I was using USB mice in the late 90s on Linux when all we had was USB 1.x era mice and they were complete garbage, but so were the PS/2 mice, so I decided to live in the future.

So, uh, what? When was there a time that USB mice didn't work, unless it was semi-intentional misconfiguration of X (which makes your criticism one of pre-modern X, not of Linux; and of which, you'd be preaching to the choir)?

I don't see where I wrote this at all? If you're arguing for passion, great, but I guess I would at least try not to simultaneously make a counterpoint for the clinical-side benefits of some good ol' accuracy...
I think it's much better than Civil Asset Forfeiture. Civil Asset Forfeiture regularly ends up confiscating money that the owner can readily prove they have via legitimate means. This won't happen here. It's only if you can't come up with a good reason that your money will be confiscated (and that process is happening through a court not just with a random police officer).
The article mentions the ability to take pictures with blurry backgrounds (aka bokeh).. fwiw, that feature exists on the SE 2nd generation.

To join in the old-man-fist-shaking, the SE 1st generation was a far better size. You can use the SE 2nd generation with one hand, yes, but in practice it involves frequently double-light-tapping the omni-button to slide the screen down halfway. (Or, maybe, I just have small hands, IDK).

I haven't used it either but it certainly sounds like it's open to anyone to use. As @chc mentions, it reads like you use a Worker to control access.

> Anyone know why this is? Why a person uttering a line must be part of a guild? Is this a U.S. thing, or international?

Because the guild has an agreement with the studio that only guild members can have speaking roles.

Joining the guild is pretty straight-forward. It's a lot less work than the typical whiteboard interview.
> Sure, but that still leaves open the possibility that the brain is just a transceiver and the actual locus of your self is somewhere else

I never thought of that but I don't know. This sounds like you're remote controlling yourself from a different location or plane of existence? I think I default to Occam's razor here in that we evolved into a meat bag with a surface level understanding that we can talk ourselves into thinking we exist. Basically we know just enough to be dangerous.

> Are you sure? Or is this just a reflection of your prejudices? How could you tell?

Is this not the same for you? Unless I purposely project it in a different location internal dialogs are visualized or felt as coming from behind your eyes, or more generally in your head region. I feel like this has been a thing for as long as I can remember. No one taught us how to do this, we just do it.
13 Mini lover here. I find the small screen an advantage, because it makes me less likely to look at web pages on it. I'm actively trying to use my phone less, while not pretending that living modern life without a phone is essentially impossible.

When I do succumb to my own weakness and look at something on the tiny screen, I often think, meh, this isn't great, just do something else!
I’ve flagged your comment because it’s essentially inviting a flame war, on top of being utterly irrelevant to the topic.

10 seconds on Wikipedia would have answered your question by the way. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_mother_sauces

The reason is that “sauce” is feminine in French. Une sauce. C’est tout.

You want to talk about pointlessly gendered, as a French native I agree that the French language, as most other Romance languages, Slavic languages and several Germanic ones, are all pointlessly gendered. I am envious of English natives that don’t have to deal with knowing that a chair is feminine but a stool is masculine, a bank is feminine but a shop is masculine. Or that a book is masculine in French but feminine in Russian, and it’s the other way around for the unknown gender of a domesticated animal!!!

Still I would invite you to learn more languages.

There are already voluntary (but expected) commitments from cabinet members not to engage in lobbying for five years (I think, may be more) after leaving office. I would make these commitments rules and extend them to all legislators, while in exchange adding a nice yearly stipend in the years immediately after office and dramatically increasing legislator pay during their one term (>$1M/yr).

There's only 535 of these roles and as their employer (a voter), I'd much rather have them directly over-compensated by us voters than indirectly compensated by special interests. I think it's fair (and a good deal for voters) to basically buy an "exclusivity" agreement from our elected representatives by paying them openly to contractually commit to not monetize their influence or relationships after leaving office.
There is a bit of a bias to this.

Higher salaries will get disclosed more, because if I get an offer below my current salary, then I can disclose and at the very least get a match or refuse the offer. At a lower salary, there is a higher probability that the offer is higher, and my current salary does not matter.

I believe that people more rarely accept a downgrade in salary, so the probably of acceptance is also conditioned on the current salary. What this means is that the effect is biased and probably non-linear, but I wouldn't qualify it as non effect.

It's political bias to notice that people behave politically?

