> The educational system and employers have a responsibility to be engaging and enriching if they want interest and passion back from their students/employees.

I disagree. A business isn't a summer camp or a YMCA, and while schools should obviously help a student to find their own way, it also exists to instruct without the teacher being required to act like a tik tok influencer in front of a class of 30+ students.

What with the constant infantilization of employees or students in US? My boss or my teacher aren't there to entertain me like I'm in a daycare.
Agreed. A big problem in the UK. People retire too early for their life expectancy today so massive pressur eon Pension pots, lots of pressure on Nursing Homes, particularly those provided by the state that will cost more, in some circumstances, than the guest has paid in taxes in their entire life. Also, lots of issues with beds in hospitals that are full of the elderly with all kinds of old-age medical issues but who might not be dischargeable until there is some kind of assisted care available.

I can't see there is any obvious solution other than raising retirement age and even having our National Insurance system more like real Insurance where the costs reflect the risks so that Joe Public realise how much healthcare actually costs.
Some (most?) of the black midi scores do cheat a bit. They have bajillions of notes but most of the notes are not audible. Their presence gives cool visual effects (either static if you decide to print it out as classic music notation or dynamic when an app plays the tune) and that's it.

Edit: they typically still have enough audible notes to make it sound like a dozen clones of Chopin played together.

A good question. May I invite you to connect with one of our newly established website, which connects Tech talent with Japanese employers and also Japanese speaking bilingual in other countries around the world. Please have a look at our website: https://www.employmentjapan.com.

As our Japan side business is mainly for tech companies, we would love to post researches and will be happy to explore any opportunities for collaboration.

If you think that it might be interesting for you, please get in touch.
This is false. The pro se legal system exists and even filing a federal claim for approx $400 is cheaper than most arbitration agreements. When I explored arbitration, the costs alone to file were around $2500. Companies have a lot of control of arbitration providers as well.
I wonder if you could fingerprint hand movements. Then you wouldn't even have to strategically place your thumb.

"Blockchain" is more of a punchline now than an actual serious word used in technology.
> they can't write loans against it

You can apply leverage to almost any business model.

E.g. seems to be some overlap with the pawn broker lending business here in my view.

Here in the UK lots of moderately wealthy but illiquid individuals keep their illiquid collectables (art, wine, cars, jewelry) with upmarket pawn brokers, who store their stuff securely and provide them with a healthy loan to value. Most of them pay the loans back, and many of them do this continuously.

Otherwise I agree on the labour intensive, hard cost part.
I always remembered the original saying is that human will consider things "animated" when it's above threshold (24fps or whatever).

Telling 24, 30, 60 apart is very trivial.

As for 120fps, you need to keep in mind that playing a real-time rendered computer game is a totally different beast than playing back a steady video. There are lots of other factors involved. Some headroom in FPS makes lots of difference due to various other things like jittering (judder?), input delays, response time etc. (also it's possible some people simply can tell 60/120 apart, even by just watching a video.)
There is no way to filter out these “shorts”. I unsubscribed from half of channels because they produce shorts every day or even more often, spamming “•‎” feature next to a channel name.

I don’t understand this. If I don’t want something I will not watch it, neither on youtube nor on tiktok. Race as much as you want, but why pushing format to a user? This is so stupid. We have a huge deal of content in exchange for our data, but we cannot sort, filter, tune feeds, create subprofiles/moods, nothing. Few guys decide what’s good for everyone, and everyone is the same all the time in their eyes. Make a separate section at least.
Opening up immigration for young people abroad to aging countries would also rebalance the age distribution.

Uk seems to be going backwards on that front.
Modern social media leaves a very big gap - that was filled by old Facebook, or to some extent MySpace: The "people directory" where basically everybody has a page, and you can see what friends are doing, or look up acquaintances and strangers. For me, social media feeds were never addicting, but more tedious. I found visiting friends pages and sometimes finding an update, sometimes not, like a slot machine, more addicting. And there was a whole culture around what it meant if you saw somebody (a crush?) visiting your profile, sending a "poke", or commenting on a picture.

