No, it's about making the phones themselves more repairable so that it makes financial sense to have them repaired versus buying new ones all the time. It would also be great if they were more robust in general. Even with the correct tools, and decent skills, repairing a lot of common issues on modern phones is really expensive and complex. After a couple years of value depreciation, it is often questionable whether it's even worth it.

The problem is that today, the incentives are all fucked up. Everyone's just trying to make phones with increasingly greater sex appeal every year so that they can convince consumers to throw out their perfectly working phones. Granted, there was obviously rapid progress for quite a while, but it has slowed down a considerable amount; it's hard to argue that this year's phone line ups offers something significantly game changing versus last year's. People have been saying this for a while, but it just gets truer every year. At best, real meaningful differences occur around every three years or so now.

I really don't think corporations will magically decide to all agree to stop this completely unsustainable and pointless madness. It seems like the perfect place for regulation, because it puts everyone on a level playing field.

I also think people are imagining that the result will be phones that all look and feel like the PinePhone (which, BTW, feels pretty nice in my opinion) but honestly, I seriously doubt that's the case. The degree of corner cutting going on today to get the smallest possible footprint is insane (and yes, I've opened up a reasonably modern phone; the latest being an iPhone XS.) We were perfectly happy with significantly more repairable phones that were not much bulkier...

In my opinion, the concerns are much ado about nothing.

Isn't this just FUD? A quick google tells me that ICE cars catch fire much more often than electric vehicles do. Although I have no idea how often container ships catch fire.
This is an issue of reading comprehension. The quoted sentence says that GitHub and Green each separately have Constitutional rights. It does not imply a compulsory relationship between Green and GitHub.

Green has a Constitutional right to publish anywhere, and GitHub is somewhere, so he has a Constitutional right to publish on GitHub. That does not mean the Constitution compels GitHub, it simply means the Constitution does not restrict Green.
Song spam does not seem to be endemic yet, but there are tons of low quality covers. Many classic rock songs have a couple of decent covers and half a dozen abysmal ones.
conventional warfare is going lose to drones, no doubt about that. I am not sure about hybrid/proxy wars where line between civilian and enemy is blurred (afghanistan, gaza strip).

as powerful as it is, but you cant launch swarm of drones at civilian village which may host a couple insurgents.

the only true countermeasure against western military tech will become hybrid conflict, where entire civilian population is an adversary, where you cannot win by military means only.
It would be great to see this technique applied to scenes which look much different in IR than the equivalent visible-spectrum monochrome. I'm thinking indoors, people wearing sunscreen etc. The results likely wouldn't resemble the original scene, but they'd be interesting!
Arm is a flash in the pan.

5 years from now it will all be RISC-V and high level bytecode. Arm's ISA victory is Pyrrhic.
A container ship would use the equivalent of 641825 BMW 3 series of fuel for that trip. Though one would use premium and the other bunker fuel.

Math based on 2500 gallons per mile for a 3106 mile trip, converted to km and liters, then divided by a 55 liter tank.
make sure there’s no air in the bag. I have added a tiny bit of water/saline solution.

I tend to leave them whole after cleaning the seeds.

If you have a vacuum sealer that’s the way to go
I don’t have paper handy to check but in your bunker->electric conversion are you factoring in the (generally much higher) conversion loss from hydrocarbon to useful energy?

Edit: looks like they’re more efficient than most ICE at around 50%. That at least cuts down the cost spread a fair bit.
Dangerous energy source at the bottom of the ocean? Do you want Godzillas? Cuz that’s how you get Godzillas.
Very niche market. Not many industries need to monitor their workforce so closely. Those that do tend to just use cameras.
Just like you see ads there, it would still work. Whether you visit a site frequently or only once would rely on the exact same mechanism.
I understand the increased complexity is nauseating and churning out an awful lot of really narrow developers, but I will be honest...

All of the bullet points listed are why I enjoy web development. I am able to amass a seemingly unbounded amount of knowledge, work on an unbounded number of interesting, varied problems, and have the blessing of being compensated appropriately for my investment in myself. Modern web development is, within all this complexity, an open door to anywhere in the world for those with patience.

I didn't even want to be a web developer when I was young. I wanted to be a game developer. Complexities and salaries were somewhat equivalent back then. Then around 2015 it became clear that web development was becoming a cutting-edge marriage of a wealth of amazing technologies and applications. I really love being a part of this industry, whether or not I despise 80% of it.
Should have simulcast that speech over webtorrent.
Very cool. For those that want to blog their lists, https://lists.sh has been a lot of fun.