As an engineer, your $150k is pretty much guaranteed. In sales, though, it's entirely possible to spend several years wheedling the large client that would get you the $600k payday... and the day before the board is supposed to sign off on the deal, their CEO changes and the new guy puts everything on ice. This happens a lot, and it's brutal.
Whoa, you read the article too?
Wait to know more: it could be a criminal entreprise comingling honest and dishonest people's assets without clear record of who's who and as a result forces law enforcement to seize all as a compromise.

Society has to compromise: we cannot monitor all or monitor nothing, so we delegate maybe imperfectly to a subset of people vetted a bit more rigorously to breach expectations sometimes for a reasonable greater good.

If they hid the raid to cover up a screwup, we'll have to sue. If they hid the raid to find more criminals, we'll have to accept it.

While this is true, I don't want humanity to simply give up and stay on 1080p forever. If anything, this issue arose precisely because people were too comfortable with the "one true screen res to rule them all" instead of properly scaling.

And it was most frustrating to get phone and tablet screens MUCH better than a laptop or computer monitor!

At this stage I think a 27" 4K screen is ideal. Use highres when you can - particularly for reading text with a High DPI-aware app - and use 1080p for the legacy-rendering stuff or games.

Of course, laptop 4k screens are harder to find.
I’ll have to give up on my original SE as it won’t support iOS 16. But it’s the best phone I ever had. The others look comically large. And Touch ID is awesome.
For example: I froze the ground meat after purchasing. It has been sitting in my freezer for 3 months. Meanwhile, I bought some fresh ground beef 2 weeks ago, but it's been sitting in my fridge and doesn't smell great.
In the exact same boat. Love retool and using it a lot for interfaces we want to whip up quickly, but the performance is terrible. We're just copping it at the moment since we don't have the time to invest in any other options!
Another question I'm curious about: is the Kalman filter ever not an LPF (e.g. HPF or BPF)?
He's not just funding "conservative causes" he's funding people who are contesting the previous election. He's giving money to people that believe the current government is fraudulent, so yes, that is a threat to our current democratic system.

And yes, billionaires who donate to "the left" are a problem as well. Any time enormous amounts of wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a few people, it can't help but go against democratic ideals. You used the term "progressive" but both of the main US political parties have been bought out by wealthy interests, and I'd hardly call either "progressive".
The problem with the new SE is that it comes on the heels of the old SE. My first smartphone was a 2nd gen SE that I bought around July 2020. I plan on keeping it as long as I kept my previous dumbphones: 4-6 years (i.e. however long the battery lasts). If they keep releasing SE's at the current pace, my next phone will be a 4th or 5th generation SE. There is literally no feature they could add that would entice me to replace it before then.

I'll allow that battery life might sway me to pull the trigger after 3-4 years, but barring that my phone more than meets my needs as-is.

as an outsider learning more about protein folding, could you elaborate on the assertion that the sequence is (mostly) all you need (transformer/ML reference intended).

doesn't this assume the final fold is static and invariant of environmental and protein interactions?

put another way, how do we know that a protein does not fold differently under different environmental conditions or with different molecular interactions?

i realize this is a long-held assumption, but after studying scientific research for the past year, i realize many long-held assumptions aren't supported by convincing evidence.

If we're discussing how one country treats another, let's look at how Russia is treating Ukraine.

When I compare that to the the US's invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan for example, I see fundamental differences.

Regardless of whether one believes they were justifiable, the nature of the invasions and occupation are quite different compared to Russia's current invasion of Ukraine.

Some of these include

- the intentional and systematic targeting of civilian cities and other public places

- war crimes including rape, murder, running over civilians with tanks.

- the invading military's efforts (or lack thereof) to better the occupied countries' people and government through setting up medical, education, construction and other programs to benefit the society.

I'm sure the US has committed 1 and 2, but I would assert that the scale and quality is quite different from what Russia is doing now in Ukraine. And in many of the cases, US military courts held perpetrators of crimes accountable.

Again, I'm not arguing for the justification of the invasions. I'm saying the difference in the invasions and subsequent occupations point to fundamental differences between western democracies and communist/socialist countries.

> they'll be better off in regards for life standard.

Life standard usually means economic standard. I agree many people want to come to the US for that. I'd also say that is not the only reason. Some of things I listed above (e.g. freedom of speech, free society) are strong motivators.

P.S. And I'm not trying to make this personal by picking on the country you're from. I'm from a country that has committed great atrocities and crimes against humanity as well. Again, GP likened the US to Russia and that is what I'm responding to.
Not GP, but I also still run a 6S(+). I recently replaced the battery using an iFixIt kit, which fixed my main complaint with it.

It still runs dog-slow, especially on modern websites, which is both bad and good in that if I keep the Reddit app uninstalled and use New Reddit, the memory leaks crashing my Safari tab is a good indication to stop using it :-) Unfortunately HN doesn't have such a feature...