I think it would be hard to start something like this again, because people are afraid of data collection now in a way they weren't in 2006. And this narrative that big companies are sucking up data and ruining society was pushed by "old" media in a struggle to remain relevant, and I believe it was also not inconvinient for FB as they moved from home pages and Farmville to newsfeeds and now videos (which probably earns them more).

Maybe a Mastodon-derivative which deemphasizes the feed, but lets you design your personal page more creatively would be a cool thing.
If I am not mistaken (no doubt someone will correct me if I am) some models of the EeePC were not vulnerable to Spectre/Meltdown. At least, I remember checking on the one I have and seeing that it was not vulnerable. A truly slow, low power CPU. I loved the VGA textmode on the EeePC. It looked great.

Alas, the battery died some years ago and lately it will not even power on when plugged in. The blue lights and the red one come on when I press the power button but only briefly then turn off. The red link will blink while plugged in. I would like to salvage the HDD. What are the chances I can remove the HDD and retrieve the data. It is not a 701 but a later model 1015px from circa 2012. The keyboard is in mint condition as I never used it. I only used a USB keyboard.

IMHO, today's Chromebooks pale in comparison. Fewer USB ports and no Ethernet.
Genuine question.
Why bother downvoting, and not just move along?
Perhaps there should be a button for 'disagree strongly'.
At least on Twitter you can still switch to chronological feed (though default settings do probably influence people's behavior in general).

As a "DevOps Engineer" I strongly agree we need to stop using the term, at least as a job title. Where I work, I help automate our infrastructure management and develop tools that make it easier for product engineers to do DevOps, such as making monitoring solutions easier, injecting deployment credentials into CI/CD pipelines, abstracting certain common but complex architectures, etc...

But at least half of the recruitors who contact me clearly expect me to be a glorified sysadmin who codes maybe one day a month. It's bad enough that I changed my job title on LinkedIn to "Software Engineer (DevOps)" which seems to have helped a little bit.

According to the roadmap:

- Go, Rust, Ruby, Java, and .NET are planned

Looks like it hasn't been updated now that Rust is out. But seems like those are the languages planned.

I got myself a 1000HE (2 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD) in 2009, installed Ubuntu (was it Jaunty?) on it, and loved it. I got the slightly heavier one, with a 6-cell battery with uptime touted as 9.5hrs; in reality it was more like 6-7 hours, but still great for the day. I used it as my main machine up until 2014. Did a lot of Clojure hacking on it. It even got me a job at one point.

It was rugged, too! Carried it around with myself everywhere. At one point I dropped it from ~1 metre (my backpack slid off the arm), and some plastic was chipped off the case with the hit, but the little thingy continued to work. It eventually developed a line of green-dead pixels on the screens, but was still usable.

In 2019, I wasn’t using it anymore, so I gave it away to someone who needed to complete their M.A. thesis while travelling on a budget. I loved that ten years in, the little thingy was still useful.

Looks like I have a separate heart for tiny computers. Now I have a GPD Micro PC, which reminds me of the 1000HE in many ways.
Windows has me waiting for un-sleep and wifi reconnect, even if just a few seconds. On my M1 I see it’s open and connected while I open the lid, it’s quite a bit faster.

Surely you’re referring to the black page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Page I was surprised the Wikipedia page didn’t link to it but perhaps Zappa wasn’t big in Japan. It is a historically significant work for its “statistical density” to quote Zappa speaking about the piece.
Things would have to get really bad for enough people before another revolution is the most logical answer. I don't know why you think owning a gun means wanting to use it. Someone who isn't a sociopath would look for every reason not to.
I don’t see how raising the retirement age would solve anything (except making the early retirement deduction higher, if that’s a thing where you are). Just because people live longer doesn’t mean they’re fit to work longer. Or could even find work in the first place.
> America (and by extension the West) is guilty of all that

Let me stop you, right there. No, we're not.

This is what happens when you're Chinese and you try to run for local elections as an independent not endorsed by the Communist party:

In America and by extension the West, there is nothing comparable to this going on.

