value it more than a seller) and “investment efficiency” (i.e. increases in values to both buyer and seller are captured by seller).

I wouldn't be livid in that situation, but I would consider criminal charges against Tesla in my jurisdiction.

After all, the dealer is only on the hook for civil claims, Tesla is on the hook for very obvious criminal claims.

What would you consider an objective metric?

Dead reckoning works surprisingly well at least in Teslas, of which the precision can be seen when they move around in underground facilities and finally resurface: the car pops up pretty close to the entry point.

In any case, aren't all self-driving vehicles equipped with lidars and work in pre-mapped regions? I would 100% expect they are able to just use those maps with lidar to precisely geolocate themselves, probably more precisely than with GPS. And, indeed, GPS itself can at times be inaccurate or simply not available due to obstructions.

So what I'm saying, maybe it's wasn't the GPS.

> I recall French colleagues pronouncing a lot of stuff that commonly starts with ch- (chroot, chmod, chown etc) with a sh- sound.

Some other annoying pronunciations I sometimes hear are "yoom" and "pooty" for Yum and Putty. Yet for some reason they get GRUB right, I haven't figured out why.

English isn't a phonetically consistent language (ex, "u" sounds different in "put" and "dug") so I guess it can be confusing to some when needing to pronounce a new product name.
It is scary because the gut microbiome in humans is evolving much faster in recent times. This is coming from a study that maps evolution of gut microbiome in primates to the primate evolutionary tree. They found that families of gut bacteria can be passed down over millions of years in a species. The gut microbiome has always coevolved with the species. As the species diverges, so does the microbiome adapting to the changes in the host. Except in modern humans, where it is evolving at a much faster rate since industrialization. It's a very interesting observation in my opinion and asks important questions about how the modern lifestyle is affecting the biome. For instance, what happens if a pregnant mother takes antibiotics? Will a family of bacteria get killed off in that mother's evolutionary branch?

The article is most certainly popsci and written for laymen, but I don't think it is trash at all. Not sure why you think so. It highlights some very interesting discoveries and offers you a window to dive in and learn more things on the subject if you are interested.

Steve Jobs was famously known to be involved in even more micro product details than that.
Being an early adopter, this is how I "discovered" a few products (step by step)

1. HN or Reddit front page.

2. When I left a comment, no matter how stupid it was OP respnded positively.

3. I looked them up and followed on Twitter.

4. From time to time I will ask them more stupid things (aka advanced feature requests on beta products). Yet, they are consistently kind to me.

5. Because they are good people, I will plug their products whenever I can.

---

On point 1.

Understand the culture of where you are posting. I saw in a twitter thread where the founder spent several months building a product, even wrote their own programming language for it but when they posted on HN it barely got any votes. Then another HN user just posted the language aspect of the product and it made it to the FP. There is some definite patterns of success in places like HN and reddit.

Making it to FP isn't enough you have to have a discussion surrounding it.