I didn't hear about the iOS 16 dropping support rumors until now :-(. But apparently the security updates will keep coming for a few years. I guess once apps start dropping support for iOS 15, I'll have to switch.
> Note: my file manager even identifies the mime type without extension. That is how it should be

No, probing around the file content with a gazillion format-specific heuristics/hacks is not how it should be.

This is a security problem because it makes the probing code a giant attack surface, and there have been CVEs related to precisely that.

The file type should be determined from metadata only (simple, regular and without format-specific idiosyncrasies). Whether that metadata should be a suffix on the filename that's easy to mess up inadvertently is debatable, but Windows has the right idea here.
Even on the latest model Pixel phones Google still refuses to commit to more than 3 years of Android updates... They have at least lengthened the security update timeline to a whole 5 years.

A decade ago, in an act of extreme futility, I wrote a book about HTML5. I did the mailing list archaeological dig to discover the logic behind these and other new (at the time) elements. There really wasn’t any. The spec editor just made them up on a whim with very eccentric definitions. I found that very frustrating as I saw it as inflicting a whole array of meaningless choices on front end folks for years to come. A decade later, and folks are still earnestly trying to divine the wisdom of the spec. No need — there isn’t any. There’s no there there. I don’t blame the author for trying, but I do blame the spec author for a very silly rabbit hole that people are still falling down to this day.
> I shouldn't be required to receive their text messages on my private property (my phone).

A lot of people agree with you but that’s not typically how it works IRL for USPS either. Generally if you keep trying to deny delivery of junk mail your letter carrier will tell you “you can’t just refuse mail”.

Although I think maybe you are supposed to be able to refuse it, just doesn’t work IRL? People are also supposed to be able to send the mail regardless.

I do think it’s a cost issue. Should cost the standard $0.60 stamp per each bulk mailer (bulk mailers are much cheaper.

Text messages and emails should also cost something reasonable which would dissuade abuse. Perhaps “accepting” a text (or at least not rejecting it) would waive/reimburse that fee so “good” texts could be free? Seems easy for this to be abused though by the body public when temporarily enraged against a corporation/small business.

My understanding is that similar benefits of access to meat were gained from learning to cook in general, as well. While meat likely contributed to humans being able to advance as a civilization and perhaps conferred various physiological benefits, the skill of cooking in general allowed us to extract more nutrition from a lot of foods we'd otherwise spend a lot more time chewing and digesting.

Getting nutrition from food faster, with less energy, is a huge deal. Whether it's meat or not, being able to feed young children easily digested, high-calorie food is a huge advantage. Being able to feed anyone is a huge advantage, but in particular weening children earlier would have freed up mothers to reproduce more and/or do other work. Humans becoming more independent earlier is a major factor in humans being more productive in many of these studies.

I haven't read about this for a few years, but as I recall it doesn't seem that the protein/fat components of this development were the essential factor for moving people forward. We're able to get plenty of calories and nutrition (including protein) from plants, but only if we cook it. Meat certainly helps, but isn't required in the equation.

I'm opened to being corrected – like I say, I'm probably out of date here. I'm not sure what evidence could have changed this, though.

> Is this bad for a developer? Does that stress colleagues often? No catch, just asking.

I dunno if it's bad for you, but it's often better for the business to use fewer tools that are good enough than to use more tools that are perfect. There are often people that need to go between tasks for various reasons, and when tasks share tools, it can be easier to understand what's going on.

For colleagues, a team member that's always trying to pull in new tools is causing stress because someone needs to redirect them towards using something already there.
Also thinking about channel sounding. MIMO usually has a method of measuring the channel response with known data (or a known property of the data, such as a modulation type), then the channel is either assumed to be stationary whist the unknown data is sent, or a model is used to extrapolate the channel response.

I wonder if the star around which the exoplanet orbits can be used to sound the channel? The light from the star would contain information in the form of its spectra. Maybe this can be used to get the channel response? Perhaps the spectra can be treated as a form of modulation?

The NBER hasn't changed the definition of a recession for a long time, and it's never been two consecutive down quarters.

It's just that, of the time periods since the mid-19th century for which the NBER has determined recessions, the two consecutive down quarters rule of thumb has had no (previous) false positives since 1947.
Yeah, what's the big thing that people feature? Beef.

Wagyu, wellington, organic grass fed, etc. Aside from knowing how to stew it and sear it, there's not really much to it, yet people will create video after video of $150 tomahawks and $200 wagyu ribeyes.