There is absolutely no moral equivalency between the brutal dictatorship of China and Western plural democracy, even at its ugliest.
The page does link to it?
Ahhh yes, I hated this. My phone kept saying is wasn't fully set up because I hadn't set up Apple Pay but at the time my bank didn't even support it.

I think I might have ADHD and I like to minimise any visual distraction by removing everything I can, else it becomes overwhelming for me, just seeing that badge marker when going through something was enough to annoy me.

I really wish there was more customisation so you could turn all that crap off that you didn't need / use so it wasn't even through, there is just too much junk on these devices but it's there to serve Apple and not you as a user.
In my neck of the woods of Europe, you're not supposed to go running without a shirt - and people will let you know.
My naive understanding is that some of it is because if you follow an object on the screen with your eyes, it gets motion blurred on your retina as it stays still for ~1/30 s on the screen while your eyeball moves.

It is possible to improve on this without increasing the framerate with strobing the backlight/black frame insertion.
At least with Linux drivers, if your new device has a similar model in the kernel already, then copying that code + making adjustments for your own purpose works.

Or even tweaking compile settings for existing drivers to adjust to a new scenario. eg adjusting blacklist entries for samsung ssds trim settings ~recently.
There's an entire industry of pluggers and marketers doing whatever they can to get tracks on those Spotify playlists. And also businesses which link artists to playlist curators - for a fee, of course.

There's no sense in which they're an organic reflection of anything at all.

can you elaborate on how “vaccine” has been redefined in the past few years?
It's not one-sided though. Debt is often a very useful tool. You take on debt now because you can do more productive things with the money that will be worth more than the payments you have to make on it later. This is an extremely apt description of technical debt. Often times people will make bad decisions about what debt to take on, and the same is true for technical debt, and often times people will overestimate the value they'll get out of the debt, which is again true for technical debt, but debt is still a useful tool, and technical debt is a useful compromise you make to ship software.
Ex-pat Australian - maybe Australia is slightly less worse off than Germany when it comes to an aging population.

Quick Googling suggests Australia’s +65 year old population is expected to be about 25% by the 2050s [1] while Wiki suggests Germany in about the same period is expected to be about 37/38% [2]. It’s something that has been discussed in Australia for decades but the country still seems to be less impacted than Germany and some other European countries right now.

How is debt not accurate here?

You wanna build something? You may over-invest (too much debt), invest just right (manageable debt) or wait until it's too late (the paragon you mention).

Debt is a nasty word and it's meant to be but like some other bad things if you know what you can manage you can come out on top. People take loans all the time because they want to achieve that sweet spot you mention.

I’ve heard people refer to work (half jokingly) as “adult daycare.” At face value, I dismissed it, but if you think about it from a societal perspective, it’s not completely false. Most of us are toiling away so that society keeps running. It’s like being in a fiefdom and our overlords need to supply bread & circus for our pleasure- difference being were being issued tokens to find bread & circuses on our own.
There's no replacement for Google Maps and Google Photos in the current world IMO.

That feels hyperbolic, but any alternative to Map that I've seen were either:

- strongly platform limited (e.g. only works on android/iOS, and you lose bookmarks, preferences, or even finding consistent info when using any over device)

- use inconsistent apps (e.g. OSM will have different clients on different platforms, which crosses the first point)

- be straight bad (e.g. Apple Maps in low population areas)

- have little to no third data integration ("what's the website of that business I'm looking at")

Photos is another can of worm, as outside of Apple Photos and Flickr every service gaining popularity just died a horrible death. Then Apple Photos is heavily platform limited, and Flickr isn't great for personal photo maintenance and sharing for many reasons, not going into the Yahoo part of it.

These two products have I think a stronger stand than Gmail or even Google Search, and they are the closest to someone's day to day reality.
I agree they're both clear though - it's just two uses of 'section'.

You wouldn't call the article 'a section in the sports article'.

Similarly if you said 'there are ten articles in the section' we'd know it was a newspaper section or similar, that the articles were distinct pieces.
"Continuous integration" just means "automated tests on every push", and no longer means anything much to do with integration, which I always found kinda funny.