Check the conversion of the energy content to usable energy. More of the Wh of the batteries become motive force than the Wh of the bunker fuel. Your conclusion isn't wrong; the density of the energy storage (be it bunker fuel as chemical energy storage, or batteries as chemical energy storage) matters.
While I can totally imagine that being true, I imagine this is probably more a response to cloud providers wanting to subdivide each physical GPU into virtual/multi-tenant GPUs.
They'll want to be able to provide strong security guarantees to customers who're renting compute on a multi-tenant GPU and are pushing their sensitive data onto it
A couple days ago there was news that the air force is going to start taking the "Angry Kitten" sdr pods they'd used to emulate adversary craft (for training).and statt trying to use it for electronic warfare[1] (cant find original link... this is similar but has a more tentative disposition on it happening or only maybe).

At the time I was mainly thinking jamming. I figure it's probably a different class system to be able to directed-energy fry a craft. But even just throwing some EM spikes at it, having pulse emitting, might be enough to wreck elements of even a pretty capable aytonomous attack craft swarm.

You base that confident statement on what exactly?
Lithium ion, sure. There are other chemistries, such as LFP, where thermal events aren't nearly as exciting.
They failed to mention (in either the best or worst column, YMMV) alt.binaries.tasteless and alt.swedish.chef.bork.bork.bork

Well, I could have finished uni a lot quicker without knowing about them.
As would spammers, so no.
I'm surprised this doesn't mention the class of parsers I believe to be the most useful - the database in question itself. For example I make extensive use of https://pglast.readthedocs.io/en/v3/, which is the postgres SQL parser extracted into a standalone library (pg_query). No 3rd party library attempting to parse a particular flavour of SQL will be more accurate than the database that defines that flavour, since you're also getting all of the edge cases and quirks of it's impementation.
This excerpt is sure to provoke some opinions:

> Worst: Government intervention. They ruined the railroads and the phone companies, and now they're after the Internet. It works like this: Something is good, and private companies are selling it and making it work. The government decides it's a "right," and subsidizes one of those private companies to give it to people who can't afford it. The subsidized company soon runs the competition out of business and becomes a sponsored, sanctioned monopoly. The process has started with the Internet under the guise of "making the Information Superhighway available to everyone." It may sound good at first, but it's a bad idea. We may look back at 1994 as the beginning of the end of the high-quality Net.
some kind of bullshit. Terms "conflict" instead of war.
Promotion of DJI crap, while there are much better ones.
Naming aircraft without pilot inside called a drone.
Strong recommendation about switchblade, while switchblades got awful reputation in Ukraine, and instead used another weapons to kill occupants.
And the most awful thing - the topic created by served military.
We will have to abandon TCP eventually. We can't keep using the same protocol for 100 years. We should think about the next generation stack, what we would ideally like to solve, and not just tiny little incremental changes that preserve legacy design quirks. But sadly it's in the hands of industry rather than researchers and practitioners.
I remember watching the Shoemaker-Levy comet vs. the planet Jupiter : that was one of the earliest interesting “live” things I remember seeing on the internet, via Mosaic on my little Slackware Linux workstation at the local university. That was pretty cool. I often remember it when I’m watching current astronomy events unfold live: probes launch or land on mars, or data releases from telescopes.
As per the Normcore Manifesto [1], refusing to try rebel when society encourages you to really is the greatest form of rebellion.

"If the rule is Think Different, being seen as normal is the scariest
thing...
Which paradoxically makes normalcy ripe for the überelites to adopt as their own, confirming their status by
showing how disposable the trappings of uniqueness are. The
most different thing to do is to reject being different all together.

When the fringes get more and more crowded, Mass Indie turns
toward the middle. Having mastered difference, the truly cool
attempt to master sameness."

Same, and I wrote a blog article about it because front end development has a lot of unique challenges.

When you said "full repair manual" I was expecting something much more interesting, e.g. with schematics and boardviews which I bet many un-authorized repair shops already have, but after taking a look, I'd say it's only better than nothing. It looks more like a very detailed parts-swapping guide, probably the internal training material they already had, with additional lawyer-motivated warnings/disclaimers added.

...and installing the battery requires a special tool? It reminds me of German engineering, or some parody thereof.
This has been going on for quite a while, since 2013 at least.

Rdio used to have a top played section which for a while got dominated by some very very weird albums. This was one of them:

The story behind how it got to the top is outlined here:

It feels sometimes that there has to be small, influential group of people on some jihad against generated pornography on the Internet, with impacts in the order of $10-100mil.