It sometimes even means automatic running of scripts that aren't even tests, like automatically generating html from markdown on push. You could say that's continuous deployment, not CI, but you'd be fighting a losing battle. The yml file you wrote to run the deploy, what do you call it? It's a "CI script".

> Crashes are actually good. I find the cause fairly quickly.

I agree, but I can't really square that with the rest of your comment. When you declare everything as weak, things don't crash, you just lose objects and they turn into nil out from under you. Like, the reason your IBOutlets can be weak is your view controller holds onto its view, and then that either directly or indirectly references the thing you actually care about. But if you actually care about it, you should also take responsibility for its lifetime, no? Why rely on some implicit chain to keep the object alive? If you're not careful, you might end up silently dropping the object if you temporarily remove it from the view for layout reasons. It seems very much the opposite of the part where you seem to like manually unwrapping things rather than letting this happen implicitly (which I FWIW don't really agree with, but I don't really want to get into unless you want to hear it :P).

I should also note that using weak references comes with a performance penalty over strong ones, but that's a tangential issue.

I'm struggling to see the advantage over the arithmetic mean if I don't have a model of the true value. How is the confidence estimated for each value? given the example from the article where the variance of the temperature sensor is considered to be constant.
> AlphaFold scored something like 85% in CASP in 2020, in CASP 2016, I-TASSER had I think 42%? So it's ~2x as good as I-TASSER

As someone who doesn't know proteins, but is decent at math, I would not describe it this way. You are assuming a linear relationship between effort and value, but more often than not, effort has diminishing returns. 80dB is not 2x as loud as 40 dB. An 8K image doesn't have 2x the fidelity of a 4K image. If Toyota unveiled a new engine that was 60% efficient tomorrow, no one in their right mind would say "eh, it's just 2x better". If we came out with a CPU that could clock up to 10Ghz we wouldn't say "meh, that's just 2x what we had".

Without being able to define the relationship here, I could just as well say that 85% is 1000x better than 42%. There's just no way to put a number on it. What we can say is that we completely blew all projections out of the water.

Again, I'm not someone working with proteins, but to me it sounds as revolutionary as a 60%+ efficient engine, or a 10Ghz CPU. No one saw it coming or thought it feasible with current technology.
VC: "if you give the founders a taste of blood, they won't sell out early, and they will want even more".
The TLDR for those who read the comments first (or only), the seven themes summarised and paraphrased:-

1. Adapting to climate change (weather volatility and extremes).

2. Resource constraints: more recycling, plant proteins over meat, net zero/renewable energy taking over. (So lower coal and natural gas exports and domestic use, possibly lower meat exports.)

[Water constraints not mentioned in the presser. Wheat and rice exports are threatened.]

3. Escalating health problems (psychological; infectious disease (due to climate change); antibiotic ineffectiveness). [Aging not mentioned here.]

4. Geopolitical shifts. Increased "defense" (i.e. military) spending; more cybercrime [by state-supported actors implied]. Lower willingness to engage in rules-based international trade.

5. Tele-everything: telework, telehealth. Also crypto.

6. AI/internet of things.

7. Decreasing citizen trust in the political class and institutions; increasing internal unrest.

As Insru noted, population aging is absent. Australia is fairly old as a population (although not up there with Japan, South Korea, and Germany) and aging fairly quickly. Historically it has attracted immigrants to bolster its workforce; this policy is meeting increaasing resistance.
Maybe what the CCP believes is bad for us (LGBT rights?) is exactly what we need to move forward?

Another big difference is that motion in video frames are smeared because of a (simulated) shutter speed. Whereas a video game every frame is perfectly crisp. This makes a huge difference on the smoothness experience.

Seems like it is focused so much on how fast it responds to queries that it forgot that it is extremely important on how good it's responses are. Lucene's main benefit is the huge library of token filters to improve the understanding of the text in index. Manticore only has an ability to plug your own single filter in. And while that doesn't make it any less possible to make search results good, it's definitely a lot harder to do. Producing good results is the main goal of search, speed is only necessary for it to not be too slow. A well working search will offset any extra infrastructure that it might need to run fast.
I don't think that's the point the author is trying to make.