I'm sure this is not a view shared by everyone, but it is a straightforward course of action to add such disclaimers in cases where you do agree with it and not wanting to be targeted and blacklisted from payment networks(that seems amongst their weaponry).

So far we have scaled to a few percent of what would need to be rebuilt every 20 years indefinitely.
With [x]it!, lexicographic sorting of lines works as well, as long as you stick to the following rules:

- Write due dates first (if you use due dates)

- Pad your priority with dots (if you use priorities)

- Don’t use line breaks within descriptions, so only single-line items

- Don’t use titles

That way, the lines will sort by checkbox status (open first), then by priority (highest first), and finally by due date (soonest first). For example:

[ ] !!! -> 2022-05-01 Something
[ ] ..! -> 2022-06-15 Something else
[x] .!! -> 2022-01-04 More text

Apple's popularity is largely due to its marketing power.

Sure, I'd say that's a real photo - you could easily pull it off with a single exposure of film.

Just because the photo is real, doesn't mean it's free from deception. I could take a "real video" of gorilla suit^W^W bigfoot and it'd still be deceptive.

"you cannot do everything related to data in SQL. In some cases, you need a traditional programming language to work with the data"

Them's fighting words :)

But point taken regarding the benefit of modern language tools applied to query-based work.
I don't. I follow a bunch of RSS feeds on Feedly instead. Blog posts sent to be of a much higher quality than random posts on Reddit.
Significant progress has been made on video - inter-frame preservation of the surface level spatial invariants in 3D environments has been achieved.

But preservation of transtemporal spatial invariants requires understanding far more than that - dynamic lighting, density, flexibility, rigidity and momentum, the viscosity of the air, the skeletomuscular system, the flow of the fluids within, and so on ad infinitum.

And a lot of that is tacitly understood by the human mind (even when the human mind would struggle to generate a scene, it can often detect that something is wrong - try turning on the lights in a lucid dream).

It's going to be quite some time before it reaches the point where a human cannot detect that video was generated (or altered) and even longer before computers can't.

But then, it's going to be a shit-show - and I'm not talking about the bestiality videos.

Evidence, as we know it, will be meaningless - the implications for the legal system are terrifying.
This sounds like they went extinct. I recognize Alaska is a conservative state, but it shouldn’t take a genius to work this out.

If they do exist elsewhere in the world then they’re still regionally extinct, which you’d expect when exposed to rapid environmental change that counters their evolved characteristics.

This sounds pretty much the same as if people went fishing at a lake, and then when the dries up they start asking what happened to the fish.
Seems like small drones are the best weapon against big drones. Kind of curious that they seem to assume that the drone needs an operator. If I were defending against a drone swarm I’d want my drones to be piloted by AI.
While I agree with your comment I'm not sure how I would feel receiving such a message as a paying customer.
I'm amazed how close we came to the CLIPPER chip. That would have undermined literally everything digital. Thanks to everyone who helped kill that.
To expand on heavy container ship engine design, which is worth a look for its own sake:

> Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs per hp per hour (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption). Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/hp/hour. At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That is, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel in converted to motion. [2]

I heard a similar story a couple of years ago: some no-name artist with a fairly good amount of plays on Spotify who could not be found anywhere else online. It was less obviously ai-generated back then (more instrumental than vibe/ambient), so it was speculated that it could be a musician working on commission for Spotify, who was then stuffing their playlists with these songs to cut costs. I can't find any traces of this story anymore though.
Missile generally seems to imply a specific form of propulsion.
I've interviewed maybe 20 times in the last year and the best have always just started as a conversation about what a place is doing now, what they want to do in the future and how the candidates skills and experience can help them get there.

All the take-homes and whiteboards seemed like the interviewers special gotcha idea they'd been working on for maybe 10 seconds before asking me to do it and ended up full of holes, bad processes and generally showing more about them than anything.

One place that had no idea what devops was actually got upset I finished too quickly by making use of some FOSS tools and asked for a week to design a harder test. Huge red flag lol.

If you and your teams cant sit down and have one or two hour-long conversations with an engineer and get a good idea of if their skills and experience will help you - you're dysfunctional have bigger issues that you need to look inward about.
I looked at that, the energy density seems too low. 10-20Wh/kg vs 260 for lithium ion batteries. For as the internet told me cargo ships carry 30 days worth of fuel. I think I figured flow batteries could power a cargo ship for a couple of days. Which isn't enough.

Interesting idea though in that you could pump the two chemical solutions into the ship. Sail it to it's destination and then pump the used fluids out and replace them with fresh. And it's not a bomb like lithium ion batteries.
There's no reason for Apple to switch. The amount they might save on license fees wouldn't pay for the transition.
You are overgeneralizing. The "valley of the clueless" referred to places like Dresden and Greifswald that were not able to receive broadcasts from West Germany and hence were somewhat more closed communities (also for other reasons). On the other hand there are places like Leipzig that didn't have this problem and as a historical center of commerce and trade always received guests from all over the world, even during GDR times.

Saxony and Thuringia are not one homogeneous place, sentiments and opinions differ and so does the political situation.
Isn't that what the parent described?
Can you elaborate on the "awful" reputation of Switchblades?
If putting 265,000 sq ft of solar panels is cheaper than the equivalent battery needed, why wouldn't they do that?
My mistake. It was an incomplete thought.

I meant to say specifically that until we can define things from an objective and not subjective stance, AI will not fare better.

That's an interesting proposition on the solution. I feel I see some potentially undesirable effects similar to the legal system but perhaps better than what exists currently.
the danger of EV is spontaneous fire. It needs only one faulty battery cell to short due to abuse/overcharge and lead to runaway reaction and burning of the whole thing down.

Imagine you are sleeping at your house, parked your EV in garage and it catches fire and burns your whole house down.

Local Kitchens is like this. They have a single storefront serving 19 different cuisines. I'm guessing they're waiting to see if one or two pop off with the local community? Interesting to see this "algorithmic surface area" issue popping up somewhere else. Is this standard business school training?

At NASA I wrote a set of Python scripts to help with planning and telemetry for a Mars mission. I had to convert a lot of time data points between UTC and a Mars timezone/clock (specific to the rover itself). There was an officially blessed tool written in Java that ran from the command line for time conversion. It was too slow to call out for each data point, so I figured it would be generally useful to port the conversion to Python.

First I dug into the Java source, which it turned out called out to a C library. I believe the C library linked out to a Fortran library. It was a lot more complicated than a simple scale and calendar - there were corrections for special and general relativity. Converting times actually required propagating orbits and estimating some non-closed-form quantities. In the end is was more work than it was worth, so we just did an approximation ("only" good to a few milliseconds - fine for our case).

So I guess item number 100 on this list should be "time is experienced the same way by all observers" and maybe 101 "simultaneity depends on the reference frame" :)
But that's just it. If the food is no good, then you may avoid "Wing Bucket" in the future. But then you try out "Thrilled Cheese" and it sucks, too! Okay, mark that one down as crappy. A month later you check out "Super Mega Dilla" and damn if it isn't shitty microwaved food as well.

A real restaurant in the real world can't play this game. Sure, there are combo KFC/Taco Bells out there, but it's not some sort of subterfuge. Obviously those locations are combining the two brands into one kitchen. Do with that info what you will.

When browsing options on an app, there is no similar affordance. You have to play detective to discover that IHOP, Super Mega Dilla, Wing Bucket, and Thrilled Cheese are all the same place. And only one of those is a real brand that carries any kind of reputation. The others can be burned at will if they don't work.

What frustrates me is that this scheme seems to be working? It's been like this for a while now, and I don't understand why people keep using these delivery apps. Cold food, delivered late, for twice the price, from a phony restaurant, by a gig worker that is more often than not getting shafted on their own expenses. What's not to love?
Why? IPv6 enabled the address range. In the TCP space alternatives exists (UDP/Quick). I do not believe TCP will be replaced.

The only thing which surely will be replaced are the routing exchange protocols like BGP with all the shenanigans happening there.

If you believe in space colonialism then there will be some kind of message oriented layer on top to deal with the latencies (think universal SMTP or something).
> as powerful as it is, but you cant launch swarm of drones at civilian village which may host a couple insurgents.

If a hellfire missile with a few civilian casualties is acceptable, I don’t see why a swarm of drones with a few civilian casualties isn’t.

Not that I think it’s acceptable in the first place, but…
Modern tomahawk cruise missiles can loiter, with two hours total flight time (some of which is spent getting to the area.)

Don't forget that the Obama administration had the Cash for Clunkers program that destroyed the engines of the cars that were turned in. It did take a bunch of guzzlers off the street, but it also stripped away a large number of cars that might be in the used car market still (it ended in 2009, so some 15-year old used cars are not part of our world.

Big part of the issue? Probably not. Contributor? I expect so.
